    Cleaning a chest freezer

    2 weeks ago I got a free chest freezer and learned that nothing in life is truly free. The person I got it from had someone working on their garage, they unplugged it, and didn't ever plug it back in. The deer in the freezer did not fair well. So far I have sprayed it down with bleach twice...

    Back in business

    I have been out of the game since 2011 due to an over abundance of life happening but today is the day that I get back to homebrewing. I've got an oatmeal cream stout that I am brewing, probably in a thunderstorm, to go into a keggorator I'm getting at the end of the month from my BIL that got...

    I have been helping a friends mom move for the past two days and I have been done for 3 hours. My brother was helping me but he is quite acward when it comes to doing physical things so basically I moved two 24 foot uhaul trucks worth of stuff by myself. Including a piano, old big screen...

Well I got extremely drunk and SWMBO switched me to water and left my friend in charge of refilling my water. I kept drinking the water and he kept getting it, ended up having about 6 of...

    first blow off

    had my first need for a blow off tube today, glad I've been using one for the last 3-4 batches while they are in primary. Have a RIS that I brewed yesterday and pitched onto a little less than half a cake of WLP002 using yeast fuel and plenty of O2 so it was not the biggest surprise when I...

    just a general FYI for all brewers

    never do the blazing challenge at buffalo wild wings or have any similarly spicy diner the night before a brew day. Just thought I would throw that one out there so people wont have to suffer like I am :cross:

    Gotta have priorities

    The other day I was running some errands and I realized I missed lunch. So as any person would do I check my wallet and find a 10 and think this will get me something good. I began to think of what should I do, and then it hits me. I went to the Wally World and picked up a can of sardines and a...

    first brew done

    4 weeks ago I boiled my first batch of beer and tonight I finally popped open the first bottle of homebrew and drum roll.......it was delicious. I used the the cincinatti pale ale recipe on howtobrew.com ended up switching up the bittering and aroma hops but it was a good mistake. I am just...

    Boiling water

    Before I placed my order for all my supplies to make my first batch of homebrew I decided that I would make sure I had something capable of boiling a large amount of water. The first place I tried was the stove top, but decided against it seeing as I only have about 3 inches of clearance...

    New brewer in Tennessee

    Hello all, I am trying to gear up to make my first batch of homebrew but I am having a problem that I am all too familiar with, boiling water. Hopefully with some help I will be able to find a solution to my problem and be able to make a good first batch of beer.
