If you're walking distance from Wrigley as you mentioned, then something like 18th street is going to be a major hike, and 3 Floyds will be an hour each way plus traffic. Here's a comprehensive list I found the other day: http://thehopreview.com/blog/chicago-brewery-list With 68 breweries in...

What if instead of breweries being like wineries, breweries are like the music industry? Huge profits to only th highly visible, and for the rest they give their product away at break even or loss and get by with supplemental revenue streams? Only difference is that people pay for beer and not...

Here's what I did -- couldn't find the MFL splitter easily so I just got a stainless tee instead. I also got AiH's accessory kit #1 for the gas connection and spliced the tee into that. Here's my cart from homebrewing.org. You only need one of the gas posts, I got a second one to replace...

Yea I'd like to do a neck label but I wasn't sure how to incorporate. It's kind of tough to tell on the computer screen, but the label design is actually a white strip on the top with a skinny black bar underlining it, and then the bottom of the label is a subtle beige color. I think the subtle...

Just started brewing a few months ago but I've been messing around with a brewery concept. I have my 3rd, 4th, and 5th beers fermenting right now, and I plan to bottle them and give them as holiday gifts this year. I drew some sketches on my iPad for the graphics of each beer, and mocked them...

Thinking of making a kit wine for an anniversary, with the idea to age it and open 2 of the 30 bottles each year for the next 15 years. Ideally it will get better with age, but if it peaks early I guess that's ok so long as I don't have to pour any out down the road. I would plan to get the...

just realized that maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought. something to keep in mind for everyone brewing this: hydrometers are calibrated for a certain temp (look on the box, it'll tell you), and if you measure at a different temp the reading will be off. I measured my OG at 110 degrees because...

After going through all 20 pages of this thread, I tried to compile an updated version of gingerman's recipe that takes the best of all his replies and combines them. Here's what I came up with, not sure if gingerman is still around these forums to weigh in because this thread is a couple of...
