I found this video great. I built up a top of 2x6's. I'll work on the legs next week. PJJ do you have any pictures of your table?

Hey guys, Has anyone ever built a beer garden table? I'm trying figure out that best way to make a traditional Bavarian table. 10' long by 2' wide. We want to make them out of wood and with the accompanying bench. In germany these tables have fold up legs but I was thinking of just making...

We ended up giving the sign away to a friend. Thanks for your interest. Next time no Facebook picture...

I just decommissioned a 7bbl Hops brewery in Connecticut and have a big neon sign for sale. It has a 7" crack in the plastic but its still in great condition. If I could get it to Denver I would. The sign is about 4' by 3'. On a side note check out http://www.facebook.com/DenverBeerCompany...

Did anyone get a chance to try my beer last night at GABF? I think it was #18 "Patrick's Big IPA"?

After a long lager this beer tastes fine. No fruit or fusel flavors from the hot ferment.

A few weekends ago I had the opportunity to brew in the GABF ProAm competition. I got lucky and won the Dred Hop Homebrew competition and the Mt. Sun Pub and Brewery in Boulder, CO chose my IPA to brew for the GABF ProAM competition. I showed up at 7:30 am and ready to mash in with the head...

Its been 3 days fermenting at 65-67...what experience do people have fermenting this yeast a little warm? If it throws fruitiness I'm ok with that but I hope not to get any fusel alcohol flavors. Does anyone have experience with this yeast?

In Colorado a person can only own one liquor store so most of the liquor stores are mom and pop places not corporations. A person selling craft beer can walk in and talk directly to the owner or beer buyer. This is one reason in my opinion craft beer does so well in Colorado. Well that and...

I received the e-mail from the Colorado Brewers Guild describing why we should appose craft beer. I think the Brewers Guild e-mail has some good points but I added a few additional reasons why I think we should appose HB1186! So while you're surfing homebrewtalk at work tomorrow shoot an email...

Hey - My bavairian adventure was great I went with my girlfriend and we had a awesome time. With 2 people at Oktoberfest its easy to switch tents, come in late and do whatever you want. No need to reserve tables ahead of time. We came back with tons of friends from all over the world. I...

10 or 11 lbs of dark munich malt and 1 oz of tenninger hops breweded with the augistenier lager yeast. Its one of the best beers I've made, supprizingly its very drinkable. It has a well bananced flavor with a hint of hops. The finish isn't too dry nor too sweet. Its something I could...

I'm teaching this week's class about amber and dark lagers tomorrow night at our BJCP study group. I'm going to go buy a bunch of the recommend beers and we'll taste those. Any advice from those that have studied for the BJCP or taken the test? Any of those beers end up on your test? Any...
