This is quite an old post so I suppose I'll share the update because I forgot I made the post haha. A few months after writing this, I bought a house that sat on the market for 6+ months untouched in 2017. Very bad dog pee smell. You could see where the old owners kept their dogs crates. My...

Got to drink a beer with one of my idols last night (Sam from Dogfish Head if you’re not familiar). Such a cool experience and a great human. We were both drinking Grateful Dead Pale Ales, then I had a flight of 2017 olde school barleywine, siracusa nera, and 2016 world wide stout.

That’s a great story! It is a great beer, especially for being $3 at a random grocery for 19oz of it. Your homebrew version sounds great too!

Golden Monkey while trying out a new induction setup. I wanted a dedicated system for 1-2 gallon batches. $5 induction top I got from an Amazon liquidation auction and a $20 pot from Walmart. Checking the boil off rate. So far so good.

Bumping my own thread. Coming back from a small hiatus brewing and going to brew this recipe for the first time on my new induction system.

Been raining nonstop but had no choice to get the yard mowed today. Just drank a coors banquet for the heck of it and now a DFH 60 minute. One of the beers that will always hold a special place in my heart.

Are there any online stores that are good for buying 1 gal batch grain and ingredients? Even if I have to pay more, I'd rather just be able to buy exactly what I need per recipe by the oz rather than have to buy pounds and store it/weigh it/mill it myself. I’m leaning great fermentations but...

Always wanted to move back to my hometown and open up a brewery. That’s never going to happen but it’s always been my vision to have our school sports logo on tap handles. Finally bought my own printer and figured it would be a fun project. Made the model in OnShape and is in the correct school...

Got a 3# corned beef brisket for $9 after st pattys day. It’s been in the freezer and decided I wanted to make pastrami. Soaked it in water to desalinate, rubbed with black pepper, mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and brown sugar. Just threw it in the smoker. Once it’s...

Bottom draw with traditional dip tube. Have it set at 38F. Maybe I’ll pull a few more pints and see if it continues.

Thanks for the response. No floating dip tube. I’ve never seen anything like that either which is why I’m so thrown off on what it could be lol.

Third or fourth pull of a beer I kegged two weeks ago. Haven’t brewed in a year. Is this normal sediment or bad sediment I shouldn’t be drinking? They’re more like strings. It’s a dry hopped mosaic ipa. Very of putting to see but tastes good.

Threw together a few pepperoni and hot pepper pies last night on the pit boss.

It’s the only way I’ve cooked steak the past few years. Can’t even order at a restaurant anymore because it’s so much better at home. I suck at food pics but the final product with more bourbon.

Glass of Bulleit and reverse searing a ribeye for dinner.
