    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    got two lil 3 lb preseasoned pork shoulders and also a (not preseasoned) rack of pork spareribs. Stoked...haven't smoked in a few months! 🤘😆

    Stupid Joke Thread!

    11 is binary for three. I still laughed. 🤭🤪

    Greetings From The State Of Jefferson

    Cool! I think I may have read about that a while ago, but it's good to have a historical refresher. Welcome! Lots of good information here to help you *succeed*. And lots of grammar Nazis too. Jerks. 😉

    Another bad brew job, think I've learned my lesson...

    Definitely don't dump. I screwed up a still yet unknown aspect of my most recent double brew day... Had two sweet /twangy beers. I didn't dump them. I brought the kegs up to temp, swirled them and did a d-rest for a week at around 70F (or warmer). Then they've been "cold conditioning" in the...

    On why you should clean your pump

    I don't quite plan to aspire to the white bread standard that Peter Bouckaert has...but I try to keep it clean enough where my friends can look at my brewery while drinking my beer and not raise an eyebrow. Like you said the ultimate test is "does the beer taste good". I actually run pbw at the...

    Random Picture Thread

    oh man that's funny...I misread that as homophobes. I thought you were talking about the Garey Busey post... 😆

    NG conversion of GasOne 5250

    I have a needlevalve from tejassmokers.com that has an NG orifice size and allowed me to convert my bayou bg12 to NG. The needle valve is a 1/8 MNPT to 3/8” MGF (flare). I attached the hose to that and hang the hose permanently on my brew cart. When I'm ready to brew, I lock the casters, and...

    Hi Everyone!, what makes HB interesting for you?

    I enjoy frustrating hobbies...like golf and computers. Also the "free" beer at the end is nice 😁👍

    If you could only have 3 yeasts

    wlp835 - andechs strain wlp565 - DuPont strain wlp001 - California ale hard to start a complex sours program with just 3 yeasts...but I suppose I could always harvest from the air... 😁 actually I don't believe I've brewed with 835...just have had beer at andechs.

    New to hobby

    I've made a lot of cookies in my life...and brown sugar volume measurements vary dramatically based on how "packed" you tamp the scoop. I've primed with table sugar and it turned out fine.

    Basic Brewing Radio is a fav of mine, if you enjoy cheesy jokes like I do.

    Why Do I Want a Head on My Beer?

    I kinda like the fluffiness of it...when it's done properly it accentuates the mouthfeel I think (it's all about perception, and appearance informs our taste somewhat.) Just think about the difference in head between a munich dunkel, an oatmeal stout, and a Bavarian hefe. Agreed if you brew a...

    Safe Whirlpool temps

    sorry...I should have posted that in green...I was being facetious since 120 is closer to lacto territory

    Safe Whirlpool temps

    I think 165 would be fine. 120 is pushing it. ;)

    Picnic Taps. Am i A Bad person?

    Benefit to the picnics is they don't grow stuff since they're fully inside the cold zone. I have a couple SS...but am thinking of switching back... maybe I'll get a third keg and finally use that picnic tap I've had all these years to make biermunchers bottle filler...

    What I did for beer today

    stood in my garage staring at my brew rig until inspiration struck about my burner stand I built with black iron. it was "half baked" but I think my improvement I am planning will fully bake it!

    Do Perlick taps require special shanks?

    I'm not 100% sure, but I thought flow control taps need special shanks? Might fact check that...I know my intertap flow control tap has a different shank
