I have been trying to purchase Beer Alchemy all day. I tried multiple times with multiple cards today 2013-02-20 and continue getting an error that my order did not go through. So I tried the paypal method. The order went through, I got an email that I will be charged but it gave me the error...

This is coming up next week. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Its a really good time and a totally different atmosphere than Beerfest. http://www.alefest.com/columbus.htm

Last year I went to Stone and this year I would like to go to another brewery and Winery in San Diego. Any suggestions? I will be driving in from Yuma, AZ so anything around San Diego would be good. I enjoyed doing the tour of Stone last year.:mug:

Ok, I have been a homebrewer for 7 years now and the SHMBO has finally convinced me to make wine. (The remaining equipment and a wine kit is our Christmas present) What I need to know is if I should read a book about how to do this, or just follow the directions that come with the kit? I'm sure...

The time has come: www.columbusbeerfest.com The Columbus Winter Beerfest returns to the Greater Columbus Convention Center this January for its 3rd annual event. In 2012, we were limited to just one night being available at the center. This year, we are back to 2 big nights....and in...

I will try to give all the details I can. I live in Columbus, OH and we have had day after day of rain lately. These are 1st year hops. I went home over the weekend, watered them Friday around 6:30pm and since it rained both sat and sun, I figured I would be ok to not have someone water them...

I have a partial mash recipe that I used to do before going all grain. Now I'd like to covert it to all grain. Here is the current grain bill and extract. Could someone help me convert this to all grain? This is for a 5 gallon batch. 1# Carapils 1# Munich 1.5 # Wheat 4# Super light extract 2#...

I ordered the Blichmann top tier system from NB last Monday. I received a tracking number for their part of the order and received it on Saturday. Now I have no tracking number and have no idea when it is coming. I now sit at work like a little kid waiting for Santa to come, but I'm waiting for...

So I brewed over a friends house, he bought a brand new house, and we used the water from the hose from an outside spigot. Now I live in Columbus, OH and have never had problems with the water from my beer, I also get it from the tap. I lived in Cleveland, OH and brewed before and never had...

I almost pulled the trigger and then though of something that really concerns me. The whole point of the system is so that I do not have to lift anything. After brewing this weekend, I realized that this system would not eliminate this process. I live in Ohio and winters here get cold. Doing all...

I think someone brewed a beer with their SWMBO and am waiting to hear some story, but instead I keep getting Glutent Free.:(

http://columbusbeerfest.org/Home_Page.php Is anyone going? I'm going VIP Friday night and would love to meet up with some local HBT'ers. The SWMBO is coming along to so it should be a good time.

Ok, so I've wanted to get a 3 tier system for my all grain setup. I went ahead and sold a guitar so I could buy it and now I'm wondering if I should. I'm only 5'6'' so I'm a little worried about reaching the liquor tun at the top. I feel like I'm gonna need a step stool to get to the top. Also...

Today I did my first solo all grain. I have to say it turned out pretty well. I got 70.5% efficiency which is ok, but I just bough a grain mill and don't have the measurement thing so I went with the factory settings. I will be picking up the measurement tool. What should I set it at to give me...

Just wondering if anyone has been to it as it is coming up on the 14th? They have VIP packages that let you in 1 hour earlier than Gen Admission and a bigger sampling glass. It's two nights, VIP runs from 6:30pm - 10:45pm and Gen Admission from 7:30pm - 10:45pm. Is it worth is to get the VIP...

I brewed a 10 gallon batch of Christmas ale last month and I kegged it. out of the secondary it had a strong chocolate smell and taste, I wanted the ginger and cinnamon to be more potent. When I first tried it out of the keg when it was carbonated, it tasted amazing and had the flavor that I was...

Ok this may take awhile. I am trying to figure out the heights that I will need in order to use gravity to move liquids around from my Liquor tun to Mash Tun and from Mash Tun to Boil kettle. Here is what I have figured out so far if at most I plan to do 10 gallon batches. Assuming that 1...

So yesterday I created an excel sheet for the next year of every brew date that I will do next year. I have certain beers that I always do, and I'm working on perfecting one for a few competitions. I need some ideas of what to fill in the dates that I have not filled yet. I like to brew to the...

I have an issue with an Oktoberfest and carb/foam. When my Oktoberfest was done in the secondary, I put it into my keg and turned the CO2 up to 30 and left it for a week. Two days ago I turned it down to around 8 and let it sit for a day. I went to tap it and now all I get is foam. When I tasted...
