Good advice. I made this mistake too.

Samuel Smith Winter Welcome Clone.

This is funny. I am south Florida born and raised, and I was just thinking ... This global warming thing is finally paying off!

I made a 50' wort chiller, and of the items I bought, I thought the price of the hose adapter was the most ridiculous. 50' of soft copper from the local plumbing supply house was $35.

I am not a beer snob, but I have to say that Bud Light is the worst beer on the market.

My point was, sometimes advertising is just advertising.

Could you make a spiced vodka by steeping the spices in the alcohol and then add it to the keg to taste? I wound up doing the above just to try it. It worked out great. I made a spiced vodka with the spices that I would have added to the boil, and I brewed the ale to compliment them. When I...

I actually did the one gallon all grain BIAB before I did 5 gallon extract batches, then went back to 3 gallon BIAB (mainly because, in my case, I thought the one gallon grain batches were better beers than the extracts) and now 5 gallon MT/HLT batches. What I learned is that it takes the about...

Most of the time, not including club levels and other special access areas, they are the only two beers on tap. So yes, people pay.

Guess I should move to Oregon...

Yes! My Samuel Smiths Winter Welcome clone is just waiting on an empty keg.

Good idea to use the oven.

dOne gallon batches I have done were Brew in a Bag, and I just mashed on the stove top while minding the temperature. I have also hit strike temp and mashed BIAB in the brew kettle wrapped in a comforter. Only lost two degrees in an hour and I didn't have to babysit it. BIAB saves time (no...

If they were ever there to begin with...

You can eyeball it and get decent results, but if you really want to be certain about your measurements, you can also get a small digital scale from Harbor Freight for about $6. In my experience, small adjustments or mis-measurements have a much larger impact when brewing a 1 gallon batch.

Nope. $10 Bud and Bud Light is the norm at sporting events.

If the hops are vacuum packed with an inert gas and unopened, then I have a tough time believing that there is much of a benefit to keeping them stored in the freezer. If they are opened, then yeah, the freezer will most likely extend their useful life.

Ok. Best of luck to you in opening your pub! Depending upon where that bar is located (airport, fancy shopping district, etc.), those prices seem too far out of line. Well, no more than beer prices in general which are ridiculous across the board. Heck, if you go to a football game in the...

I asked Santa for a 15 gallon brew kettle.

Dollar to Euro exchange is almost even nowadays, so you a talking $10 to $12 for a pint. I imagine their taxes are higher, duty to import it ... etc. Those beers are selling for $6.50 and $7 a pint here, so $10 or $13 seems about right. I have seen plenty of 750 ml sized bottles here...
