I know this has been broached here before, but has anyone ever opened a HBS? I am considering a move once my wife becomes an RN and would love to know logistics. I have investors, I have space, and I have the support of SWMBO to pursue a dream. Who wants to help?

I hope all the fellow Father's on here have had a nice day! I started my mash nice and early and was all done and cleaned up by the time my beloved Yankees started playing. I got to watch the game, enjoy some brews, then I grilled some steaks and right now the wife is putting the kids to bed...

Sorry if they have been on here before...but I have been following this through my local paper... http://bangordailynews.com/2012/04/24/news/nation/nh-brewery-worker-dies-after-keg-explodes/?ref=relatedBox...

Check out this email exchange: I had a problem - they are fixing it in less than 24 hours. I have always had great experiences dealing with this company - just thought I'd share in case you were thinking about new equipment. :mug...

I have only bottled two out of about 50 batches of beer...I got a hook up on a keg set up early from my Pepsi employee brother. I am going to be bottling a couple of six packs for competitions. What's the best method to bottle - I usually keg everything via force carb, so I am kind of leery of...

Saturday I brewed an All-Cascade IPA with some homegrown cascades given to me by a new friend, then on Sunday I got to share some of my brews with some guys while I took all their money playing poker. Won enough that as soon as I got home I ordered myself some new perlicks! Also got the money...

Any thoughts on this recipe? It's a variation of another I saw on here. I changed the malts a bit and am concerned about the yeast. I would love some criticism and or help. 8.5 lbs 2 row 2 lbs Rye Malt 1.5 Flaked Rye .5 lb C120 .5 Wheat Malt .25 Caramunich .2 lb Special B...

After just under a year and just over a hundred gallons of beer - Sunday is my first go at all grain. I got my buddy Ben (on this forum as Beninan) coming over to assist me. I am super excited! Slainte! :mug:

I has them...my almost 4 year old helped me force carbonate a keg last night!

What's the consensus? Are they worth a try?

I am always cruising Northern Brewer's and Austin HBS's websites for ideas but buy all my stuff locally, I REALLY want to do the Rye Stout I saw on NB's website. How can I make this beer without using their Rye Malt extract...any ideas? I am planning on brewing this evening.

So I am still on the extract...but I want the perfect fall brew to have in my kegerator. I know I am late for an Octoberfest, but that's ok...I have cheated on my brewpot and already been through a couple of cases of Sam Adams Oktoberfest. What's a good idea? I like bitter, hoppy brews just...

After being on disability for 6 months and getting really into the homebrew craft...I sadly had to go back to work about a 2 months ago. I missed you people. But right now I am sitting in front of my laptop with a pitcher of my outrageously hoppy Chinook IPA and getting that special glow that...

I was in to Central Street Farmhouse today to pick up a Rogue Dead Guy Kit and asked Zeth if Homebrew Club was still on for Friday Night (April 01)...he said of course! If you haven't made it out yet - it's a blast. 6:30 to 8:30 at Central Street Farmhouse in Bangor. This month's beer of the...

I think I might buy the glass carboys...but check this link http://maine.craigslist.org/for/2289400252.html

I am not the kind of person that watches tv every week...I can't make myself available every Tuesday at 9 or Sunday at 10. But I am on disability right now from my job and have been doing nothing but brewing beer and watching tv...I guess I have been watching my kids too. But I never watched...

So here is what I have done... Brewed on March 2nd and put it in the primary Racked to secondary on March 15th. Racked to a keg five minutes ago...then placed it in the kegerator I built yesterday. I have not hooked up my CO2 yet to the keg. I was planning on giving it 18 hours before I...

So a few years ago today I asked my wife to marry me...yes I am a true Irishman who asked his wife to marry him on St. Patrick's Day. Tonight I took her and our sons out for a nice dinner to celebrate an anniversary of sorts. My point of this post is that the bar had Sam Adams Revolutionary Rye...

I am an extract brewer who uses specialty grains...I just brewed my 3rd beer today. I am extremely hooked on this new obsession of mine, but I need to consider my long term goals on this. I am extremely interested in doing all grain brewing. From what I can tell it would cost me around...

So here's my scenario - I brewed on Feb 15th. Switched from primary to secondary on the 22nd - bottled March 1st. I just opened one and and it's not quite carbonated and could probably use another week or so. Before anyone else tells me to RDWHAHB - I knew opening this bottle that it wouldn't...
