    How have your thoughts on craft beer evolved?

    I was thinking today about my progression in the craft/homebrewing world. Specifically, I was thinking about really hoppy beers and the popularity of hop bombs etc. I really love a great IPA or IIPA. I've brewed some amazing hop centered beers and enjoy coming up with recipes that can highlight...

    Best beer store between Nashville and Sewanee?

    Frugal Macdoogal is near downtown, 701 division street. They've got a pretty good selection of craft beer. There's also a place at 1118 Halcyon Ave called the filling station. They fill growlers if that's your thing. Brewstogo.com is their web address. Down 24 in Murfreesboro is stones river...

    Haier HSL04WMAWW kegerator build

    As you can see, I moved the thermostat up and over the freezer box to get it out of the way. I'm still deciding whether or not to take it out completely and just plug the fridge into an STC-1000. From what I've read, you can just take the common and the hot wires that go to the thermostat...

    Haier HSL04WMAWW kegerator build

    Good day everyone. I have a Haier mini fridge that I was fortunate enough to acquire free from a friend. I just recently got into kegging and have somewhat audacious plans to build a bar around this eventually tricked out fridge. So I thought I'd start a new thread showing the process from...

    Bleaching my plastic buckets.

    Hmmm, I've normally done one tablespoon bleach to each gallon of water, but that's been for sanitization, not odor reduction. I've never really considered that faint beer odor as a bad thing, but then again, I wash my fermentors a few times before I use them again. By the second washing (I'm...

    I couldnt care less if my beer comes out clear

    I've found that my hazy beer gets clear as commercial if I let it chill in the fridge for a good while. Which is difficult of course, since I'm prone to drink what I've worked so hard for.

    First sip of my first brew!

    I don't have much to offer besides; 1. Let it sit awhile, that's usually the consensus, and 2. Congratulations! It will only get better from here.

    Star Trek or Star Wars?

    My wife just watched the first JJ Abrams star trek and loved it. Me; "Honey, you should watch TNG with me, it's just as good!" It has begun, MWAHAHAHAHAHA

    Liquid side tubing question

    Ah, just reading that a lot of HBT folks use a 1/4 barb with 3/16 tube. A bit snug but no problem. Off to the Internet to make my purchases, tally ho!

    Liquid side tubing question

    Here's what I plan on getting. Is what you're explaining compatible with this? Can you possibly send a link? I'm surprised I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem, since 3/16 line seems ubiquitous for the liquid side but no one sells an MFL disconnect with a 3/16 barb...

    Liquid side tubing question

    Just bought a couple corny kegs. I'm looking at getting flared disconnects, but they only come with 1/4 nuts connected to 1/4 barbs. I have an existing tap from a kegerator, which is sized for a 3/16 tube. And I only need 6ft, which only needs 3/16 tube. So how do I put a 3/16 tube on a 1/4 barb...

    Necessary to use secondary with lagering

    Interesting. I'm actually getting a few kegs today to start kegging my beer. When you lager in the keg are there any worries of pressure building? I mean, I guess if primary is done then you really don't have to worry about that huh?

    Necessary to use secondary with lagering

    Good day everyone. I've searched for an answer to this question but haven't found anything definitive yet. I have 10g of an octoberfest currently fermenting in two fermentors. It's at the proper temp, I plan on doing a diacetyl rest if necessary, then lagering at 35°F for 4-6 weeks. My question...

    Star Trek or Star Wars?

    I guess this is the problem I have with the originals. Just imagine this guy going up against Anakin from the first three episodes. Luke is supposed to be the chosen one, but Anakin was so badass. Well, the acting was terrible, but still the fight sequences were awesome. (Sorry, it's a mobile...

    Star Trek or Star Wars?

    Oh boy, here we go. The family and I had a lazy Sunday movie marathon yesterday, and we watched the first three episodes. We thought it would be a good idea to introduce the kids to the series from the beginning. So, as far as the first three episodes are concerned. The light saber battles are...

    American Amber Ale Red Rye Ale

    I noticed while looking at the actual website that the OP listed this as a 6 gallon batch. It didn't show up on the iPhone app. For those that brewed this per recipe, did you go with 6 gallons pre or post boil? I've got a 7.5 gallon kettle and I don't think I could pull off getting 6 gallons...

    Star Trek or Star Wars?

    I was watching some choice episodes of TNG last night on Hulu+. My wife asked if we could watch Star Wars instead. She asked, and I quote, "Isn't Star Trek just the ugly step sister to Star Wars?". I've never considered divorce before...

    What method do you use to create a recipe?

    I've got a good number of brews under my belt, and have plenty more planned. I find recipes in various places (here, books etc) and have enjoyed them all. But I'm curious how you all go about creating your own recipes. I've done that once, but only because I had some leftover malts and used them...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Jalapeno Cream Ale

    Thanks njporter. I actually brewed this yesterday per recipe with the exception that I did a 3 gallon. It was my second all grain batch. I was wondering though how long the peppers are in the secondary? It seems some have only left them in there a few days.
