Got a sweet score on a 91 F250 (351W, 5-speed) that needs a slave cylinder. Drove it home without a functioning clutch. Instead of watch football all day, I decided to get the tranny out and put in the goods while we still have some unseasonable warm weather and no snow in Fairbanks. I was...

New brewery in Fairbanks!! Today is the first day, they've got an IPA and a Kolsch on tap right now.....mmmmmm Happy Brewing!

I've had one of these for nearly a year and aside from the oooooh and aaaaaaaahs it's been very, very handy. Got a code in my email so I thought I'd share the love. Code is for the iPhone 4 and 4s only... This thing doesn't make it water proof or life proof but it provides good enough...

Greetings! I'm currently sourcing parts to build the controller in the "PWM..Show us How" thread (found here, also in the electric section) mostly because Fairbanks winters SUCK for boiling 7+ gallons of anything outside in the winter..... I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to...

I my wife has been working on getting licensed for a home daycare which requires a couple of inspections including a visit from the fire Marshall. He seemed more intrigued by my brewing equipment and stacks of bottles than the meat-n-taters. Aside from his approval he said he's always been...

Okay, I know it's not "home brewing"... "Solstice IPA" hops all up in your face!!

Dropped off an American Pale Ale (10a), an American Amber Ale (10b), an American IPA (14b) and a Fruit Beer (20a). The comp is the E.T. Barnett comp in Fox, Alaska, and Silver Gulch (America's Most Northern Brewery). Judgement day is Saturday, I can't wait to get some critical/useful feed...

Just mashed in a black lager. It's 1030pm.....here's a pic.... Not many places you can brew in the daylight in the middle of the night. This is my first attempt at a lager and I'll be counting on my basement to aid the process.. Cliche name time-"Midnight Sun Lager" Anyhow, happy brewing...

1 lb Crystal 80L 15 lbs 2-row 1 oz Simcoe @ 60min 1 oz Palisade @ 30 1 oz Amarillo @ 30 1 oz Amarillo @ 5 1 oz Simcoe @ 2 Dry hop 1 oz Palisade after 7 days for the remaining 14 days. I usually don't rack to secondary but I had an extra ounce of Palisade so I racked onto the Palisade after 7...

First problem, I don't really know Spanish so forgive my title. Secondly, according to my 6 year old, my Amarillo hops are bad because they're green. He said they should be yellow and I told him they are good when they're green. He said, "Maybe you should call them verde hops.." Anyways...

I wish camels actually did store water in their humps. I would kill one and use the camel water to brew a beer. Don't worry, I'd salvage the meat as well.

Bottle primarily in 16oz euro bottles so if I open one at three weeks and it's not quite ready I have to drink 16 oz of almost ready beer. My daughter had a sleepover and my wife bought a sixer of glass 8oz Coke bottles. I just bottled a couple of those with my Irish Red so I can pop a top on...

An airline lost one of my bags; now I'm in Knoxville with the clothes I'm wearing, a change of undies and my home brew. It's wrapped in a plastic grocery bag, vacuum sealed, wrapped in bubble wrap, and secured in Rubbermaid. I placed those bundles of joy in my trusty samsonite, checked it...

Problem: How do I get the tons of free bottles available to me at the dump without climbing in a dumpster full of glass, some of which is broken? Solution: Old hockey stick, para cord, hockey tape. Basically one of those dog catcher things. 1) Saw the broken blade off the hockey stick 2) tie...

I've been wanting to brew a stout and had a thought last night, what about a Stout that tastes like a Samoa! I plan for and routinely rack 6 gallons into the primary, BTW. Here's what I'm thinking for a grain bill: 1 lb flaked wheat 1 lb 4 oz chocolate malt 1 lb 8 oz Crystal 80 7 lb 4 oz 2-row...

I may have found the perfect store for valentine's day, anniversaries, etcetera. Get your special lady something shiny and get yourself some hops!!!! Okay, so maybe there might be some burnt out lights.....possibly....

Alright, I've brewed beer, I've tasted beer, I'm ready to swap some beer! I'll be in Knoxville for a training course (Mcghee-Tyson) and would love to at least swap a couple bottles of my brew for a couple of yours. I currently have 3 varieties ready and a possible 4th ready before I leave...

I bottled my batch today and I only had one problem. I forgot the beer. Now I have 5 gallons of bottled ambient air. Should I dump the air out and start over or should I let it sit the compulsory 3 weeks? Before I realized that I hadn't actually put any beer in the bottles I dumped the...

In this case DIY= Design it yourself One of my hockey mate's kids is a senior at a local trade school. He's been welding for several years and puts out some really nice work. Let me state my issue. The school is short of supplies funding but they have the facilities and abilities. I am...
