California heat wave day 3...... Tally, two rabbits, 3 cascades, 1 columbus and a pair of flip flops (stepped on a pop top... damn you Buffet get out of my head!!!). Seriously though this heat wave has hit 105,108,109 and the low is Wednesday predicted at 101 with a return to 109 the next day...

So I just picked up a box of kegging supplies of craigslist. Paid $100 and got home to figure just what I got my self into. So many things were not even listed on the post so imagine my surprise when I priced everything out and it came out to and almost $600 value! :ban: I have a small problem...

So I just smoked 3' of rabbit sausage today with cherry wood in a barrel wet smoker and I am shocked to find it dry. Chicken I also smoked with it was the moistest chicken I have ever had and was literally blowing bubbles in the skin waiting to pop juice out. I used a basic recipe I found online...

Ok so here is the situation. I have two strings of hops going in the ground this weekend. The plan was to use reclaimed 21' 2.5" well pipe. I am going to sink it straight down 4 feet leaving me a 17' tall poll. I was planning on cementing them in as well. I was going to use heavy aircraft cable...

Woke up this morning at 5:20am and walked about a hundred or so yards out onto my property and bagged a late season turkey. Cleaned and in the fridge by 7am with little propane used in plucking. So far so good. Noticed a nice krausen on my yeast starter I thought was dead (washed yeast from...

Ok so I have a wheat in the keg at 41'F ad it is sitting on 19psi and has 15ft of 3/16 beer tubing between it and the party tap. I open the tap full bore and am still getting all head and a relatively flat mouth feel. I have read a lot of people saying that 10ft would be more than enough and I...

Ok, so my brewing buddy screwed me over and left me holding yeast, orange peel (bitter or sweet not to sure, was kinda sweet) 3.3lbs Breiss wheat LME and WL 320 yeast. I was able to come across Saaz, and willamette hops and 6 lbs of Pilsen LME. So the initial plan was to go with 5LBS pilsen LME...

Ok this is not a Smoking question but more of a grill advice question. I was given a master forge like this guy here from lowes last summer...

So here is the problem. I have 1 keg full and 3 just begging to be filled. I am doing a Belgian Abbey style this Wednesday and it is going to leave me with some bulk items that I must brew with now! Wife is pregnant and I will be home from summer school for the next month so I need to fill those...

So I am going to brew Briess's Goofy Juice Belgian Ale. I found a comparable yeast and I think I am ready aside form one blaring question. Sweet orange peel or bitter? Her is the recipe and please let me know. I am going to try and call them tomorrow but I rather here some homebrewer sage...

Ok, so here we go. I got three kegs for my b-day with a 10lb CO2 tank. I am excited. I am new to all of this and my first beer was infected prior to bottling so imagine my relief when beer two tasted ok after 3 weeks of primary. I need to keg this beer now as I have no ambition or time to bottle...

I have been reading this site for about a year dreaming of brewing beer. I finally just pulled the trigger and bought a carboy (much to the wife's dismay), and away we went. Brewed my first batch about two weeks ago (Dunkelweizen extract kit). I just bottled and moved to a modified Porter with...
