Might as well do it again, same rules apply. Anything brewed before 12:00:01 am 1/1/12 doesn't count. Beer only! (for control purposes) You can only count a beer once it is brewed, not before. So no "count me down for 200g!" Let's see if this year's totals go above last years. Add your...

So I was recently able to acquire for free a 55g oak barrel. Me and my homebrew club are going to fill this bad boy with something the question is what? I was looking for a few suggestions. Another guy with a barrel is probably going to do an Imperial Stout.

I am able to snatch up some bottles from New Jersey, any suggestions on what to get?

Me and my gf got into a big argument earlier, now she is sleeping in my bed and I'm sleeping on my friends couch. how did I get the crap end of the stick, it's my bed!

A little messy, 11 degrees under mash temp, yielded only like 4gallons, didn't pitch yeast because it was too late. I don't know what my brew efficiency was. However I'm doing it two-three more times in a week. Hope it goes better. Any advice?

I just set up my Kegging system yesterday and I'm already having a problem. My own stupidity i suppose. I keep everything inside my keezer and right now its at 34 degrees (having trouble with my new digital johnson controller that should be fixing itself right now). I have my Co2 tank hooked up...

I'm looking for a strawberry blonde. I've never had one, or even a blonde for that matter. I've made one for my gf and I'm adding strawberry tonight. I wanted to try an example that is within style guidelines. Does anyone know of any good examples? I live in San Diego, so it would have to be a...

I do clean up after hours, and I'm minding my own business. Scrubbing and spraying stuff. I go in to take the laundry out of the girls locker room and I feel something hard. So I reach in and pull out a phone! Natural curiosity leads me to find out whose it is. So I look through the pictures...

So I decided to make SWMBO a strawberry blonde using the recipe "SWMBO Slayer" posted by BierMuncher. All grain, oh noooo. So I kept reading and found this post: Awesome, I can try partial mash for the first time, went to my LHBS for the first time to pick up the ingredients and today is...

So I'm thinking this abandoned flower shop, used to be abandoned coffee shop is a meth lab. I was sweeping the parking lot at work about 15 minutes ago and as I go past the place, it reeks. I mean seriously reeks. At first I thought it was hobo droppings, but now I think it's a meth lab. It...

I just broke up with my first gf of 2 1/2 years. I have mixed feelings about what I did, but I think that's only because she was my first gf. What do I do now?

Just made my first cider and I had three questions. First, how do I backsweeten? Second, when do I know if I need to backsweeten? And third, when do I backsweeten? I know that I only need to do it if I think it needs more sweetness I have an idea of what it is but I'm not sure so I figured I...

I found this pretty sweet website that makes cups and various other things out of wine, liquor, and water bottles from San Diego Bars and Restaurants. I actually think I'm going to grab a few of these (esp the 4 Piece Stone Collection). I thought I'd share what I think is a pretty cool thing...

I was looking for a BeerXML database I could download to my (android) phone so I could look through and find recipe's I'd like to make in addition to seeing whats commonly used in what styles and results, just a large collection of data so I can analyze it and hopefully improve my brewing...

They don't have a space for soda recipes do imma ask here. I have a couple of friends who don't drink but I still want to brew something for them. I had a very good root beer that Stone Brewing Co. makes with a light start and a strong but not too powerful finish. Was wondering if anyone can...

I was wondering if I could put my hard cider in mason jars? I haven't heard of this before so I don't know if it's ok.

I was wondering where HBT gets their barrels? I'm looking to get one and was wondering the price range (and size). Got a few projects I'm interested in.

I called the water co for the local RO dispenser to find out a few things. I told her I use the water for experiments and asked a few questions like how often is the filter changed (which I didn't really get a direct answer) and a few other questions about the machine. She asked what kind of...
