I purchased a false bottom for my rubbermaid 10 gal mash-tun and I have noticed it doesn't sit very flat on the bottom of the cooler. At first I didnt think this was much of a problem. I would get a little bit of husk material at the beginning and (a lot more) end of my runnings, but nothing...

A friend on FB just posted this, and I am baffled:

I've brewed a RIS similar to Stone for a buddy's wedding gift. I've never needed to make a label before, since all my beer goes into kegs, but I thought I'd make something nice they could save or whatever.. Going to bottle it into a case of 22oz bottles with waxed tops. SWMBO quite...

I had a feeling when I checked my RIS this morning that it was going to go well beyond the headspace in the 6.5 carboy.. So why didn't I do something about it then? Just came home with an airlock full of foam/wort. I grabbed my hose and stopper for the blow off and the second I touched the...

This weekend I tried making a 2gal. batch to test out some crazy ideas I had milling about. I found out the hard way that a 3lb grain bill and sparging with 1.5 gallons using a 10 gallon igloo with a false bottom seems to have it's own set of problems. I had a stuck sparge that I just...

Saturday we had a private Belgian Beer tasting, with some amazing brews I've never tried, A "new" Orval, an "aged" Orval, and even a Westvleteren 8! I brought a bottle of Brewer's Art Resurrection, along with a couple bottles of my attempt at cloning the Res, and many of the tasters actually...

'Cause I want more of whatever it was. Really now, I thought I pulled this recipe together from here, but I can't find anything similar and it doesn't seem right looking back on it: Ingredients: Amount Item Type % or IBU 8.25 lb...

Long/Short, a friend got a starter kit that had a APA extract batch included which I think he got for christmas. I helped him brew it on 5/31, and he never came over to bottle for one reason or another. 2 months later, I free up a keg and dump it in, telling him I'll carb it up and we can move...

SWMBO and a mutual friend across the ocean have started a blog of photos about beer... She keeps asking me to spread the word, and then gave me a load of hell this morning when I told her I hadn't posted it on HBT.. So, here I am, posting it... *waves at SWMBO* Beer Lens | Photos of...
