    Getting into Wine Making

    This past saturday, after drinking our fair share of wine, a buddy and I decided we wanted to make our own batch of wine. I've been brewing beer since 2008, so I've got an assortment of fermenters and tools related to brewing. What are the absolute basics that I need to produce decent wine? I"m...

    Want to start hunting

    I am currenly mulling the idea of getting into deer hunting. I have shot guns in the past and I am a decent shot, but I know next to nothing about actually hunting game, butchering game, and gun ownership. I was wondering if any of you are avid hunters who would be willing to point me in the...

    Liquid Line Length

    Thought I would throw this out there. From what I read I will probably need to lengthen my liquid line but I thought I would ask first. I have been using a basic kegging set up with picnic taps for about a year. They have 3/16 liquid lines that are 5 ft long. I haven't had an issue with...

    Chrome vs. Stainless Perlick Faucets

    So I'm thinking of upgrading my current keezer setup from picnic taps to faucets. I want to build a collar and put five perlick forward sealing faucets on it, but I am trying to decided whether to go with the 525PC or spring for the 525SS. I know that stainless steal is obviously going to be a...

    First Kegging Issue

    I just got into kegging this past spring and this is the first major issue I have run into. I have had four kegs on my system no problem, but I recently (3 weeks ago) threw a keg of oktoberfest onto the gas. I believe I had gas all of last week and I come home today from a labor day weekend...

    Ipad 2?

    I need some advice from you tech savvy HBTers. Long story short, my HP laptop (2 years old) took a crap on me last night. HP told me I would need to replace some part and reload windows. I had a buddy of mine give me an excellent quote on labor, but I'm having trouble justifying spending almost...

    Dry Yeast

    Today I am brewing BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde, which calls for Notty yeast. I have not used dry yeast in one of my beers for a few years now, but I have helped my friend brew his first two batches using dry yeast. I have been using washed wl001, but the ease of dry yeast is really becoming...

    Wife is pissed at me

    I seem to have a knack for pissing my wife off over the least little thing. You'd think after all these years I'd figure it out. I'm gonna say it's her and not me.

    Liking Wyeast 1728 scottish ale

    Just racked a robust porter into my secondary to add some vanilla. This is my first time using 1728 and i gotta say, i'm liking the early results. I got excellent flocculation and attenuation, and i drank my hydro sample and I have high hopes for this brew. It's always nice to use a new yeast...

    House Strain

    This summer I started washing and saving yeast. So far I have only washed cali yeast, but I currently have a porter that I used Scottish yeast with. I plan to save some of that as well. I'm curious as to what strains you all use as "House Strains". I like Cali yeast, but I'm not sold as it...

    question about a keggle

    I have the opportunity to buy a used decommissioned keg to turn into a keggle. So I was wondering what a good price for a used keg would be? I'm not exactly sure how much they are going to ask for it because it was listed as part of a package, but the guy said he would sell just the keg to me...

    Looking for a new thermometer

    Yesterday I did an all-grain chocolate oatmeal stout. I think I mashed in too high and my efficiency was absolute crap. I always kind of thought my glass thermometer was a little of, and according to that my temp was a little high, but I think it was reading low, but I digress.... I wanted to...
