I love historical brews and cooking. Here is one that uses wheat bran and star anise. https://youtu.be/zKAk2c8KfNE

Working out a recipe and I have no Vienna malt. What I do have on hand is: 2 row 6 row Marris Otter Carapils Biscuit Crystal 30L Crystal 60L Red Wheat Wondering if a bit of Biscuit and either 2 row or Otter would work in a pinch. Any input? Or shall I use this as an excuse...

Well this is a first for me. Made a batch of blackberry cider, been in the bottle for a couple weeks. I use plastic soda bottles since they are cheap easy and the cider does not last long around here. Woke up today and thought I smelled something yeasty, but did not give it much thought. Got...

BiMart has the King Kooker propane burners on sale for 27 bucks right now. Good deal for anyone in the PNW looking for a cheap burner.

Got a Corona knock off mill and did a quick test grind. Seems like the grain is pretty fine, but would like other opinions.

Going to be in Eugene this weekend and am curious what home brew shop you would suggest. I live a couple hours away and do not get to visit an actual shop very often. Thanks.

Great Youtube channel on 18th Century cooking. Also covers some beverages from the time that are interesting. https://www.youtube.com/user/jastownsendandson

Looking for a mill, but don't want to spend a fortune. Came across this one. You think it will do the trick...

Bought for a dollar over the weekend. Got some rust and corrosion, but it looks like nothing a little elbow grease could not fix.

Bought a bottle of Kellerbrau the other day. It is a flip top bottle that is bottle conditioned. Should I try and harvest the yeast in the bottom of the bottle? Never done it before and if this yeast is worth keeping I may try and harvest it.

Well my jaunt back into brewing has hit one of the same snags it did the last couple times. My wife does not like the smell of fermenting beer. I keep the stuff in a closet and when she opens it I catch hell for the smell. I like it, but of course SWMBO has to be happy before anyone else in...

Been wondering about something.... The recipes that use malts always use DME. Is this personal preference or is there a reason for using the dry extract over the liquid? I buy the liquid because it is cheaper locally. Should I invest in some of the dry stuff or am I fine with sticking to...

Been assembling some brewing gear and today I bought a Mr. Beer kit minus ingredients off Cragislist for a few bucks. I like to do half batches and these Mr. Beer kegs are great for that. Anyway, this one came with 8 of the plastic bottles (always a bonus). One of them still has beer in it...

Howdy all, I have brewed off and on for about 10 years or so. Always seemed to get in a money crunch and sell my gear only to regret it later. Well we are past that now and I actually have the time and money to use for hobbies rather than bills. :rockin: Mainly did extracts and partial...
