first I want to say, I have nothing to do with this company, don't know the owners, and have nothing to gain. Just something I saw on Facebook. They are, however, from my home state of Montana! :rockin::rockin: If this in anyway breaks the rules, please remove the post. Anyway, how cool...

anyone have an issue with the port plugging / not flowing very much? The first batch I did with this new bottle it worked fantastic. I pitched on top of the yeast cake, so this is now the 2nd batch in this same bottle without a cleaning in between. I hooked up the hose, pulled the valve...

with all the keezer builds, I wonder if anyone has covered an old fridge in wood too? I have searched and googled everything from "wood covered refregerator", "refrigerator wood panel", "refrigerator panels", etc, etc. I haven't found anything to help. I want to build a kegerator from a...

OK, So I finished the boil on a 5.5 gallon batch, connect the immersian chiller, go turn on the spigot and when I get back my wort is turning..... and fuller than when I left!!! I yank it out and there are 2 gaping holes in the bottom of the chiller. Now i have probably 6.5 gallons of weak...

so as I venture into all grain, and am building my new cooler mash tun with the stainless steel braid, I am looking at what to brew as my first all grain brew. I have a hefewiezen on the list, but think I will put that off for a couple of weeks. My favorite commercial beer is Moose Drool and...

I was thinking about making a traditional Marzen, as in brew in March to drink for Octoberfest. Have any of you done this? I have made a few partial mash versions of this style of beer before for Octoberfest, but usually around the 1st part of august and lager for a few weeks to drink the...

I havn't done much in the way of labels for my own beers, but this coming month we are going to be brewing Ed Worts Hefeweizen for a freind. He lost his long time hunting and fishing companion, Scout, last year. So, we are dedicating this brew to her. Here is my first attempt at a label...

Just read that Mike Starr was found dead today. Very sad to hear he relapsed. Only two ways drug use ends, you get clean or you die. I was just listening to Alice in Chains on a road trip on Friday. :rockin:

So I was cleaning out my brew closet and came across the 5 gallons of mead I brewed a year and 9 months ago (March of 2009). I had racked it the first couple of times and then kind of forgot about it :eek: It has since been bulk aging in a corny keg in the closet. Every once in awhile I...

What the hell?? http://edition.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/09/22/mackenzie.phillips.oprah/index.html?iref=mpstoryview

so here is what I have readily availeable to me tonight: Apfelwein, honey summer ale (in the bottle), about a sixer of assorted other brews, and a nice bottle of a micro-distilled whiskey from Colorado. so where to begin...... I will keep you posted.

I brewed up a partial mash porter two weeks ago, and got caught up in some stuff in the mean time so I havn't had time to rack it. So it was in primary for 15 days. I havn't been using a secondary on these dark ales, so i wasn't too worried about it. I racked it to the keg tonight, and...

I'm taking a work trip out to Portland OR this month, and the two ladies I'm traveling with have made it my duty to investigate the micro-brewery scene before we go. what are the "must go to" places? And, any to avoid?? We will be staying out by the airport is that helps. Thanks!

Wondering what everyone does if they ever find themselves a little short on volume? I think I shorted myself about 1/2 gallon to begin with, and it showed in the end. I made a partial mash Pigs' Ass Porter Clone, and came up just a little short. I forgot to take a sample till the end, so...

saw this today on Craiglist Hops for beer making

This is the story of the man who got me into brewing. I have known Greg since I was 2 years old when we moved onto his parents ranch. He was the same age group as my older brother, and I grew up with his younger brother. After we moved away, and I grew up I had not seen Greg in years...

In the spirit of Texts From Last Night, etc. here is another good one. This guy responds to craigslists ads and messes with people E-mails from an ******* One of my favorites: E-mails from an *******

to keep SWMBO happy I've been doing a little remodeling. Currrently working on converting our spare bedroom (formerly storage overlflow) into my oldest daughters new room. We are slowly updating all of the windows in the house, so while replacing the windows I discovered the insulation in this...

last year I procrastinated and didnt' get it done in time so my Oktoberfest turned into a Christmas lager :o So I want to get a jump start on it this year. Last years was OK, but I know i can do better. How many of you have an Oktoberfest celebration planned for this year? what are you...
