Because I quit being the entertainment committee! I got tired of being the only one who contributed to the monthly news letter, the only one who hosted a brew day, the only one who organized and planned a club meeting and after 3 1/2 years I quit. As a result, the club died!! There are...

Brewing in the morning and it is a Foreign Extra Stout. I screwed up and didn't get any brewing salts at the LHBS which is 60 miles away. My local water is void of any minerals. Ther are so many Zeros on the water report it looks like the National Debt!! What should I do? I have...

I'm planning a beer that requires some dark specialty malts and I don't want to drive 106 miles round trip to the LHBS. So, I plan on digging out my 14" cast iron skillet and roasting some Maris Otter malts. I plan on regulating the heat on a portable butane burner and maybe covering the pan...

How much beer could you brew over the next year? I've thought for some time that alcohol would be in demand if the SHTF. I have a stockpile of pail malts and specialty grains, two large propane tanks (enough to do 10, 20 gallon batches), and an assortment of dry yeasts. Anyone else...

Anyone have any feed back on this event? I attended in Eugene the 16th and although there were 20 breweries and 26 fresh hop beers available, it was not very festive. There were no brewers on site while during the three hours I attended, 12 noon to 3PM. No one to talk to about the beers...

I came over to post about the stupidity of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and never realized what a huge community there was here. Anyway, I posted the other thread before posting here, I hope everyone is OK with that. I've been home brewing for 4 years. Currently brewing on a 20 gal...
