The Mississippi legislature did away with another archaic "blue" law today. Mississippi craft breweries will be able to sell directly to the consumers, as well as open up taprooms. It's a great day here. :mug:

I've been brewing for over a year now. My third brew in May 2015 was a huge monster of a stout. I didn't make a starter and only fermented a month before bottling. I've been opening the beers a few at a time and making notes of the changes every couple months. It was almost undrinkable for a...

I know beer snobs, craft aficionados, and home brewers have a distaste for the big three. I just wonder if this translates to the at home distiller, the backbone of NASCAR. (I have no knowledge regarding the legality of your craft). Do you harbor a dislike for things like Jack Daniels etc?

Last night my wife and I were watching tv and she asked if I was going to brew Saturday. I said I can if she doesn't have something planned. Her response was "I am really behind on my tv shows and need to binge watch shows you hate on the big screen". I'm off to the LHBS tomorrow. I hope she...

I am new to homebrew, I have four batches under my belt. I recently tried two "world class" rated IPAs according to Beer Advocate. Jai Alai IPA and Titan IPA. They were delicious, but I think my homebrew is better. Am I delirious or do I have a case of I did it my self so it is better to me...

I love this show. Every time I watch it I get an itch to try a batch of mead. Then I see how long the conditioning time for mead is and think "I could totally conquer a whole new world in that time frame". How in the hell did our ancestors drink so damn much. It seems like they spent equal time...

Bottled a beer the other day and halfway through I cut the spigot off, put the bottling wand in a bowl of starsan and had a smoke break. Came back in and finished bottling. Today my wife told me that while I was out side my new puppy started chewing on the bottling wand. She said she took it...

Bottling day got a late start and SWMBO got home early. Was told that I could (have to) install the sink and cabinets in the garage I've been wanting and vacate her kitchen immediately after bottling.

I'm on my third brew and my two previous were both racked into a carboy after primary fermentation slowed to less than a bubble a minute(shoot me for not have a hydrometer yet, I know I need one). The first two beers turned out great. But I've been reading and hearing that the secondary...

I brewed a IPA 6 days ago. Pitched rehydrated BRY-96. Fermentation started in under 24 hours and the airlock was rolling for a couple days and stopped. I went to rack to secondary this morning and was getting a bubble ever couple of seconds. Temperature has been a steady 68f. Is this normal...
