My Homebrewing club is 30 years old. One of the founders stopped brewing some time ago, but hosted us for a yearly meeting. He would bring out aged beers to share to recognize what aged beer tasted like. At the same time meeting, another would bring a vertical tasting of barley wines going back...

Forgot to circle back on this. I brewed this twice in a few weeks, and compared it to a fresh 6 pack of Sunshine Daydream. There were several differences, but also the SD from the brewery is subtly different. The original has much less of the melon and citrus character that I originally...

Hi Weezy. I used a slightly modified version of your recipe due to ingredients (had to swap c10 in for c15, and increase by 50%). And I used slightly more buttering hops because I was lazy and did not weigh them out well. For yeast, my favorite house yeast is San Diego Super Yeast. And I...

i love this beer. Since Big Brew is tomorrow, I ordered up the Ingredients and plan on brewing this tomorrow. I'll reply back when I can evaluate it next to the original. Thanks for the help. I'm on my phone so can't easily post the recipe, but will when it's done. Titus

I used 25 feet of 3/16" inner diameter beer line for my cheap jockey box. The line is coiled into a bucket of ice inside the igloo cooler. The one thing I noticed is that I have to run a bit more pressure to dispense without foam. I regularly sit the cooler above the kegs (about 30 inches, on...

Our club pulled the cold plates out of a 10 tap system, and replaced it with just beer line hose. Turns out, it worked just as well, sitting in ice, in 90+ degree heat, with uncooled kegs. It is cheap to replace (if necessary), and the two 5-channel cold plates were put into jockey boxes, for...

Add 6 for Big Brew (National Homebrewing Day): (so many people posting, the number changed!) Let's try this again: 21,387 + 6 = 21,393

OMG... thanks.

13699 + 20 gal Strong Scotch Ale (10% abv) = 14719 gal

Amazing contest. Sign me up!

Sign me up! Thanks

Speedoguy, I had the bayou classic 40 quart. Very similar to that picture, but as it was pointed out, I removed the handle and put it back after adding a cloth bag, and put a little damage on the rolled lip, not to mention the handle got shortened. So, I probably caused my own problem. I...

I think my 10 gal bayou classic pot would have been fine if I hadn't tried to modify it, which required removing the handle, and it got a bit of a kink in the rolled lip. The handle also got trimmed a little, which might account for the pulling in more than their stock design. Glad to hear it...

Hey Fortydegnorth, I have attempted something similar with a aluminum kettle and the inserted basket. The problem I found, on a 10 gal BIAB setup, is that the weight and the handle are incompatible. When raising the basket, the handle pulls the sides in. This was with only about 20 lbs of...

Please add me, too. thanks

Count me in, too. Thanks!

Very nice. My biab setup has also displaced my rims system. I use three thick wall conduit pipes lashed with rope. I looked up teepee knot and it holds tight. From there a cumalong (some call it a chain binder). It is enough to pick up my 40 gallon bag. Now that I have seen yours, though, I am...

Cool plan. I have a similar garden 20' long, 10' wide, and 17' tall. The posts have a steel cable across the top, on pulleys, so I can raise and lower the entire thing with a marine winch mounted on a pole. The only problem that I had was my 9 varieties (10 plots, I double planted Saaz)...

I know that the police in low flying planes have circled my hop garden many times taking pictures. I usually just wave. After harvest, when the hops were drying in my garage, it certainly did have a scent reminiscent of cannabis. So much so that several guests for an outdoor party commented...

In my own local homebrew club, we had a conversation about detecting iodine based sanitizer in finished beer. I use Starsan for that reason. The other thing you mentioned was using vinyl gloves. That would be overkill, imo, and possibly introducing another unwanted flavor. I switched from...
