I'm a little confused, are you in some sort of public garage? Or does it just not have a lock? Or was it your kids (if you have any) or someone who lives with you? If someone broke into your garage, I'd be more concerned that they broke into your garage than them stealing a bottle of...

4 Peaks is the best brewery in the valley in my opinion. All the beers are great and the food is fantastic here. After 4 peaks I would check out Papago. Not only do they have their beers. They also have a ton of freezers full of other breweries craft beers (bottles) which you can drink there...

I just use RO ice straight into the bucket to fill up the 2-3 gallons that were not boiled in the initial wert. Haven't had a problem so far.

I brew in Phoenix. And what I do is for the 2-3 gallons I need to fill in the fermenting bucket, I just use Ice instead. if you live in the valley you more than likely are using RO water to brew. Ice from Water and Ice places are RO as well. Dumping the ice directly in the bucket usually gets...

The overall idea is awesome, and though it could use some work, it doesn't look bad either. I like it, good job.

I got a handlebar mustache going on. But I wish I could grow a full beard lol.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Yeah I've been struggling a bit with the actual names being in the background. I'm thinking I will more than likely end up doing a back label as well, where the name of the beer plus all the information will be more prevalent. Having it on the back label...

Just purchased the ingredients for a cascadian dark ale. Will hopefully brew tomorrow if not next weekend for sure.

Solanum Brewing. My brand is zombie themed. I have some labels in that big label thread as well.

Brewery - Cervezeria Good Beer: Buena Cerveza/Cerveza Buena Honestly I wouldn't know how to say Microbrew or Craft Beer in spanish, The places in Mexico I am familiar with don't have any. You could try asking for "special" beers: Cerveza's especiales. Unique beers: Cerveza's unicas...

Solanum Brewing. Named after the fictional zombie virus from Max Brooks series of books. All the branding will be zombie related pretty much.

Correct. Jefe de Hefes And thank you for the positive feedback =]

Heres what I have for my brand so far. Still not finalized but I thought I would share. Logo: Hefeweizen Label: IPA Label: Bottle hanger for special beers: And a comp so you can get a better idea of what the bottle will look like: So far most folks I show this to have...

I recently started brewing, about 3-4 months ago so I am far from perfecting my own recipes. However I am a graphic designer for a living, so my brand will be built before my recipes ha! I set up http://www.solanumbrew.com but only have a landing page so far. I have been working on labels...

I used to never get hang overs when I was younger. Now though, I seem to get them all the time. Even if I didn't drink much. Feels bad man.

I guess it depends where you live. All the ice I purchase is RO. I also use RO water anyways to brew period cause the water where I live blows. Obviously I check for for tears before I purchase. A friend of mine who has been home brewing for years told me of this technique. His homebrew is...

Why not just use regular ice? It's something like 8lbs of ice = 1 gallon of water. Pour the wert on top of some ice, you can add a little more to get your total bucket to 5 gallons. It cools my wert down to a good temp in no more than 15 minutes.

I'm planning on making a Banana Hefeweizen next. From my understanding I think I need to boil and mush up the bananas then place them into the primary fermenter. I've always thought you need to ferment with the fruit as apposed to adding it in the wert. But I'm still a novice at brewing so I...

Thanks for the responses. My controller does have an anti short cycle feature on it. But if it's taking longer to turn back on, wouldn't the freezer warm up as apposed to cool down? That's what doesn't make much sense to me. I'll try the styrofoam thing tonight when I get home. As well as...

First off, hello everyone. I've been lurking here a bit but haven't really posted. I'm still new to homebrewing, barely on our third batch. And I recently purchased a freezer and a temp controller (for fermenting but will also turn it into a keezer soon). Anyways so I'm at work right now so...
