    Dog Treats

    I used same recipe with the addition of pumpkin purée. Out of 5 dogs I’ve never observed gas or squirts. Just be sensible about amount you give the pooch, and make especially sure they are dried out if you store them in an airtight container. They will get moldy if not dried out and stored in...

    No Screw Ups

    I did similar. My “cords” come straight out of auxiliary panel because I needed it to be modular, as I don’t know how long I will be in my current place, and wanted to be able to remove it all and take it with me. I have 2 L6 30 cords and receptacle in in use box enclosure, and a separate 110v...

    What was your biggest mess up when doing a homebrew??

    Once pumped 15 gallons from the mash tun to the boil kettle. The boil kettle still had the valve open. I had started transfer then went inside to do something. Came out to probably around 8 gallons of wort on the ground. Thank goodness I was outside. Still gutted, but if I would been indoors it...

    Anyone completely self sufficient?

    I took a break fro a couple years from brewing, I was sufficient before then. I am about 3-4 weeks out now from being self sufficient again. The only beer at home that is not Homebrew will be “special” beers. Rare beers, trade beers, limited release, that type of stuff. Other than that I have...

    Home brewery floor plan

    Is 9x9 a room or just the area you could eek out? Do you have 1 wall, 2 walls, 3 walls or 4 you are working with? I assume 5 gallon batches and propane? Until you get pumps you would probably be best served with a gravity system. There are plenty of builds on here. Just search for gravity...

    Show us your home brewery/brewspace

    This is my work in progress. Moving from a 20 gallon outdoor setup. Outdoors was fine at first, because I had friends and brew buddies that were always stopping over to help. Toward the end it was most often just the wife and I, which was a lot of work to unpack, brew, clean, pack up, then haul...

    I made a Zombie Dust clone using 2 year old yeast!

    I have no doubt that the mixture that came out will be different than the mixture that was put in to storage. My only hope is it is a close approximation. That is part of the reason I am making the “original recipe” from dregs again. Who knows which of the various yeasts survived that long I’m...

    I made a Zombie Dust clone using 2 year old yeast!

    I just grew a 3yr + old saison blend that I used to use for my house Saisons. It’s in the fridge now, haven’t brewed with it. Took about a week of steps to get it back, but when I put it in the fridge it was fermenting aggressively. It’s a blend of many commercial Saisons that I bottled...

    Basement eBrewery and Fermentation

    Ambient heat exchange (as in a wine cellar type set up) is going to be the least efficient. With 30 gallon set up, you will either need a large fermenter or multiple smaller ones. With a little bit of leg work, and possibly minor modifications, you could probably find a single large fermenter...

    5 gallons of a simple saison. 462.5 + 5 = 467.5

    Other hobbies ?

    I want to get in to cheese making next, as soon as things quiet down a bit. After that I wanted to get in to repairing some Of my grandfathers cuckoo clocks. He had about a dozen of them. Seems like it would be therapeutic

    Commercial Kegerator

    i Don’t know how soon your timeframe is, or if Richmond is outside of your travel area, but if you are patient you can keep snooping RCI. They are restaurant liquidators. No current auction. Richmond area is one of the slower locations. Can usually get some pretty smoking deals on commercial...
