Has anyone visited Texas Beer Co. in Taylor, TX? How is it?

Has anyone heard of this or tried this beer? Was it (objectively) any good (as far as mass produced, low calorie lagers go?)

I'm interested in writing some applications that help out on the 'non-brewing' side of brewing. Would you find value in a site that did the following: 1. Helpful tool to signal when to add hops, etc. during the brewing process. 2. Webpage that you can enter your rack schedule and get helpful...

This came down on the AHA mailing list today, I'd not seen it so thought I'd share it here: Speaker presentations from National Homebrew conference: Brewers Association National Homebrewers Conference

I'm slowly building my steam controlled mash system. I have a 16 qt pressure cooker by Presto. Any recommendations on a portable electric burner for using this outside? I will of course run it to a GFCI. I'm not wanting to use propane burner for safety reasons (is that fear unfounded?) i.e...

My wife went to bed early tonight, found a giant wolf spider in the bathroom and freaked out.. Ahh Texas, we have legendary bugs.

God love 'em. Every time I setup my brewing equipment they have to make comments, including her husband grumbling 'good luck with that once your baby arrives'. Every time my wife and I work on the garden he complains I'm creating more work for him. They always let their dogs crap in my yard...

I soldered my manifold awhile ago and to clean the flux off I wipe it all when hot, then scrubbed it with oxyclean and bathed/scrubbed it in hot water/vinegar. How dangerous is it if I didn't get everything off.. I scrubbed the crap out of it but I didn't use acetone or anything of the like...

I'm brewing a holiday spiced ale with OG of 22P (1.088) It's fermented for 3 weeks and I just took a reeading and it's 9P. Using this calculator: http://brew.stderr.net/refractometer.html That puts me at 1.004... 11.2 % ABV!!! Had been shooting for 8.3... I used a 1/2 gallon...

When it is said a '1 Liter Starter' this means the amount of volume of wort in the starter, right? Or does it mean the final result should be 1 Liter of pitchable slurry? I ask this because of adding sugar to 'step up' the size of the starter. I'm assuming it means 1 Liter of wort but...

2nd all grain, bad brew day, thought I was over strike temp but realized my therm was messed up after adding a gallon of cold water and it went up 20 degrees. Used standby digital therm and it read 120. Grr. Started up some more water to boil. Once that is hot enough I'm stirring it in and the...

Just finished cleaning up and I'm exhausted... I'm looking forward to cutting the time down as I get better at this... I was up until 3 am finishing my manifold last night with my Dad so I owe him some brews I think :D It was a good day, learned a lot and my efficiency was 66% assuming I did...

Just in time for Halloween.. I haven't brewed anything yet but here's the label
