Hey everyone, I just got 4+ pounds of assorted whole flower hops for some work I did on a van that belongs to a brewer for a very well respected brewery out my way!! I got a whole bunch of Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, Citra, Simcoe and Brambling Cross. With all of the brewing I need to do...

Hey everyone, 20 min into my first brew day in almost a year and i have to admit I'm nervous again. Decided to go with Yoopers DFH 60min clone. Due to the homebrew shop's hops inventory i substituted the Warrior with Millenium and the Amarillo with Simcoe. Whitbread starter ready to pitch...

Ok. Soi I have no where else to discuss this so here goes. The SWMBO had recently been preescribed Lexapro for general anxiety disorder. She has suffered from this for a LONG time, but it has never gotten so bad as to seek medical help until about a month ago. We have been together for 11±...

I am an auto tech in Downingtown, Pa. About 1 mile from Victory Brewing. Regularly, we work on some of their work and personal vehicles. Today I clocked in and noticed some beer in the upstairs fridge. Fresh from the bottling line (it's even missing labels) was a case of Yakima Gold! I can't...

It will be bottled on 10/24. So the first will go in the fridge on 11/7

After finishing my first AG brew and throwing 18 lbs of wonderful grain in the trash, I searched HBT to find what I could do with the spent grain. I deicided to try some soft pretzels to take with me to my brother's house for NFL Ticket Sundays. He supplies the 65" LED, 2 x21" HD monitors, 1 19"...

Just tasted my first AG batch last night. It was an attempt at DogFish Head 90 min. While not a dead ringer for the 90 Min, it was freaking delicious. In my opinion, the jump to all grain was absolutely worth it. The extract "twang" is gone ( i guess that's what it was, because it's been there...
