Here's the seasoned brisket... Last pic was just trimmed lolol

Here is a 9.92# brisket trimmed and seasoned, going on the Weber kettle at 7.2#. should be good for 8-10 hours at 225-250°. Using Kingsford charcoal briquettes and pecan wood on an 18" grill surface... Happy 4th of July e'erybody!

Waiting for the fourth of July when I'm off to smoke my second brisket! I only have an 18" Weber kettle grill so I got a smallish ten pound brisket from Sam's Club a couple months ago. These are dino ribs...

Hope to get in another brew day this weekend but Sunday I have a funeral so it may have to wait...

Currently I have 50# each of two row and pilsner malt, 5-10# each of Vienna, Munich and victory malts, 2-5# each of rice, wheat and oats, 1-2# of crystal malts 20-120L, assorted chocolate, black patent, special roast, etc... 8-16oz packs of vacuum sealed American, British and European hops for...

Good information as it's been quite a while since I've used a large amount of pilsner malt. I was under the impression that 90' boils were still advised for prevention of DMS formation but happily now know it's not nearly the issue (for multiple reasons) it used to be. On a side note, I boiled...

Just got my yeast starter going for tomorrow with wlp 810 (San Francisco lager)... I'll step it up in 12 hours

The Peter Green version of Fleetwood Mac put out a song that was ultimately covered by Judas Priest... The Green Manilishi (with the Two Pronged Crown) Phenomenal cover!

Planning to do ten gallons of Marzen, hopefully with American character via some domestic yeast and hops, but analogous to the German varieties... Lager yeast and low alpha acid hops.

Just bottled the amber ale from three weeks ago, OG- 1.054 and FG 1.009 for 5.9% abv... Also weighed out the grain bill for ten gallons of Marzen for next week's brew day 🤩

I get that, but my beer improved tremendously after I switched to all grain. Maybe I gave up on extract too soon 🤷

Going all grain was a light year ahead in terms of quality in my brews! I remember reading a quote on this site that said "You can brew good beer with extract. You can craft excellent beer with all grain." Also temp control for better fermentation... I only use a swamp cooler but it's a vast...

My favorites are pale ales and reds but my brother and I make a Westvleteren 12 clone that is simply amazing 😍 Made it 8-10 times and it's a home run every time!

Not brewing but definitely bottling the amber ale from three weeks ago! Then we'll get the recipe together for the brewing session the following weekend...

Just heard this! Insanely catchy and original IMHO

OMG I've seen this band three times live!! I love everything they've done, even the new music!

Brewed my first batch this year which means I had to wake up my yeasties after many months in the fridge. Decided on Denny's Fave (Wyeast 1450) and made a 2L starter that I stepped up 24 hours later by 1L. I saw very, VERY little action and wondered how viable the yeast were but decided to pitch...

One of my favorite lines of all time is from Gordon Lightfoot in "The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald" Nobody knows where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours
