    Fav hop combos for a pale ale?

    This is my go-to as well, partly because I love the citrus, and partly because I bought a pound of each. :D I also like to dry hop an ounce of Citra in my house pale ale.

    House Bill 500 - NC Freedom

    This law probably doesn't affect many craft breweries in NC. NoDa and OMB are two of the larger craft breweries that aren't already under contract with a distributor. Upping this cap too far will allow the larger guys (Sierra Nevada, Oskar Dale's) to self-distribute and put more of the little...

    Help me go all-grain for $100

    The grain was crushed by AIH. I thought it looked pretty good, but getting my own mill is definitely on my list, right behind getting a non-janky thermometer.

    Help me go all-grain for $100

    Just thought I'd update this in case anyone is curious. I was able to purchase a 52qt Coleman Xtreme cooler, 48' braided supply line, tubing, and a nylon valve for $48. I picked up a 25' wort chiller from AIH for $50 shipped, meaning I came in under budget. SWMBO was so impressed that she...

    Bottle Prep Prior to Brewing

    I do the same thing when bottling. I also don't bother to completely fill the bottle with starsan. If you let it float on its side and then spin it, you'll get it adequately sanitized. I also recommend using a dishwasher and/or dish drain for staging sanitized bottles. Once I figured...

    It's 35 quarts, and I've used it twice - once for a turkey breast, and once for chicken wings.

    Help me go all-grain for $100

    I currently do partial boil (usually partial, mash partial boil) brews in a 4 gallon pot on my glass cooktop, and I have decided that I would like to make the jump to all-grain. I have $100 cash that I got as a Christmas present to get me there. I already have a turkey fryer with aluminum...

    Hop Allergies

    While not a true allergy, my wife has a bad beer reaction: She has rheumatoid arthritis (since the age of 6) and recently discovered that she has a mild flare up if she drinks wheat beer the night before. Her favorite beer? Blue moon. FML. I've been slowly converting her to APA's and...
