    Why did you get into this hobby?

    I hated beer. All I had been exposed to was BMC. Didn't care for it one bit. Was tangentially aware of homebrewing (had seen the magazines on the shelf). Picked up BYO and read an article and they mentioned being able to change and create flavor profiles and there were pictures of beer that...

    Beer Bar

    I would HIGHLY suggest working in a craft beer bar or any bar first. OR getting on with a distributor. 1. give you inventory experience 2. give you contacts/networking There are a million and ten things a bar owner has to be on top of. Some hands on experience would help.

    Beers to learn with

    I never considered Spotted Cow a farmhouse ale - always had it pegged as a Cream Ale. Never tasted the same as any of the Saisons I've had tho it's been about 3 years since I had a SP and the last 2 I had tasted like pints of butter. Beeradvocate has it as a Cream Ale and Northern Brewer lists...

    Best overall gun... Target, hunting, home defense, shtf

    I'm a "right tool for the job" kinda guy but if I had to do all of those in 1 - it would be AR 15 hands down. Straight targets - long range? I'd want a 6.5 Creedmoor on a Sturgeon action, Rock/Krieger/Bartlien/Brux barrel, McM A5 topped with a S&B. Hunting? 6.5 Creedmoor on a basic M700 with...

    5 Expensive Hobbies article

    I don't know of how a person's going to get into SCUBA for 500 bones in equipment, even if you dive tables without a computer. Any hobby can be expensive - it's all in how far you want to push it. I can shoot sporting clays with a 400 dollar 870 once or twice a year or I can shoot tournaments...

    Beersmith on a Chromebook

    I'm IT stupid - let's just get that out of the way. From what I understand the Chromebook isn't like a normal laptop - no normal OS. Was thinking about getting one for the price to replace my ancient Toshiba. Anyone running Beersmith on it? How's it working for you?

    Theoretically, say a brewery wants to brew my beer

    I'd settle for nothing less than a bowl full of brown M&M's

    Brewing Pet Peeves

    I believe classification 1A allows for it. Judging by the commercial "examples" listed by the BJCP.

    Books

    Make sure you read the corrections wiki - there's more than a bit of bad info in that book. Corrections Wiki Issues according to Martyn Martyn's first blush at it Ron's take Jeff's take I bring them up, not to slag Garrett - he was given an impossible task but because I also...

    Jake Keeler and Michael Dawson Leave Northern Brewer

    I think for me tho - this case doesn't make sense. As I read it (granted I'm tired) they have their fingers in 2 other pies. Office supplies and marketing products. I know people like to think that if you can run a sandwich shop you can run a car company (so to speak) but from what I've seen...

    Who uses tap water?

    Tap water here. Beers have been fine and others like them. I've been trying to learn more about water and how it works for all grain. Haven't gotten my mind around it yet. My water report: All are ppm Ca: 35 CL: 15 Mg: 12 Na: 7 SO4: 24 pH: 7.2 Alkalinity (as CaCO3) :100 Hardness (as...

    WTF Happened To BTV?

    Chip, Dawson and Keeler were the ones who literally got me brewing. I came across an episode and got hooked. As such NB became my LHBS so to speak. Bought ALL my stuff there and have made trips to their Milwaukee store for purchases as well. That's a 4 hour round trip to buy a kit and talk to...
