A Fat Tire clone sounds like a good idea. I didn't really consider the short shelf life of pale ales.... which kinda makes me sad because I like pale ales. Thats the downside of living in the south: summer is absolutely brutal and its always around. We get a week of fall, about a month of...

My current pipeline is as follows: Drinking: water Coffee Conditioning: Brown ale Fermenting: Porter Thats it. My next brew day should be next month some time. I'm aiming for one BD every month or two depending on how much beer I have on hand (I don't drink a whole lot and my wife prefers...

My youngest daughter and I made a Porter this (Saturday) morning. It was her first brew .... obviously since she's 11... and my second (all grain, I did extract many years ago) but everything went so much smoother this time and I am inclined to attribute that to having an awesome helper more so...

Well I was going to design some labels for my brown ale tonight, but it seems now that my plans have changed.

Thanks!

“Simon’s swan dive” Naming this is fun…

This describes my situation…and opinion succinctly. I just wanted to be sure it wasn’t gonna hurt nuffin.

“Theodore’s last hurrah Bitter ale” ? That is nuts, I feel like you moved into “stew” territory once you added a chipmunk….

Hot side. I don’t think there’s any way to get any in there after fermentation. …I’m probably wrong though because my cold side setup is pretty low tech as of right now.

I just finished cleaning up from making a porter. My youngest daughter got up early to help and she absolutely rocked it! We hit all of our numbers and everything went smoothly. The only hiccup was me burning myself on the metal recirculation thingie while getting a wort sample like a big...

Oh, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. The wife hasn't nixed my brewing indoors yet, but I'm only about to start my second AG brew (extract didn't seem to have as strong of a smell). I doubt she will since it was sort of her idea for me to go with an AIO system instead of propane...

My youngest would probably try to move in with you just so she could hug your doggos... We have a Dachshund/ lab mix (she does most of the shedding) and a Doberman (the goofball in my avatar). I considered getting a BMD a while back, but we live in the (deeeeeep) south and summer is brutal, I...

Nah, the dogs are pretty well behaved, so they get free reign of the house....hence the dog hair lol. But (on topic and my silliness aside) I might be able to brew in the garage because the dogs don't go in there often. its just cold out there, there's no water and I would have to clean the...

what's a "dog free space?" you mean like at work? Sorry.... I have velcro dogs, they're always nearby.... whether we like it or not. I could brew in the garage but there's no water out there (the hose is about 60' away) which is my main reason for brewing in the laundry room.

Geez... I have two: the smaller of the two being the major contributor of the shedding and the big dog doesn't shed a whole lot.... he's just a big ole dog and contributes primarily by size. I can't imagine having three, all with long hair ....actually... .... yeah...I can and it kinda sounds...

Welcome from Mississippi.

I got everything cleaned, weighed out, set up and ready for a porter when my youngest wakes up (she likes to help). I got to set the delay timer on my anvil foundry, it seems like a neat feature and I suppose we'll see how it goes, along with applying what I learned and figured out on my last...

I just finished cleaning/prepping for my brew day and while doing so I introduced, by way of being a big dummy, a good bit of dog hair into my equipment which made a "quick" 30 minute clean turn into an hour and a half. We have dogs and hardwood/tile floors, dogs have fur, and it seems that no...

Welcome aboard from Mississippi! ....I thought y'all said "howdy"....

This is Finn, he is the goodest boy. ...most of the time.
