    What are your contrarian/"unpopular" beer opinions?

    I have never liked Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. It's perfectly acceptable to put ice in warm beer. If the last half of a double surgeons knot half monks blood IIPA squared gets to be too much, I 'Blend' it with a coors light. When whoever I'm brewing with gets too technical I stick something...

    What are your contrarian/"unpopular" beer opinions?

    This is my rule of thumb. I could say it's because I have done extensive comparative studies, but really it's because I am lazy and it works.

    Edelmetall Brü Kettle - any owners?

    The copper is covered in a clear coat. I could smell it burn off the burner. The legs and pot should stay shiney for a long time. For the money it would be a coin toss with the others in its price range, it is pretty though. For stove top I have an 8 gallon bayou classic brew kettle. Came...

    Edelmetall Brü Kettle - any owners?

    I had a wonderfully written and long winded review typed up, but it disappeared. So here is a much shorter and not near as entertaining read. The pot is great! Wife bought me the 15 gallon for Christmas and I used it for the first time on Saturday. Whirlpool port is well made, easy to...

    To The New Brewer - Extract Or All Grain

    @QuadConPana By todays standards we could call it 'extract shaming' and get it labeled a hate crime. I'm going to step on a bunch of toes here, but if you can't make great beer with todays fresh and awesome array of malt extracts, then your not as good of brewer as you think you are. Will an...

    Organization Tips For Homebrewers

    I write directly on the side of the keg with a sharpie. Beer, date, dirty, clean, whatever. Doesn't smear and comes off easily with PBW soaked scrubby.

    Fresh Squeezed hornets

    We are having a bumper crop of hornets this year. After the first pressing yesterday there were hundreds swarming the press, pulp buckets, grinder, juice bucket, everywhere. The paint strainer bags kept them out of the fermenters, but it was impossible to keep them out of everything else...

    Aeration product of choice?

    I found an old med O2 bottle and regulator at local welding supply and offered them $20 for it and have been using it like this for a while now. The other day I was listening to an old brew strong episode and they had mentioned that if using pure O2 that you should aerate for 30 sec, no more...

    History of decoction mashing is... ...wrong?

    This is something that has bugged me most of my life. Not this exactly, but the general idea that "We" the current people of this earth are the only ones capable of figuring anything out and yet at the same time we give credit to some of the most significant discoveries in science to people that...

    Are the posts on a corny keg identical?

    I know this is an old post, but when I purchased my first keg the guy working at the shop put a blue o-ring on the gas post. I have done that ever since and it really makes things easy to remember.
