I'm from Neenah way back when. Live near Charlotte now. WI seems to me a right proper place for a home brewer to call home. Welcome.

Welcome. I just started myself. Once I decided I was going to do a home brew, I did a ton of reading. This site provided nearly all the material I needed. YouTube vids on home brewing also helped a ton. I decided personally to do extract brewing with some steeping grains. I did not buy a...

+1. Good craft beer will bring craft beer fans and wannabes in. Excellent food with fresh ingredients will bring everyone else back repeatedly, and that is the key to any service business. Watch a couple seasons of Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. What you serve is almost immaterial if you do...

Newb question #8456... Something I'm not clear on, will the effectiveness of bittering hops added at the start of the boil be impacted by adding a bunch of LME and some DME at the end of the boil?

Guinness Black Lager for the first time.

New Belgium Snow Day Winter Ale. Dark, nice hoppy aroma, 6.2%... Certainly there are worse ways to end the day, apparently Sam Adams Winter among them.

American Brown Ale on Saturday just as soon as my first batch ever is bottled and I get everything cleaned up.

Newb from the Charlotte area. Needed a new vice after tiring of online games. Narrowed it to brewing or motorcycles and let the wife pick, so here I am. 2012 Harley Night Rod wasn't in the cards. Picked up a Belgian Abbey kit from Homebrewers Outpost and that will go into bottles on...
