Can't beat a vacation day. Smoking 6 lbs of sausage and making 10 gallons of pale ale. Got the sports talk radio going, it's in the high 50's, I'm enjoying a sampling of home brews.... Life is good.

Would like to do an IPA with 4 of the C hops and call it C4. I am happy with the grain bill but would like some help with the hops. I'm thinking Cascade, Centennial, CTZ, Citra. Any input on the grain bill or scheduling the hops would be great. Which combination would make the most sense for...

Not sure what's going on. Here's the story; I've brewed a ton of successful beers. Stouts, porters, pale ales, cream ales, IPAs, blondes. I've had 2 blondes and a wheat that have had a slight bandaid/medicine taste and smell. Recipe and process below. 1st blonde: BMs centennial blonde. 5...

Now I know it's all subjective and your own tastes matter but.... I am not real experienced with hop combinations. I have mostly used cascade and centennial. I made an all Amarillo pale ale (basically BM's Summit pale ale and used Amarillo). What would be a good dry hop complement? I have...

I have never taken a sample with my thief, I always just carefully set the hydrometer in the bucket and call it good. Been doing it for a couple years and have never had an issue. I figure it's simple to wipe off the glass hydrometer and shoot it with a little starsan rather than trying to...

http://www.micromatic.com/branded-beer-tap-handles/4-inch-bod-branding-on-demand-tap-handle-c100-4 Pretty neat little tap handles. Cheap and you can interchange logos as you put different brews on tap. Nothing fancy but thought someone who wants to label their taps and is looking for an...

I'm going to remodel this spring so I thought I might get some ideas and see what other folks have. My brew space is the garage. The vehicles are only allowed when there is hail in the forecast (twice in 3 years). It's not only brew gear in here but pretty much. All my brew stuff is in here...

I made a starter 7 days ago. Plans changed and I won't be able to use it for a few weeks. I boiled up some mason jars to sanitize them. My plan was to decant the starter, dump the yeast slurry into jars and top off with the boiled water. I would then use the slurry to make a new 1 step...

Helped our neighbor's caretaker blow leaves the other day. She's 80 and only speaks German but was trying thank the wife and I. She brought out a Bud for me. I was already drinking a spotted cow so she set it by the tree. She got tired and went in the house while we finished up so I threw it...

Friendly reminder from your neighborhood moron, check your fittings. I have 1 primary and 2 secondary regs. Primary at 30 for carbing and the other set to match the styles on tap (2 on one 3 on the other). The tee on my primary had a small leak last time I burst carbed and I was sure it was...

Just finished reading HBT for the evening, put the IPad away to go brush my teeth and go to bed. Came back in the bedroom and the TV was on history channel. They happened to be showing a cave opening that leads to a mine shaft.....my first thought; it'd be cool to have something like that to...

Is there that big of a difference using Maris Otter vs using Rahr 2row? I would think if there are adjuncts and/or lots of hops you would miss the nuance and benefit if there is one. I haven't used it before that I can remember. Can someone tell me what I am missing by using plain 2 row...

I seen a post by 'busknuckle' and I thought "what the hell does that mean"!!! I see a lot of creative user names, what do they all mean? Some people seem to put some real thought in them, some are like me! Soooooo... What do your use names mean? Mine is just the family nickname. Mueller =...

I'm looking for some helpful apps for the iPad/iPhone or android mobile devices. There are already a smattering of threads about this, but I thought maybe we could put together a comprehensive list in one place so people can find them easily. If everyone can list what apps they have and a short...

Two Craft Brewers From South, West Coast to Set Up Shop in Chicago http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/inc-well/Two-New-Craft-Beers-Head-to-Chicago-297135311.html Recommendations? Do recall trying any of their stuff off the top of my head. Muels Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Got a second chugger pump for my brew stand and while installing it I dropped the dang thing. Caught it against the workbench with my leg and it only fell free for about 10 inches. It was still enough to dent the back. Had to take it all part and straighten the cover and housing because the...

Anyone know where I can find a set of the orange, snap on clips for the side of the STC-1000? I took mine off while I was rednecking it and now I can't find them. Thought I might put it in a box and make it all pretty. Tried in the DIY section but responses are pretty slow over there. Thanks...
