First off, sorry for the bad photos - I wheeled everything into the yard to photograph before the rain hit, then the rain started to come down before I could start photographing and I had to rush it all back into the garage. Now that that’s out of the way - I am selling my complete home brewing...

Hello Everyone! So, I did my first brew day about six months ago before getting back surgery and have immediately forgotten how to do everything due to being out of practice. My first beer came out wonderfully, so I'm trying to stay as close to doing what worked as possible. That being the...

Hello! So here's my current gimmick. My band is about to release our second album, "Primordial." I'd like to brew a batch of beer for us to celebrate, which I have decided I will call "Primordiale." "Primordial" means "existing at the beginning of time." The gimmick I'd like to use in...

Hello all! For those of you who didn't catch my introduction thread - ie probably most of you - I am looking to get started with all-grain brewing due to the simple fact that a number of recipes have been handed down to me, all of which are all-grain. I have an old cooler that has been kicking...

Hi all, As a native of Portland, it was really only a matter of time before I started to get into homebrewing. My uncle was a fairly accomplished homebrewer, but he doesn't really drink much anymore and as a result has stopped brewing. He has graciously allowed me to use his recipes - some with...
