I was trying to decide if I wanted to brew my 42 Wallaby Way Aussie IPA today during the Kentucky game or tomorrow during the Packers game. When I woke up it was 4 degree F outside, so Sunday it is. :) Hopefully the Pack play well or the neighborhood kids might hear some new words coming from...
Getting growlers from 3 local breweries for people to enjoy at my party. Thinking the lucky beers will be Blue Stallion Dunkel, Country Boy Couger Bait, and a beer to be named later from Ethereal brewing (they are brand new, so I'm going to get a sampler and fill a growler with the one I like...
I just did my first BIAB last week using a 7.5 gallon pot. I used the sparge method as well and it worked great. As for chilling, I used to chill 5 gal extract brews in the bathtub full of ice water. It took about 90 to 120 minutes to chill it. I just bought an immersion chiller and it is...

I have an Alaskan Malamute mix so the house is always covered in hair. On brew day I make sure the floors have been vacuumed and swept and he is banned from the kitchen because one shake could spell disaster. As for bottling, that is done in the basement where he isn't allowed to go so hair is...
My wife likes beer so I was allowed as long as I cleaned up. And for the record I was able to clean the stove top, but wasn't enough to save me.
