Anybody home brewing in South Orange County? Anybody know of any homebrew clubs in the area that are active??

I like the idea of jockey boxes and/or CO2 canister and kegs for mutual use throughout the club and for meetings. You can also use these for rentals, I know a LHBS that doesn't rent jockey boxes but recommends a local club that will rent theirs out for a nominal fee for extra club income ( or...

People are gonna drink. Whether they have to pay for it, or whether its free. If there is no BMC, and homebrew is the only thing that's offered in addition to wine, people are going to at least try it. Lets say they don't like the first one, dump it and try the next, that's two per person right...

Does anyone know if I can carb naturally in a mini keg then use that mini keg in a beertender?

Worked all night brewin all day!! Budget brown from AHS. Got my new turkey fryer. Time to fire it up!!

Ok, so I have already started the process on my cider, an kinds forgot about it. I used 3 gallons of apple juice and some Safale US 05. Now, as I said, I forgot about it, so it has been fermenting for a couple of months now. What are my next steps when I planting bottle it?? My guess would be to...

Budget brown ale from Austin Homebrew Supplies. 20$ for a partial mash kit + 6$ flat rate shipping ain't to bad. Next purchase- 10gal Rubbermaid to replace my 5 gallon paint strainer, going from BIAB to all grain soon.

Hey guys, need some some input on a brown ale recipe. Here's a screen shot from brewers assistant I was thinking about adding some hazelnut extract, for something similar to Rogue's Hazlenut Brown Nectar.

Rogues voodoo banana peanut butter whatever the F it is. I actually thought it was the bacon maple, cause of the same pink bottle, saw that everyone said it was gross, had to decide for myself. Well, didn't realize it was banana, but still disgusting.

No brewing today. Got a little behind in my ordering. Forgot to order the next batch so I can brew and bottle same day like normal. Brown partial mash on the way from Midwest.

Had a barrel aged old Rasputin, got halfway through it and SWMBO can home with Mexican food. That's a good way to kill a 20$ beer. ( the half of it I had before Mexican food was delicious though)

Challenge him. Start with the same basic proven recipe. You brew it your way (with minimal changes) let him brew it his way( all the changes he wants). Do both of these at the same time, bottle or keg them the same way. And have some outsiders judge the two against each other. That said, I'm a...

Not a fan of Sam Adams cherry wheat, that sh$ts gross.

Hey guys! I need a clever name for a Vanilla Cream Ale. I'll post a picture later, but this beer turned out to be a cream soda with some alcohol content to it. It's pretty sweet, creamy, and very vanilla-y. Yet still drinkable. Next time ill probably leave out the vanilla during bottling or at...

Brewed a hefe yesterday, and made a swamp cooler for the first time. What I didn't expect was the rediculously hot day California had in store today. I'm in a small apartment with no A/C. I it spent 1 day at above average temps will it be ok?

The aren't the right plastic. Better bottles are made out of polyethelyne (i think). If you can find the drinking water bottles that have a 1 one the bottom those can be used for brewing, but pretty much all the others (commonly 5, and 7) will impart flavored and impurities. Some people still...

Was making my rounds at the local total wine when I walked into the self serve leg cooler and found a box that said Limit 1 per customer. And found this. The label on the backside of the bottle says its an imperial IPA. 9%abv. Columbus, amarillo, centennial, ad since hops. Wonderful flavor...

Thanks guys!
