So happy for you! Been there. There's quite a difference between just thinking you are employable and somebody saying, "We'd love to hire you. When can you start?"

Just mashed in on a Surly Bender clone at 4:30. My 10 gallon kettle is now in my oven which holds F 155. I'm going to my brother's for dinner. I'll get home around 11-12 and do the boiling/hops additions. Then I will put the kettle outside to cool overnight then add the vitality starter at the...

I've been using a Corona with a drill for 20+ years. Works fine.

I'm still waiting on two beers. My heart goes out to Hoppy and her travails this Christmas season. Whenever, or never, is fine with me; just take care of your home. I also haven't received the Lambic. Jerbrew says he got everything... maybe the 'porch pirate's' ripped me off. I've been...

What it that bladder thingy in the center of the picture?

OK.... that's what I was interested in. Oh well, what's the old saying? "You snooze, you lose." Thanks anyway.

Here's how I made my first lagers. Living in NY there are multiple months of outdoor lagering Temps. Instead of trying to cool beer in a warm house I heated beer in the great outdoors. I bought a new garbage pail, cut out two inch thick Styrofoam rounds to fit the bottom and top, lined the sides...

Understood. I was thinking of it as a type of 'salami'; cured by drying and ageing.

You just made that! It takes less than a week to be ready?

You are the man!

So far, so good!

Tripel... flavored/colored with saffron. Too much saffron, too little carbonation.

I get you're disappointed but I'd suggest relaxing a bit. I don't think people are going to care all that much. You gave it a shot, send it out, we'll drink it or we won't. No big deal. I sent out two different tripels... both barely carbonated. Folks can drink them or not. My plan is simply...

Made 3 spur of the moment extract brews. My pipeline is dry. Death Valley dry. Sahara desert dry. Empty. With these in the fermenters I can think about what's next.

Hey guys, Available or not? Don't want to appear pushy but I do want to plan my weekend schedule. Thanks.

I'll take both early Friday evening or Saturday if airborneguy can't make it. Grew up in Richmond Hill.

I want those ribs!!!

"Cleaned 6 kegs and my fermenter" Crap... I have five kegs to clean myself. Left them alone long enough some are probably crusty!

Congrats!!! First child... I remember it well. Enjoy this great time in your life. As for the beer.... Embrace the DME, you can make a fine pale ale in less time using it as a base. Another thing I do to save time (sort of) is I mash in before bed, stick my 10 gallon pot in my oven (it will...

I just had an awesome meal. Slow roasted duck legs roasting in extra duck fat, air frier sweet potatoes, and peas sautéed with pancetta and shallots. Of course, since I don't have a picture, none of this actually happened 😊
