My daughters bday party is peppa themed this year. I'm trying to come up with a peppa themed name for the 2 beers i made for her party. I made biermunchers oktoberfast and a fresh hop apa. Any brilliant minds have any suggestions !?

Now that I have 2 under 2 in the house, I revert back to extract brews for simplicity. I can bang out an extra brew < 2hrs for 5.5 gallons. My hops are ready to go, so I'm making a fresh hop APA this weekend. The last few years I've notice that I lose a substantial amount of wort to the...

Friend decided to tell me he's got 7-8 4 or 5 years plants I can pick. They are bunched in a 2/3 plant groups. I pulled these from one cluster. A tad last their prime i think but still usable. Smell is fruity and dank I can get some more photos too. It's a long shot but idk if any can...

Hey all I didn't have much luck searching for information on this. Curious what impact using home grown hops wet vs those which have been dried and stored properly on finished beer? Let's keep the argument fair and say the dried hops are froze and used within a reasonable amount of time, say...

I'm stuck in Atlanta for the night, staying near the airport so way south of town.... Don't have time to take the train up to Sweet Water [90min] but was hoping someone would recommend a good place nearby, walking or train, that has food and a good selection. thanks in advance

Ive got a spare argon regulator laying around... I don't see why i can't swap the tank connector and use for co2 Any reason why not? It's rated higher than co2 tanks pressure wise and still outputs 0-60psi

Just if anyone knows if the tapered slot on the end of shanks is for any other purpose that for the plunger of the faucet to slide into? I'm going to be manufacturing a SS shank and that's about the only portion I can replicate. If it is crucial to flow I'll be SOL but if not, I'll make it a...

Hey all From all I can tell from looking online and using a thread gauge shanks are 7/8-14 straight machine threads I made this part with those threads and the shank won't thread on, the jam nut though will thread onto the tap I used. I'm skunked as can't figure out what's going on, can...

I'm going to be making my own 2 tap tower for a freezer I'm acquiring. Just curious if there is any reason I can use an elbow like shown in the pic on the back of my shanks? Didn't know if it would increase foam production or anything

Hey All- I will be traveling for work through Copenhagen, Frankfort/Mainz, and maybe hoping across the Baltic into Sweden just because. I'm planning to make it to Mikkeller for sure, was curious if there was any other must try beers or brewpubs in Copenhagen? Was thinking of hitting up...

Hey All - Thinking about traveling to the Valentin resort in Riviera Maya --- Has anyone been there and care to shed some light on available beers they have? Trying to not shatter my hopes to bad by having nothing but Corona to drink. Thanks. :mug::mug:

My FIL mentioned that I can have his still operational, 28 yr old up right freezer to do with what I like to make this 'homemade beer' stuff I always bring to his house. It's a 'regular' ?? freezer in that it lacks the 'frost-less' feature that modern units have, that's the prime reason he's...

I've got family driving in this year from Denver for the holidays instead of flying for once. They graciously agreed to mule in some beers for me that I don't have privy to in 'ol Illinois. Looking for some help/input on what all might be truly work the time & effort. I was hoping to get...

SWMBO stumbled upon this over the weekend while flipping through a Crate & Barrel catalog. She told me, here look, here's all those weird beers you talk about. I thought it was cool, especially since it was in a mass mail order catalog. Just thought I'd share on a warm Monday...

Hey All - I'm looking for some help from some of you experience brewers out there. I've never formulated a recipe before. I'd like to use up some of the leftover ingredients I've got laying around in my basement to brew up an APA/IPA. I think what I've got can make a decent beer but I'm...

I just thought I'd share this, I thought it was interesting. While traveling in India for business, their main domestic was KingFisher lager sold in a few varieties, Ultra, Premium, Etc. The premium was the best and also had a very interacting cap on it. Kind of like a hybrid pull tab of...
