I used a rolling pin and a 1-gal ziploc bag. The bag did end up with a bunch of little holes in it, but I wasn't storing them so that wasn't really a problem. My only concern with using the blender is that we have one of those Ninja blenders, and I think it would turn most of my grain into...

Cool. Thanks. I'm only doing small batches so I won't be doing a lot of grain at a time. The local shop is planning on setting up a grain mill in the shop, so hopefully this won't be an issue much longer.

I'm trying to do some one-gallon batches using liquid and dry extract. But I also plan to steep some specialty grains in most of the batches. My question is how do I crush the grains without a mill? My local shop is new and doesn't have their mill set up yet so all their grains are whole. I was...

Here's what I did to figure out how much honey to use: First, find out how much sugar you need to get the carbonation level you want. Then figure out the sugar content of the honey. You can use the nutrition info to get the sugar amount per serving, by weight, and measure out the proper amount...

I would actually start with this before you cut out your shape. Size your logo to the size you want your handle, then trace it onto the wood. Use that to cut out your shape, then it will be the exact size and shape of the logo. To get the lines and colors, I would use a Dremel or some sort of...

It's not a label, but I wanted an easy way to identify the different bottles. I keep a small stock of cardboard six-pack holders to organize all my bottles. My wife had a can of chalkboard spray paint for a chalkboard label project, so I decided to paint some of my six-packs. I sprayed them with...

Here's the one I made to replace the basic plastic one that came with my kegerator. I had a spent 25mm casing from an AC-130, stripped the paint off, repainted it black, glued the Ordnance/Ammo pin on, glued a wooden dowel inside to have something to drill for the tap handle insert from Northern...

I got lucky one day doing a recycling run. A guy pulled up in a Prius and when he opened the back hatch all he had was a car load of beer bottles. So I asked him if I could take some of them, went through them and got all the brown pry-offs and ended up with about 7 6-packs. That really bumped...

The only thing about honey is that the sugar content isn't always the same. You'll have to figure out how much sugar you need for the amount of carbonation you're looking for, then figure out the sugar content of your honey using the amount per serving chart, then do the math and figure out how...

Hit up Bosco's for dinner, then head down to the Saucer. Or do Vino's for lunch and then take the Diamond Bear tour. It was still free the last time I did it, but I think they're charging a small fee now. You do get four tokens for half-size beers with the tour. The distillery tour is, I...
