I'm going to be vacationing with another family in Montreal the 1st week of August and my friend and I would love to be able to go to the festival since we're going to start the trip home on August 8th. We can get dropped off and picked up from the brewery by the rest of the family, but they...

So now that this depressing winter (for those in the north and northeast at least) is just about over, I'd like to brighten someone's spirits with a spring giveaway. There is only one restriction to entering - you must be an HBT member living in the continental U.S. All you need to do is post...

So, I bought an STC-1000, mini-fridge and a stack of rigid insulation panels months ago to build this. Then they sat. And sat. I was mentally trying to figure out best to build the box and never came up with any good ideas. Then we started a bathroom remodel and as I was moving one of the old...

I'm going on vacation to Italy (leave this weekend, 6/14 and return 6/26) and am open to any advice/suggestions on craft brews worth trying in Rome, Florence and/or Venice. Also any insights on bottle shops that might have European stuff that is tough to get in the US would be helpful (I'm...

What things do craft/micro breweries do that annoy you. Let's leave the big boys out of this ... I am annoyed when you go to a craft breweries site and the ask for your birth date or if you are 21. And as if that's not enough, most can't even remember your answer the next time you visit...

So today I finally got to use the ECY01 yeast that I bought back in the fall - for a turbid mash, lambic-style sour (that I'm going to call lambeec - if you know me you know I hammer the bee theme home whenever and where ever possible!) First off I have to give a big tip of the hat and huge...

If you've always wanted to get a ThermaPen but couldn't get past the price point, they've just released a cheaper instant read thermometer that might be the answer - it's going to sell for $29 but it is currently discounted to $24 with introductory pricing (not sure how long that will last though):

Whether you stay in and keep it quiet or head out for a night on the town (or Times Square) - what beers are you planning on drinking tonight? I've got Lolita, Imperial Biscotti and an Ithaca 15th Anniversary that I just put into the fridge (well, wedged them in with the crapload of beer that...

In case you missed it, get ready to have a stout or two (or how ever many suits you) tomorrow for International Stout Day! And yes, Untappd has a special badge for the day - you know what to do #badgewhores! :D #stoutday

So this morning I was packing up a shipment to fulfill someone's MAW and had a couple of beers that almost fell off the shelf. Since I was in a generous mood I decided to pack those along with a home brew to send to someone as a surprise. Kind of like the concept of the (overall bad) movie...

FYI - Northern Brewer plastic carboy BOGO (5 or 6 gallon) through midnight Wednesday 9/18. Use DUBBLEUP5 or DUBBLEUP6 as the promo code. I just got two six gallons for 35.55 delivered.

So, in my small town outside of Philadelphia we have a nice local brewery, Sly Fox, that has a Bock Fest the first Sunday in May. Like many a Bock Fest thee will be plenty of Bock flowing and many an inebriated person bumping around on a gorgeous day. The little "extra" this one has are goat...

Everyone has their own reason for getting into this hobby - whether is is beer, mead, wine or all the above. What drew you in? For me ... friends gave me a push, but then it was all about letting my inner Frankenstein out and experimenting with styles I like - and some I'd never tried.

So there is a wide array of regional specialities that make traveling around the country so great. Think Triple-D for Food Network fans. So, what is your favorite - and your go to beer when enjoying it? Having grown up around Cincinnati, I am a definite fan of Skyline. Definitely one of...

I can send out a six of each ... in return I'm interested in: 3 Floyds Heady Topper (duh!) anything that catches my eye - usually IPA, DIPA, stouts and porters (although a good Belgian is always good too!)

If you enjoy Flying Dog beers, they are going to start selling complete all-grain kits for 5 gallon batches starting tomorrow. They say it is the exact recipe that goes into the retail beer, just scaled down for home brewing. You can go to this page for further info.

So I was working and listening to Spotify when Kodachrome by Paul Simon came on. That got me thinking that most kids high school age and under probably have no idea what photographic film is, let alone Kodachrome. Then I got nostalgic to when I first heard this song after checking the "There...

Why do they always throw up on the freshly mopped looks?! Seriously! Within 5 minutes of the floors drying one of them is doing the kitty version of a technicolor yawn. What's up with that?

*EDIT* The O.G. should be 1.080 - can't edit that for some reason. I knew I shouldn't have tried to enter this on my iPad... 13 pounds 2-row malt (2.0 SRM) 1.5 pounds Munich Malt 10L (10.0 SRM) 1 pound Melanoiden Malt (20.0 SRM) 0.75 pounds Carafoam (2.0 SRM) 0.75 pounds Crystal Malt 60L...

So I'm having my nightcap (on a long day of drinking) and what do I see on TV? An ad for "wax vac"? What the smurf?! Apparently those of us that use Q-tips to clean our ears are courting deafness or even death by using these dangerous items. :rolleyes:
