My Amarillo Brillo is currently on tap at McNeill's in Brattleboro, VT. If you are in the area stop by and have a pint. I'd love to get some feedback from ya'all! This is first beer in over twenty years that was brewed at the brewery and not designed by Ray himself. It's got my signature on...

I just got word through the Vermont brewing community that Greg Noonan passed away in his sleep last night. He will be greatly missed. He was a true asset to the brewing community homebrew and professional alike. Here's to you Greg.

The Green River Brewfest is going on June 27th, 2009. Us Yankee Ingenuity folks are talking about a meet-up for the event. :cool: Anyone else interested? I served beer for my friend's brewery last year at the event. It was a very cool scene.

I typically use the WLP 028 Edinburgh Ale Yeast for my strong Scottish Ale. Any suggestions for a smaller beer to make using this yeast? I was thinking English style IPA or an ESB.

Take back the tour right? Pfffffft!:( Saunier Duval has withdrawn from the this years TDF. I guess it was only a matter of time. Looks like the Cobra tested positive for EPO. He made everyone look like they were standing still on the Col de l'Aspin during stage nine. Makes you wonder if...

I own a Victorian Duplex built in 1900. It's got an unfinished basement that works well with running my brewing operation. Last we my tenant acidentally turned the heat on, now the basement is about 85-90f and the pipes have remained warm all week. I opened all the windows to vent out the hot...

My wife is doing a three week cleanse and I decided to give up alcohol for three weeks. As of June 1st I'm on my anti-bender. The only alcohol I have had are samples from my fermentation vessels while racking beer. Only nine days of abstinence left !:ban: I'm still brewing my tail off to...

I'm researching a new burner for my setup and it looks like everyone who owns a Bayou Classic SQ-14 is pretty happy with it. Seems to be a very cost effective solution without having to build something. For those that use it, have you noticed any drawbacks? Anyone want to stear me away and...

Plastic Kegs America is a company now offering plastic kegs, and it doesn't look like that cheap crap either. I emailed them to see if they sell ball lock instead of the sankey. Check out the 10 liter option

There was a sanitation question flying around here recently concerning how long something stays sanitized. This got me thinking...If my cornie is clean, and I sanitize it with iodophor, empty the keg, and then push enough CO2 into the keg to pressureize it, would my cornie remain Sanitized?

I'm not near my brewing equipment right now and need some info. What is the inside diameter of a Sanke keg?

I brewed a tripel on 042708. It started at 1.080. On 050308 it was 1.030. On 051008 it was 1.020. Seem like this is a beer that will keep on giving back. How low should I let it go? I'm thinking 1.012 Why yes, it's taking it's good old time.:cool:

I brewed a Belgian strong golden ale. It started out at 1.072 and I let it go to 1.014 before cold crashing it. Now I'm thinking I should have let it go a little further before putting the brakes on it. While it falls within the BJCP guidelines, I'm wondering if this is going to taste too sweet...

I truly love the taste of Old Chub by Oskar Blues. It's one of my favorite beers. I'm really not a malt fanatic, but this beer is so choice. I have decided to build a recipe and brew something like Old Chub. While in the process of doing my research for a grain bill I discovered that they...

Ack! My barley crusher's passive roller stopped rolling, and I have misfiled the paperwork that came with the mill. Anyone have their's handy to post, or PM me? A small pebble got stuck in the rollers, I removed it, repositioned the roller spacing, and it still wouldn't spin. I broke...

I'm trying to wrap up the ski season here in VT, and thinking about how Yankee Ingenuity VI may unfold. Evanmars mentioned something about hosting the next YI event. Seems some of us are getting that itch to brew together again. So with that said. I'll start the thread.:rockin:
