Finished sanding with the orbital sander 80 grit, 150, then 220. Wiped it down with a tack cloth. Rubbed on Arm-R-Seal Gloss an oil/urethane mixture thinned down by about 20% with mineral spirits. Will probably do one coat per night for the next 5 or 6 nights to get a glossy finish and...

It's been a lot more work than I originally anticipated. Probably have around 30 hours invested so far. The majority of the hard labor is done, a ton of sanding ahead of me though. If it turns out half as cool as the picture in my head it will be worth it!

Been busy doing work around the house and brewing on the weekends but had some time this weekend to work on the bar. Got a lot done on the tap tower. May not look like much but had to make due with a chainsaw, jigsaw, drill and orbital sander. I used an orbital sander and 80 grit sand paper to...

Here's another great thread and the process I use for plating yeast: http://braukaiser.com/wiki/index.php?title=Growing_Yeast_from_a_Plate The best thing about plating is you can grow your yeast from a single cell and insure that you have pure yeast. Then from that group you can separate...

Wow just got done reading through both threads on the HT clone. Great work and thank you to everyone who has been posting and following up with results. I’ve never had the actual Heady before but can’t wait to try and clone it based on what I’ve heard. First things first I...

I'm a big fan of this glass. Spiegalau glasses are the ****. If you haven't done a side by side with a pint glass you don't know what you're missing. Not sure if I like this one better than their tulip yet as I haven't done a side by side yet. Not the most attractive glass but I like the handle...

Peanut Butter Nut Brown EKG (East Kent Goldings) 38 IBU 60min Strawberry Wheat EKG (East Kent Goldings) 19 IBU 60min I think any English variety would work in something like this though. Just enough to balance out the sweetness a bit. Definitely want malt / peanut butter / jelly flavor to...

Sorry I forgot to post back with results. The final beers turned out amazing. Most interesting beer I've ever tasted. It really did taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Not something you could sit and drink all night but perfect for a crowd pleaser at a party or beer festival. We took...

Update on the all mosaic pale ale. 8oz of mosaic late additions in a 5 gallon batch, 2.5 of that in dry hop. These were the whole hops from fresh hops. Really grassy/vegital until I pulled the dry hops from the keg. After that its slowly been getting better over the past 2 weeks. Mosaic...

$400 worth of wood :smack:

I went out and bought supplies on Friday to build the tap tower, bar top and siding. I bought the book matched cedar slab for the top. It’s 8’4” (going to cut it down to 8’ after attaching the slabs) 33” wide at the thinnest point and 47” wide at the widest point. The log is 20” tall and I’m...

I'm doing the same type of experiment currently and using a recipe similar to this recipe for zombie dust: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/3-floyds-zombie-dust-attempt-help-info-requested-245456/. Just pulled the dry hops for my Mosaic pale ale and my citra/amarillo pale ale tonight actually...

Here's a few pictures of the cedar that I plan to use for the top slab and siding...

After browsing all of the keezer and bar builds on the site for the past year or so I’ve decided to pull the trigger and finally build one. My favorite so far is definitely Hoppopotomus’s knotty pine keezer build https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/knotty-pine-cedar-log-keezer-build-223902/. The...
