It's been a whirlwind year and I moved from SoCal to Portland, OR. I just did my first AG batch, but not on this setup. I think having a homebrew gravity or pump fed system is in my future, but I have some spatial constraints at the new place and so it doesnt look like I will have this going...

I appreciate the kind words, Subsailor. The wort tastes amazing, so I have high hopes that the bottles will turn out perfect. This is going to be for the first thirsty thursday in december at my work place. It's the first thursday of every month where they bring kegs around to our work...

Just picked up a sixer and cracked one open tonight. It's a great beer! I finished off the 2010's I had around November of the same year. I don't think I will be able to hold any beer for more than 8 or 9 months :( Location found: Whole Foods in El Segundo, CA 90245

2011 OG Classic and Belgo released I believe on Feb 14th? I bought two of each so I can drink one set now and cellar the other set for next year. I will re-post after I try them and let you guys know. The sublimely self righteous was poured last night instead of the OG.. that stuff is AMAZING!

Well, I mean the bedframe is made of steel so it should hold up pretty well s long as I measure correctly and make sure the welds are nicely beaded. The steel itself is strong enough to hold a mattress and at least 2 people (maybe more if you are into that kind of thing) so it should be able to...

LOL When I went to pick up the brew kettle it was 60QT! 15gal SS made in the USA for $30.. not bad, eh?

Above is the link on youtube to build a brew stand out of a used bed frame. I will be pretty much copying what they did.

This is actually a process in the works, but here is what I have so far. This is all coming from craigslist or friends to build it on the cheap cheaps. Parts: 1 x 7.5gal SS boil kettle ($30 crraigslist) 1 x 30qt Aluminum kettle for Sparge water (free) 1 x 48qt Igloo Cooler for Mash Tun...

I can confirm that AB/DB uses all Chinook from sources which are very reliable. (I was @ the Stone brewery this past weekend) I saw some recipes using 2-3 different types of hop additions which may still taste good, but may just be making the bill higher. I plan on getting an AB tribute going...

I'm new to brewing, but I would probably only strain during the racking process to bottling bucket. Do you want to strain to avoid particles in your siphon/beer filling gear or are you trying to get clear beer? Perhaps some of the seasoned HB's can tell us if straining from boil to primary will...

Thanks guys I will go with a 7gal or 8gal stock pot in the near future. I will do a few more partial boils with this 3.5gal pot. Not going to attempt the TTS method either. Cheers, Russ

I only have a 3.5 gal ceramic stock pot so I was thinking of doing 2.5gal wort with half the ingredients, transfer to carboy and plug it, then do another 2.5gal wort with the other half of the ingredients and add it to complete the 5gal of wort I will need then go normal from there with yeast...

If anyone does a DFH clone from extract of any variety I would love to know how it turns out! *bump*

Haha, no I did not find your wallet, but if I do you have to trade me a beer for it!

The first one I opened had enough carbonation to kick up particles from the bottom which I just did nto expect. This was after only 3 days of being in the bottle. I had expected a small hiss, a few bubbles, but nothing more than that. After hours of reading I have come to the conclusion that...

In this post I will explain my first time brewing process and point out where I made mistakes. First Step: Sanitized everything with Star San (primary bucket, siphon, brew kettle, stirring spoon, etc) Recipe: 6.6lbs Golden Light LME 2oz Challenger hops 2oz Cascade hops Safale-05 Dry...
