Maybe it's a regional thing - I'm from north-central Montana, where the deer, angus-cross cattle and gophers outnumber the people on any given day, by far. When your friend, neighbor or relative offers you a beer, you take the beer, you thank him for the beer and you drink the beer, whether it's...

Some great stuff, there ~ :mug:

The moment the phrase "lowest common denominator" gets thrown around, then snob territory has probably been entered, even if unintentionally.

I'll probably get one eventually, the next time there is a promotion or sale. It makes pretty good sense. :mug:

Hello - I'm set to keg my second batch of beer with the uKeg, a Belgian Blonde infused with chamomile: For the first beer I kegged with it (shown in my post above), I kegged it according to these instructions: https://brooklynbrewshop.com/pages/growlerwerks-ukeg As far as I know, I did...

If I may be so bold: all-grain brewing does not require a single bell or whistle. Fundamentals matter.

My suggestion will probably not be popular, but I'll give it anyway: I think that you should strip it down to some fundamentals as far as the basic steps of all-grain brewing go, including how they relate to and interact with each other. Get familiar with each step of the process, to the point...

Cream Puff Cake I am posting this because The Beautiful Mrs. Tas wants me to make it, and I have a very hard time saying "no" to her.

It might be time to bring this back up to the top....

My next brew will be a repeat of this brew; I hope to brew it early this week; next weekend at the latest. I have toyed with the idea of adding something to the brew; current ideas are chokecherries, wild prairie rosehips and raspberries. In all honesty, I will probably add nothing, as this...

I made a dandelion gruit once, with dandelion leaves providing the bitterness, instead of the hops. It turned out great.

I miss T-locks. They were perfect for windy, north-central Montana. :(
