I manage a paint store, paint strainers are one of a couple things that I have adopted from work into my brew day. We sell 3 packs of commercial paint pump inlet strainer bags. They are nylon bags about 6" by 8" with a drawstring and I use them for hop bags. We also sell a different style of...

I'm in Thanks

I would brew this again for sure very drinkable at two weeks, it might be a while because my brewing resolution this year is to explore pale ales so a lot of pale ales are planned first. I can't wait to see what it does with another couple weeks of aging. All around I think the hops give you...

Farmhouse had a sale on hops and I picked up 4oz of Zythos for under $4 and threw this together with what was in the pantry. After two weeks in the bottle its still a bit green but quite drinkinable even now. Thought I would share for anyone considering this hop blend. Ingredients...

I attempted something like this here is the link. I remember the midnight wheat not being overly roasty but enough so that the corriander and orange peel needs to be up'd a bit. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/black-wit-anyone-ever-make-one-252916/

I wanted a bench capper but didn't like what I was seeing with all the plastic on modern ones and went to look for old solid metal one. I found this on eBay for $20 with the shipping. I don't know how old it is but I googled the patent number and it was issued on July 4, 1922. Here are some...

I've made stout cupcakes with crushed up pretzels for the SWMBOs bday that got rave review. I put a bottle of stout in my chili. Last night the SWMBO made beer cheese soup with some pale ale.

I grew one out for November and the SWMBO has fallen in love with it. I have brewed a considerable amount of been in November non is ready quite yet but I feel they will all be brews. On another note we toured New Belgium and O'dell a couple weeks ago and that was by far one of the highest...

The weatherman was right and I'm out back in shorts and sandals on December 2nd. Wheat stout today. Hopefully a vanilla porter tomorrow.

Can you send some of that water this way? They are predicting record lows on the Mississippi. Not good for the local shipping industry.

No brewing in the basement. With no garage my walkout basement does double duty and has way to much stuff in it. I also don't have a good way to ventilate.

They are calling for 60s this weekend (in Missouri) and I'm off Sunday and Monday. I just bottled 10 gallons this past Monday and another batch is waiting on a keg to blow so my pipeline is basically empty. I just need to decide between German pils Wheat stout or Bourbon vanilla porter I...

Anyone else have any comments on the recipe or they zythos hops? I've learned enough about yeast for now.

Picked up some Zythos blend hops and was looking to make a Pale Ale to showcase them with what I have in my inventory. I have some Chinook in the freezer so I was going to use that to bitter and Zythos for aroma and dry hop. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks. Recipe Specifications...

Picked up one of these on sale from harbor freight and added some drawer organizers for all my small brew day stuff. I just toss pots, chillers, bucket sanitizer on the bottom. When not in use I put a tarp over it to keep off dust and cats. I even rigged an 13" tv and a DVD player to have a...

I'm in

Well seeing as it was at least four months from my last SW I think it was definitely on the right track. The SWMBO also thought it was damn goo and close I'm going to make it again soon. It's a good IPA IMHO.

This is the basic recipe I used for version one with a few small changes. I used 10 pounds instead of 10.5 because my lbhs sold 10lb bags. I also used flaked wheat because I misread the recipe but it worked out nice. The beer has great head retention. This is to this day still one of my...

I have made two versions based on the suggestions here. I will try and remember to post the recipes tonight when I get off work. The first version I made was better than the second. While I thought they were both good IPA's it had been six months for version one and over a year for version two...
