+1 to Olympic Brewing Supplies in Bremerton. I have had nothing but great experiences. The owner/employees are very knowledgeble and the prices are great. It sounds like its worth the drive it will save you money.

I love the process of refining recipes. Both in brewing and BBQing. I also love all of the DIY involved. I have made many modifications to my BBQ to improve its performance.

So i brewed a Belgian Tripel that just turned out to be almost too much! It has a very strong flavor. It is very dark because i did too small of a boil. I can tolerate it but others cant. I also brewed a Sam Adams Boston Lager clone that turned out wonderful. I thought i would try mixing the two...

I recently made a Sam Adams Boston Lager clone and did the same thing. I left the stopper in the primary for a week before i racked it to the secondary and dry hopped it. Before i pushed it into the carboy it had popped out and the carboy was wide open for who knows how long. Not only that but...

I brewed my first lager a week ago (1/18/10). A Sam Adams boston Lager clone. I let the beer ferment in my basement which is not heated. Just my luck we have freakishly warm temps here in the Pacific Northwest and my beer has been fermenting at around 60 degrees. I know this is a high temp for a...

Thank you how did you do that?

This is what i came up with as my Brew Logo. I created it with Word. I dont know how to insert a pic but it should show up as my profile pic. What do you think. And if you cant see it sorry for wasting your time.

I also live in Bremerton. I started last Christmas with a basic setup from Olympic and now kegging and got alot more money into it. Still making extracts and i reccomend the Rogue Warrior Ale clone recipe from Olympic. It was spot on.

I made a blackberry stout that called for adding Blackberry preserves into the secondary. It was in the secondary for three weeks and i kegged it a couple days ago. When i pulled a sample prior to kegging it it was syruppy and had preserves floating in it but tasted all right. I thought that i...

I am a really lucky man. I got my beginners brewing kit for Christmas 2008. Since then i have built a kegerator with a three tap setup, i got a beer gun, all the bottles i could ever use, a secondary carboy, :Dand i have brewed 9 batches of beer. My SWMBO is just happy that i have something that...

Brewing a pale ale and took my Starting gravity reading at 80 degrees with a result of 1.068. after waiting for it to cool I pitched my yeast at the right temp (65 degrees) but forgot to take the gravity reading. I know the Hydrometer works at about 60 degrees most accuratly but isnt there a...

Does anyone know of a cheap place to buy drip trays for my Kegerator. I just finished it and i need a drip tray. I would even like to know of a good way to build one. :drunk:

I bought a uesd fridge to convert to a kegerator. It is a Kenmoore side by side. I figure i can keep some frozen beer glasses in the freezer side. I am going to drill the hole for the tap in the door and i was thinking of drilling the hole for the C02 line in the back or side. I have looked...

I am going to be kegging my next batch of beer this weekend. I am wondering if there is a way to bottle it from a keg w/co2 to eliminate the sediment in the bottom of the bottle caused by the yeast activating from the addition of priming sugar. I would like to have some on tap and some in bottles.
