I don’t have a lathe but I make custom tap handles out of nerdy figurines and collectibles. Here are some of the ones I’ve made.

I make adjustments to my tap water. I got a report from ward labs and it was super soft so I use brunwater to find the adjustments for the profile I am shooting for. I haven't been checking the PH, I just trust the calculations. I will probably get a PH meter eventually but for now I'm happy...

Imperial A18 Joystick or Wyeast 1764 (Pacman yeast) is my go to for clean ales. It's similar to 1056 but has a med-high flocculation. It's super clean in the low 60's and I haven't gotten an attenuation below 78% out of a couple dozen batches using it.

Well it's an overnight camping trip wedding so I'm planning on an all the reception being an all night party in the woods lol. Thanks for the advice on the hops though. I was just thinking the 90min idea was kind of cool and everyone seems to love DFH. But I guess it might not be worth the...

While that would be the safe way to go, I want to give my guests something I came up with. This is one of 5 beers I will have on tap and the only recipe I haven't perfected since I don't brew IPA's. So if it ends up being garbage (which is highly unlikely) there will still be plenty of other...

I bought a 5# beer gas tank and regulator (about $150 total). My keezer has intertaps so I just bought a restrictor plate nozzle ($10) and was good to go. Totally worth it and I'm now spoiled and can't drink stout on Co2 anymore. And it's fun to experiment with what beers are good on nitro. I am...

Entered! Thanks for the givaway!

I am brewing all the beer for my wedding in August and need some advice on the IIPA I'm going to brew. I do not like IPA's at all and don't brew them but everyone is asking that one of the beers I brew be an IIPA. Needles to say, since I can't stand IPA's I do not know if one tastes good or...

Here is a couple more I recently made. Imperial Stout SMaSH Bros Pilsner Audrey II Amber Super Saison

I look at brewing like I do any other hobby. Pretty much when you add the word hobby to the end of anything it increases the price exponentially. I tend drop a lot (which is a relative term) of money on good equipment and high quality supplies. I am building a large shop on my property and have...

My LHBS is about a 1.5 hour round trip. Which isn't bad considering I live out in the boonies. I do however commute right by it every day but my problem is that I work graveyard so it's closed each direction. So I end up sitting in the parking lot for about an hour on my way home because I like...

And crisis averted. My neighbor owns a bar (which I totally forgot about) and my soon to be wife recommended I ask them if I can use some space in their beer fridge. They said yes.

We are doing a camping trip wedding and I am bringing my keezer. I will be keeping them in bins of ice so they are cold when I swap them out.

Brew day beers are the best.

I am brewing around 100 gallons of beer for my wedding in August so it's time to start brewing. The problem I am facing is that I do not have the space to store it with temp control. My long term aging chamber only holds 5 kegs. I can cold crash and carb in my fermenter and keezer but will have...

I mashed at 51 so that is also going to keep it light but my saving grace on this batch is the 9% crystal 20 I used. So I'm not worried about it finishing unpalatably dry. Just going to be drier than I had anticipated.

Holy crap! Imperial A24 Dry Hop is a beast! I figured I would try it out on my tropical blonde ale to accentuate the mosaic and galaxy I used. I was not expecting a 90+% attenuation. It’s only been 3 days and it’s dropped from 1.050 to 1.005 (I was shooting for 1.012) This is going to be a dry...

I think I'm paid up through march. I'm not to worried about it though. It's not expensive to begin with.

My tilts are in the mail and should be arriving any day now. Cant wait to get them up and going. I was originally going to use brew status but I'm happy to see brewers friend integrating them because I already use and love it. So one less thing to learn and pay for. lol
