Hi HBT, My first time brewing a watermelon beer this Wednesday. I hear that watermelon can be tricky to do right. However I brewed a light beer using only mosaic hops and told my buddy it was my watermelon beer just as a joke, but he actually believed me and thought it was great. I'm going to...

I love to DIY and my neighbor was tossing what appears to be a large/tall water filter. My only question is: I can fill this with hops/etc and just suspend in the boil, or would you maybe wrap or ziptie it with cheesecloth or something? It appears to be perfect for my test batch kettle which is...

Hi everyone, I'm done replacing the boards on my porch, and I have 3 things left over from the project: Wood, bourbon and a recipe for my cupcake stout. Exactly, a bourbon barrel aged stout, so why invent the wheel when I've already got what I need to just make it. Can someone please outline or...

Hi everyone This isn’t about brewing but as I am quite busy with a brewery project and also not good with typing, I use speech to text both to post on forum here, to write emails and texts, and many times to voice control my computer applications. The package I got from Amazon doesn’t seem to...

Hi Al here at HBT. I'm wandering if anyone has heard of a movie that may have premiered as recently as one month ago. I believe it was in Las Vegas or Reno area. A closed and private screening but as I'm told several hundred people were in attendance. The movie may have starred Kato Kaelin and...

I just had a buddy bring me some Half Acre Vallejo. He got it at the brewery I think in Michigan. Drove back with a trunk load of their beers. This was maybe 6 months back and he gave them all away and whatnot, I thought there was no chance I'd be able to try it. So we are in his car and we get...

I have a funny story from last night. So I'm on a road trip with some friends. We went to Bismark picked them all up, went to the airport and flew to Las Vegas where I'm actually at for the next day. Ouch, says my wallet! So I'm killing time before dinner at the bar and this guy's next to me...

Hi home brew talkers In my first ever homebrewed stout my recipe called for a certain percentage points of flaked oats and I've learned this is for things like giving head, body, and mouth feel to your recipe, but I'm confused as to why wheat or carapils seem to do these same things, and how...

Hi, new to brewing here. Got a lot of equipment handed down to me, but realizing not a capper, and have a 20 gallon stout fermenting right now. I want to enter a competition so need to bottle but 20 gallons looks like over 210 bottles! I was shocked and acrtually had to check the math on a...

Hi, sorry but need to ask... how would one thoroughly clean a brew pot that has been accidentally pumped full of sewage? Our first brew session with the new equipment and we experienced a problem with the punk hooked wrong and experienced what I believe is called suck back where the waste from...

New to brewing here, but have lots of equipment to do all grain and going to do it but not your typical brew i'm thinking to try things that take it next level. My cousin works at a factory and has access to bad cupcakes, not bad for your health just didn't make the cut, maybe the frosting is on...

Hi, I'm new to the site. I'm Mel from North Dakota. My grandfather in Illinois was planning a brewery and purchased all equipment but passed away and I've been given his stuff. I don't even know what most of it is but several large tanks i assume for bubbling the beer and sump pumps and computer...
