Ok, I have not been on in a year or so but I have done some playing with RO systems. I have a 5 stage RO/DI system from Bulk Reef Supply, with the 150 GPD upgrade as I have a salt water tank and my tapwater is not drinkable. If you do decide to get an RO system consider a booster pump before the...

Welcome to HBT. Lots of good info here and the hours are better than most stores when you have a question. I reccomend Victors Grape Arbor on san mateo just north of I-40 if you feel like asking somone question in person. Cant say anything about the brewing club though sorry.

Linclon Lager is all could think of when I read this....

To the OP First congrats on making it past the 24 month mark. Not going to get into the whole should you or should you not debate thats not what we are here for. If brewing is not a trigger for you then I say go for it. Me I do drink what I brew but not verry much. I brew because I love...

Ok decision made, not sure if it will be my next brew but within the next 2 or 3 at the least will be a Rauchbier. Sampled the "Bonfire" from Sam Adams last night and was just about blown away. May be my past as a firefighter aka smokeeater but I just loved the strong smoke at the front, with...

verry rough lesson in thermodynamics, glad your not hurt.

mmmmmmmmmm all sounds good. Just picked up the Sam Adams harvest pack today will do some sampling this weekend and hopefully have an idea. If I dont like any of those I may give the APA a shot.

Ok prolly a stupid question but my primary has been empty for 3 weeks now and im jonesing for a little bubbling. So far I have made a Hefewizen that did not come out well at all, and an Irish red that if it is half as good carbed and conditioned as it was warm and flat at bottling will be the...

Just walked into the kitchen at work and saw a clear tub of granola on top of the fridge.... my first thought "I wonder if I could mash that?".... a year ago it would have been "mmmmm granolaaaaaaa aaaaggggggg....."

I mostly shop at Victors Grape Arbor in Albuquerque, Small place easy to get to prices are a little higher than buying on line but worth it to me. Grains are always fresh and no charge for milling. They do host classes every now and then but I have yet to be able to attend one due to work. The...

Update. Did a 1 gal batch with original dew instead of throwback a few months ago and is starting to clear now. Pulled a taste last week and is not good, thin no mouthfeel and no flavor. Think I will try this again as more of a malted beverage and see if I can get some flavor out of it.

I use a 6.5 gal bucket for primary (to cheap to by a carboy yet) to prevent the issue of the little hole in the airlock getting blocked when using a blowoff tube, I just put the tube into the grommit where the air lock goes. Its a tight fit but it works.

I dont care if thats what it is lol, between her and the fact that the guys at the other LHBS in town treated me like I was not worthy the one time I went in there this store has my business as long as they stay open. I even chose to spend the extra few dollars vs buying on the net most of the...

Since my Irish Red has been waiting in the primary for almost 5 weeks now I decided its time to bottle. My scrounging as of late has not had much sucess in turning up emptys to refill so I decided I would bite the bullet and purchase new bottles. Did the math before I left the house and...

Thats kind of what I was thinking, now an immersion chiller is a dif story from what ive read, but I have never used either so I have no credit here lol.

Um...... why? Is there really a reason to sanitize the inside of the chiller?

This is what happens when you RDWAIHAHB and type :drunk:

As a total noob Ill take ticket 164 thanks.
