It's difficult to rub a tree without antlers. No really got two with the bow this year been hunting a size able buck for the last week.

Unless your drinking a ton id say shes off base. Ive been drinking on average about the same during the week and way more on the weekends and dont gain any weight. Im not saying you cant gain wait from beer but as long as you eat a balanced diest, exercise 3 time a week, and cut soda and...

Made this one yesterday. I Misjudged my mash volume and had to hold back a few pounds of base malt but I think it will be fine. I used Whitelabs Southern German Lager for one 5 gallons run and Safel dry lager yeast for the other. I should have waited till it cooled a little more to...

Like some others have said you should look at your water report it will tell the pH as well as many other useful value that have been discussed in other threads. I believe your problem lies in your water. If you are on a well then get it tested. Unless your water is extreme to the hard side you...

German lagers are my favorite style. Although due to space and general lazyness I find my self only brewing them about 25% of the time. I brew alot of light ales with neutral yeast inorder to churn out lager like beers quick. Last year though I started taking it alot more serious and paying...

I'll try to find my camera when I get home. Mine is no where nice as you. Just standard. Thats awesome brings new meaning to the term "chest freezer"! Better not let my wife see that she loves nautical themed things and would want one. Haha!

Im talking about Co2/nitrogen mixture for dispensing stouts and possibly english pales.

For those of you who have assembled a jockey box. I recently decided to build a jockey box for some up coming events and went with the 50' pre bent stainless coils. I having problems with the assembly. When I went to install them I ran into the issue that the fittings are both facing the...

Thanks for the feed back that clears things up! I was going to make a 3 tap box so I guess I will go with two right hands and one left.
