    Illinois I have a ticket to the Naperville Ale festival on February 24th that I can't use

    I was planning a trip up to the Chicago area to hang out with a friend and we have tickets to the Naperville Ale festival. He's backed out and I have a ticket still available. I won't be making the trip now and I figured I could check here to see if anybody wants it. I'm not asking anything...

    Illinois Naperville Ale Fest It's a long shot

    I'm planning a trip to Chicago to hang out with some friends. A buddy has decided that he wants to go too. All of us have VIP tickets to the Naperville Ale Fest except for him. The VIP tickets are sold out and I'm hoping someone here would have one for sale, or know where to get one. Any...

    I need a sanity check....Long Story About the Wife

    Before I start the story, I've told her that we need to talk tonight and she has some idea what I want to discuss. I'm not just on here asking strangers about it and not discussing it with her. It's something we need to work out between us, but I want to get some insight from others and am...

    Good breweries or brew pubs in Scottsdale?

    I'll be in the Phoenix area (Scottsdale, specifically) for a few days in early March. Are there any good brew pubs or breweries I should check out while I'm there?

    Rims wiring help

    I'm working on a rims setup and would like someone to take a look at it to see if I'm missing anything. I know there are similar diagrams around here already, but I find that it helps my understanding if I can work it out for myself. The pump is a Chugger SS brewing pump, the switches are all...

    2-Row pale malt in a Kölsch?

    Just got back from the LHBS, gonna brew up a kölsch today. The shop didn't have the pilsner malt that my recipe calls for, so I picked up 2-row pale malt instead. Any thoughts on how this could affect the end product? Here's the recipe as it is now: 9.5 lbs. 2-Row pale ale malt 0.5 lbs...

    Slow drain help

    I've got a slow drain in a shower/bathtub at home and drano isn't doing anything to speed it up. What product do you use to get a slow drain running smooth? I've been thinking of trying the drano foaming stuff because it's slow, not clogged. I'm afraid the drano is just running through...

    Malting my own wheat ideas

    So, I've got my hands on about 10 gal. of raw wheat from my uncle the farmer. (yes, 10 gal. my dad picked it up for me and I believe it's simply 2 - 5 gal. buckets full of his wheat.) I'm going to try to malt a bunch of it and make a "family name" wheat beer from it. I've been researching...

    SWMBO is getting me kegs!

    SWMBO just told me that she ordered 4 cornys for my birthday. Look out kegging, here I come! Now I'm working on getting her to order some faucets and shanks so I can put more taps on my kegerator that until now has only held commercial brew. I'll bet I can get her to buy that stuff for our...

    Brewers are good people

    I've decided that, except for a few bad apples, homebrewers and brewers in general are good people. I haven't met a lot of brewers other than through HBT but have met a few. All that I've met are super people. I just got back from Granite City and met the head brewer there again. (I had...

    I don't like my bosses

    It's 2:26 in the a.m. monday morning, and I've been in the office since about 11:00 a.m. Sunday morning. I'm doing a bunch of work to make my boss look good in his meeting tomorrow (rather today I guess), and I'll get no credit for it. I hope my resume gets some hits on it pretty quick once I...

    I'm doing something stupid

    A buddy of mine has bragged about eating 27 hotdogs over 9 innings at a Royals game. I told him that's not so big a feat and will eat 28 over 9 innings at this friday's Royals game. It's buck night that night, which is why it was chosen. I'm looking forward to hanging out with my friends, but...

    Keg cutting

    So, I've aquired an old sankey keg. (Lets not get into the legal and moral discussion about this one please.) I'm getting ready to cut the top out of it. My question is regarding the lip on the inside top of the keg that everybody leaves on. Is there a reason to leave it on other than to make...

    I'm gonna quit

    I'm gonna quit smoking. My family is sick of it and I'm feeling like I'm ready to give it an honest go. Have any of you quit? Do any of you have suggestions on how to help the process along? I'm considering getting this shot that is supposed to remove all pleasure from smoking. I've also...

    New beer for kegerator

    I've got an empty keg in my kegerator. I've decided to quit getting the BMC just to please my friends. I'm gonna get something that I like this time around. I'm going to have to ask the liquor store to order it in for me special I'm sure. I can get Boulevard beer, but that's available at...
