    New idea to identify beer/tap lines

    I use different colored electrical tape for my beer lines. Some where the line attaches to the shank, and another where it attaches to the disconnect.

    Where did all the home brew stores go?

    A couple of years ago we had two LHBS, now we have none. The first was actually in a hardware store and closed when they lost their lease during the pandemic. The second closed last year. They opened a brewery in the shop four years ago and decided the remaining space was better utilized as more...

    Best names for your beer batch?

    I once brewed a Doppelbock and I had more issues during the brew day than I normally have in a year (to be fair I was also trying to watch a football game at the same time). I ended up calling that beer Exasperator.

    Finishing hydrometer

    I bought mine from William's Brewing but they don't list one at this time. Maybe you could ask them if they'll be getting any more.

    Don't Do That.

    I had a brew day like that once. I was more interested in watching a football game than brewing and everything went wrong. It was a Dopplebock so I ended up calling it Exasperator.

    Is "Christmas Ale" a Style?

    We were at the Kierstbier Fest in Essen, Belgium on Sunday. I believe the only requirements were that the beer had to be a seasonal release an it had to be brewed in Belgium. The beers were all over the board but most were pretty good. We had great time!

    Are Our Failures Really Failures?

    I brewed my German Pils earlier this year and inadvertently printed out a previous copy of the recipe using hops that had higher AA%. So it had smaller hop additions than what I should have added. The beer was fine as the grain bill and fermentation were what they should have been, it just...

    Where do you ferment your beers?

    I ferment everything in two beverage coolers in the basement. One of them does have a heat pad that I can use in the rare occasions that I need to ferment something at a warmer temp.

The closest on is currently in the process of closing, trying to get rid of their inventory. They were a large shop that reduced their footprint and opened...
