It's my dad's birthday and was supposed to be my son's birthday but he came out a week later. I think we may need to drink tonight.

My BIL's drink. One only likes Sam Adam's Boston Lager and the other only likes Miller Lite.

Get a life. Find something worthwhile to do with your time.

Word up on decoctions. My heffe has an amazing malty aftertaste brought out by the decoction. It causes some caramelization of the wort to occur. I generally just take about 3 big scoops (from a 1 qt strainer) from the MLT and dump them into a pot, then add just a little water. Over about 20...

Looks like we may not be going to my holiday party on the 15th which means my wife will be able to join us for dinner and we won't have to bring the rug-rat.

Marketing side, not brewing side. I'm not looking to get grain under my nails but I will risk a paper-cut. By the way, I'm renting House #1. Lease starts in a week.

Inspired by this thread and general disdain towards my boss, I sent an e-mail to Goose Island and got a quick reply requesting a resume. I might play along and send one out just to see where it takes me.

Don't know if it's real, but I almost hope it isn't.

I don't see why constant stirring would be necessary. I think that if properly constructed, this could provide a very easy way to control temps. Does it really matter whether you're heating the grains or the wort? Seems like heat is heat. Likewise, (and try to be civil here) what about...

Yellow, several of the members here are going to be participating in a Single Malt, Single Hop experiment where we use one base grain and one hop on a standardized schedule. If you'd like to participate in the swap, consider becoming a paying member. (Brew swaps are currenly a "members only"...

So if this is a typical HERMS setup, then I have a question. Why haven't I seen any setups where 158' water is pumped from a direct-fired HLT into an immersion chiller which is placed in an MLT and routed back to the HLT? Wouldn't this allow for steady temperature holding without increasing the...

Nice shirt, but isn't wearing a brewing shirt while you're brewing kinda the equivalent of wearing the t-shirt of the band you're seeing? Are you being 'that guy'?

You say it as though it may be a chore to buy a lot of different kinds of good beer and finding out what you don't like.

SB's are worthless to me. In my younger days, I did the "Insanity" sauces until I got tired of throwing away a plate of unediblly hot food. Rule 2: Never diddle the Missus after working with peppers.

My wife wants to come but we need to figure out babysitting. EDIT: Anyone in the area have kids capable and interested in babysitting a 2 year old for a couple of hours?

I wouldn't call that "moderately bitter" for an IPA. Have you tried a Simcoe / Amarillo IPA yet? I don't know too many people who don't have about that combination for their IPA. Interesting choice for Kolsch yeast. Are you going to ale or lager? EDIt; 150º for mash? Isn't that a bit low, or...

Meant to post - Fasco rocks. They fixed the problem and promptly shipped it back to me at no charge. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to buy a motor. Clayton was just the nicest guy to ever talk to. AAAAAAAAA++++++++++ to Fasco. My pump is fixed, now I just need to find time to brew.

Not yet, because I use my cordless for drilling into soft wood / wallboard. This summer I'm going to build a deck and I'm hoping that it'll drive a self-tapping cement screw into the concrete. If not, I'll rent a heavy-duty drill and use the corded drill for sinking the anchor bolts into the...

As a dog owner, I think we need to make sure we keep ourselves grounded from time to time and stop thinking about them as children who should some day bury us (or dig us up, depending on the dog and their love of digging). Dogs are lucky in that we can say "It's time" and they can go in a...
