    Any High Altitude Adjustments???

    I've brewed in California basically at sea level and now living at 6200ft south of Denver, I wonder if there are any adjustments I should make to accommodate the altitude? I'm a BIAB brewer that does 3 gallons batches.

    The [Horribly Unpopular] Soccer Thread

    I've been a Galaxy support from day 1. Watching Landon the past 8-9 seasons has been fun but I really think he's going to leave. He's done everything here except win the CONCACAF Champions League. I really expect him to go to Mexico. He'll make more money both in straight salary and also...

    My Lazy Brewing Plan

    I love to brew but having a wife, two kids playing sports, a job with a decent commute and a side business kinda gets in the way of my brewing hobby. I've been an extract brewer for about five years and have made some good beers and some okay ones. I want to make better beers so I am making a...

    The [Horribly Unpopular] Soccer Thread

    Can I get a link for the fantasy league? Also Donovan drops some hints at moving from LA. any guesses on where he might go if he actually does leave? With his contract up, LA will have to pony up some serious cash given Dempsey's deal.

    Who came up with the idea of Miller 64???

    Maybe when they say filler they literally mean filler like corn and rice they use to make their regular swill??? I sat with my mom in law's boyfriend who's a major d-bag at a bar in Green bay, Wisconsin one night having some brats and beers. He proceeded to tell me the New Glarus I was drinking...

    What's your occupation: Engineer or Non-Engineer

    Project manager but spent ten years designing plastics for consumer products. Would be a full time woodworker if I could afford it.

    My Fermentation Chamber Build

    Hey Ace, I've got a very similar chamber to yours. How are you measuring the temp? I've got the eBay controller and just got a long stainless hollow rod that goes into my airlock and down into the wort where I can install the probe to measure the temp. Haven't used it yet. I previously had a...

    Give it to me baby

    I've been to the Library Ale House in Santa Monica and I can assure they would not stand for that type of bait and switch. As some have suggested, instead of complaining about it, make it an opportunity to essentially own the chalkboard and beer menu. It sounds like your coworkers are too...

    Danstar munich wheat beer yeast?

    Why are you fermenting at 64 degrees? Hefe's do good up or above 70.

    Weissbier Simple Hefeweizen

    My wife loves a local microbrew's hefe that smells like banana bread. I'm going to use this recipe but bump the DME to 6# and ferment at about 72-74 degrees. SWMBO is actually going to brew it.

    Free AutoCAD-type software???

    Solid works is the best for parametric modeling. AutoCad is lightyears behind and ProE is way overkill for 99% of the engineering design work that is done.

    Saison BBD Saison Furtif

    I brought this to my company's homebrew festival last week. I wasn't sure how people would react to a nearly 10% beer which is like nothing they've ever had. Long story short, I ran out quickly and had a constant group of people looking for more. I had the CEO request I brew another batch and...

    Any online stores sell other than 1 & 3lb dme? Or German dme?

    Uh, actually it does say explicitly on their homepage. DMEmart.com not only offers quality Briess dry malt extract at an outstanding price, we ship it to your door free of charge using USPS Priority Mail, and it's tax free.

    Hops Ruined???

    I stupidly forgot to put a few ounces of pellet hops I bought yesterday in the fridge. They were in the garage and sitting out for about 24 hrs. The temps ranged from about 40 to 55. I'm planning on brewing Sunday with these but with not being refrigerated, are they ruined? The LBHS is 30...

    BYO's Method of Steeping Grains

    My LHBS recommends heating water to 160, putting the grains in and leaving for 1 hour. Charlie Papazian recommends a similar approach but only 30 min steeping. Whatever works...

    Fermentation Chamber with Unisar Hot/Cold Fridge?

    Okay, perfect. That's why I asked the question because I'm not too familiar with these cooling devices. I wasn't sure if I found something good or if I'll be better off picking up a small fridge from CL. Looks like the more certain path is to get a fridge from CL and build my chamber around...
