    How much do you brew in a year?

    70 Gals so far. Probably on pace to come close to double that by EOY.

    Let's talk Brewer Baseball

    I'd talk smack but I'm a Cubs fan. I can't take delight in other people's getting their hopes up and having them shattered into a million little pieces. (See any Brewer's fan in July and you'll know what I mean) It's still verrrrry early is all I'm sayin!

    It's so sad when you're first brew is gone.

    I have 6 bottles of Oatmeal Stout left and I'm going to really miss it when it's gone. That's my go to beer when I can't decide what I want. I brewed it the 2nd week of January so it's lasted me a good while. I've been taking 2 bottles from each brew and setting them aside for my 1 year...

    Simple Slip Up...

    I did the same thing on my 3rd batch. The guy at the Homebrew shop told me it was a sanitizer and I didn't know any better. I did rinse it off as well (I do that with my One step as well because I don't like the idea of any chemicals in my beer). My 3rd batch was a barleywine that kicked...

    Ever seen a tornado?

    Lived in Tulsa, OK for a year after I graduated. Saw 1 nasty one when I was driving out to the Sand Dunes in Wynona. About scared the bejeezus out of me but thankfully it was headed the other way. No desire to ever see one in real life again. I'll stick to Jersey where the people are crazy...

    Where to get bottles?

    Shipping shouldn't be too much of a problem if you order from www.austinhomebrew.com they only charge 5.99 if you order enough other stuff. Their kits are really good too so grab some bottles and a kit and you are good to go.

    I blame Cheese!

Plus, 311 was around when I was in college and I do like their stuff, just haven't bought a record since I was in college (11 years ago, now you're...

    Nothing is happening???

    I had something similar happen with my last barley wine. I pitched a dry packet of Nottingham after 3 days of nothing and the thing went gangbusters on me. I always keep a spare dry yeast packet around just for this type of occassion. Good luck! I'm sure it will taste great once it gets...

    My Dog Broke Through the Screen...

    My dog has seperation anxiety. He's 8 years old now and doesn't freak as much as when he was younger but he has gone through 2 windows, a steel kennel (ate through it Alien style), 2 doors and destroyed 3 couches. Oh and he likes to chase deer when they are in our yard as he's blown an ACL...

    Just gotta ask about this

    I lasted 1 session with it and it was horrible. I threw it out and switched over to a standard kit. Don't waste your money.

    National Homebrew Day

    I'm going to do a Stone's Russian Imperial Sudo Clone attempt partial Mash. Since I don't have the capacity to do a beer that big all-grain. Didn't realize it was national HB day but I had already planned on doing it with a few friends that are interested in learning about the hobby. Too...

    Drinking in California

    San Diego - Stone is a must! They just opened a new brewpub there instead of just the brew store. I can't wait until the next time I'm in town to check it out. http://stonebrew.com

    Sorry to hijack the thread here. One Step and Water mixed up in a Spray bottle? What do you use for this. I've been meaning to try something like this but I wasn't sure what would be effective. Thanks in advance!
