Ive found that using the San Diego water quality drinking report and supplementary mineral report in Bru'N water doesn't give me my desired results (but I've never gotten an analysis of what's coming out of my specific tap). Gonna spend that money towards an RO membrane instead. For now I...

If you can drink that you can drink anything!

I've never brewed a lot of beers that I like... In order of most immediate 1. Russian imperial stout -currently have the ingredients 2. doppelbock - finally got flask big enough for starter 3. Sour - at some point I'll do this when my brain has enough space to think it thru 🙄

My new nextdoor neighbor is growing ghost peppers as well as habanero, scotch bonnet and jalapenos. I share homebrew with him, looking forward to grilling wings in a while after the hot sauce is ready... 🍻☺️

I don't have access to hot tap water next to the brew rig. but I do have a hose nearby. I've rigged up my mash tun with a flexible diptube (part rigid part flexible), so I just bend it back and lift up the false bottom and pull it out and spray it all down with the hose. Then I run hot pbw and...

I'm sure it's been said 1,000 times, but after 3-6 beers, who can tell the difference between a blurry photo and a clear one.🍻😁

Interesting! Ss can rust. But do you know if it's SS or not? I had the chrome come off my first faucet fairly quickly and show the brass underneath. That got replaced.

Alas my ingredients in the brewery unused to brew oft is to me a season bemused for when the hops in boil begat I twas so nearly soiled, I sat and decided is time for some homebrews.

I'm planning to weld up a spreader bar in a few weeks with a stick welder (but the priority is the kettle stand). Will rig something up to better lift kegs and fermenters into my chest freezers. Shouldn't be too expensive at the orange big box store. Will let you know when I come up with a bill...

I used s-33 back in the day and don't remember being disappointed. I've had a few yeasts recently go a bit slower, but I just buy commercial beer until it's done...

This is really funny. My personal experience is my wife checks in when I'm out working in the brewery and after about 30seconds of my explaining, she starts to glaze over 🙄. I'm usually the one to have a a drive by innuendo comment when I check in on her "carpentry" hobby. I will point out...

My understanding is the clostridium bacteria tend to settle on sweet areas...so like areas on the cold side that can get infected, like ball valves. So you may have had this problem for a very long time, but when you're not kveiking it doesn't grow quickly enough to surpass the flavor...

If you're just looking for a particular flavor I'd try to do that with ingredients which you know how they'll work. I do make my cream ale with flaked maize, lactose and vanilla bean. It tastes awesome to me, but isnt for everyone. Is that what you're trying to achieve? Like a "cream soda" kinda...

For the kiddos: What color is a burp? -Burple What did the mommy cat say when she realized she had 10 babies? -Are you kitten me?!?

I judged Friday and even tho we inspected the fill and capping, it is not a scorable item. Only to give helpful feedback if there's some flaw in the beer as sometimes the beer can get damaged in transit (think high heat in truck or hard bump causes loss of cap seal). Sometimes the original beer...

Haha, possibly! My neighbor (who recently moved back) was from Maine and used to visit several times a year and would come back with an entire suitcase full of beer. AND share! Miss them, and not just cause of the beer exchange program!:yes:

Sounds like a good way to enjoy beer by the quart-et.

Well...some might really flame me for this, but I had heady topper "straight from the can" as it instructed me to and was not impressed. It was good, just didn't live up to the hype in my personal opinion. I've had other local IPAs that I like better, which may just be a preference thing or a...

Good on ya for keeping those priorities straight. Big praises to hear her recovery! Awesome!
