I'm brewing up a batch of stout and Irish red for the upcoming St Pats party season. On my label I want to add a slogan like "Stout - because green beer is for wankers." However, it occurred to me that "wanker" is more of an English insult rather than an Irish one. Is there anyone out...

This is a design I've been messing around with for a label and a possible t-shirt. I'm looking for some feedback. Would you wear this?

I keg my beer and rarely if ever bottle. So instead of designing labels for my bottles, I design tap handles for my kegerator. I've got three black tap handles with oval facings (former Sam Adams handles spray painted black). I've applied magnetic paint to the handles, so they can accept...

So having never done it before, I'm all hot to start washing my yeast and saving it for future batches. I've read up on the tutorials and feel pretty good about that. Where Do You Get Mason Jars? The problem is I can't get ahold of Mason Jars. :confused: I checked with Mom, who said she...

I got a 1/4" cross fitting to split my gas line to 3 kegs. I've got the original keg with MFL Ball lock disconnects on the 5/16 line connected to the regulator. However, my new hardware are two 1/4" barbed disconnects and 1/4" line with the 1/4" fitting. I've got plumbers lube and a bunch of...

I recently bought a new house. Behind the shed on the property is a 55 gallon barrel. It appears to be stainless steel (magnet will not stick to it) with a welded fitting on the side. Very very heavy. The real estate agent mentioned that the old man who previously owned the house may have...

I'm gonna start doing my warm weather beers and want to do a Belgian White for SWMBO - with zest of orange, lemon and lime. I've found the prepackaged orange zest in my homebrew supply catalogs. Any thoughts on using dried zest from LBHS vs what you might find in the grocery store baking...

I'm somewhat new to kegging (ball lock cornies) and haven't really run into this yet. When I finish a keg, it's usually no big deal to drain the pressure, open it up and give it a quick rinse. I do a thorough cleaning just prior to refilling. Here's the sitch. I'm out of town for a few...

Got up before the sunrise and am whipping up a batch of my Sam Adams clone on the back deck. It's 32 degrees outside, but with no wind it's certainly tolerable with a hot cup of coffee. Hope to get it in the can, pitched, and cleaned up before the wife and kids are up and conscious.

Hey all, I'm not new to brewing but I am new to the forums. After some time off with small kids, I'm back into the hobby and eagerly getting back on to a production schedule. I first started brewing sometime in the mid 90s when I was single and an apartment to myself. I've always been...
