    The "new" HBT sticker/decal

    I just renewed my membership the other day, which in turn sends a PM from TXBrew thanking for the renewal and telling me my sticker would be sent.. I knew it was automated, but I replied asking him if the sticker came in a color other than white, because the old sticker blended in with my...

    Been gone awhile!

    I've been gone a long time! Almost a full year. Had a lot happen in that year too. Last year, I was working a ton of hours, so I had no time to brew or do anything else for that matter. It was work, eat dinner, sleep, rinse, repeat. Last summer, I lost one of my dogs after 13 years of...

    Bottling question... Cork + vodka = ?

    A bit of a different bottling question.. What will vodka do to a cork? Or vise versa, what will a cork do to vodka? ie I want to bottle a flavored vodka in a bottle with a cork, but im afraid the cork will give an off taste to the vodka.. Any thoughts?

    How should I handle this? Fermentation/time related

    Sorry, I searched, found some similar threads, but nothing really exact to my problem.. I have a carboy full of a pale ale that's been sitting since early January. It was racked to Secondary appx January 10th. So, it's been sitting for 3.5 months now. It's clean, no signs of an infection or...

    Did I booboo? - Frozen keg/lines

    I brainfarted the other day... I just finished my kegerator in time for usage on NYE.. I was late getting my kegs into the kegerator (sanyo4912), so I turned down the temp all the way, put the kegs in and let them chill. Well, being the genius that I am, I forgot to even out the temp. Today...

    Iodophor pouring/measuring/using...

    Watching a youtube video (Bobby), I noticed he had a push squirt top on there. As I normally do with a Bobby_M video, I screamed BRILLIANT! and then said, wait, what size squirter is that? I tried to fit one of the ones we had on it, but had no luck. So, that brought up the question of...

    I'm bumming. My first "less then perfect result" batch... Rosanna Banana!

    I'm at about 100-150 batches now in total... As of this week, I've never had a bad batch. I consider myself somewhat lucky and cautious. I transferred my Oberon clone into a corny today, and almost got knocked out by banana smell. Holy cow, it smelled like I was standing in Donkey Kong's ass...

    Safe to drill inside the 4912?

    I'd like to mount my CO2 distributor inside on my 4912... Am I safe to put 4 small screws (siliconed) in there or is that area riddled with freon lines as well? I'd like to mount this on the back wall of the fridge, up somewhat high on the wall... A pic of the distributor in question...

    Best way to store wine?

    What's the best way to store our homemade wine? We've got about a case and a half of an Australian River Reserve that we bottled in late November in the basement. The basement is cooler, probably a little cooler then room temp. The bottles are in a box with the lid closed, away from light...

    Can you "overcook" the wort?

    Taking advantage of a rare day off without SWMBO around and decided to brew... Did I fail to mention that SWMBO is my QC engineer? About 35 minutes into the boil, I realized that I forgot to add my DME spray with the hops. D'OH! So, I added it at that point and reset the timer for another...
