Hi friends and beer nerds, We too are throwing our hat in the ring. Our family owned and operated brewery will open in September this year in Northern Colorado. This adventure has been nearly 3 years in the making, and there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. I know there are...

We are throwing around the idea of using flavor syrups at the tap. For example, one could order a purposely-brewed blond ale and add a pump of banana extract, or a session pale and add a pump of orange or grapefruit extract. I have had feedback from a lot of people about this already...

Hello everyone! New for this year, CMC has started using Boulder Fermentation Supply as a distributor of their products for homebrewers. I was told by CMC that BFS would provide us a discount for our continued support. Unfortunately, the discount we are receiving still includes a BFS...

Hey everyone, We are in the process of making the jump...yes, that jump; lease is signed and our equipment is on a boat. It will be a family affair, for better or worse! Once we've made a little more progress, I'd really like to start another thread (like Muddy's excellent walk-through)...

If you have 2 pints of beer and I have 10 lbs of grain, how many bottlecaps do I need to boil? I think the answer is 152 degrees.

I didn't renew my AHA membership in time to get the access code for members session tix. Anyone not going and willing to share their code with me so I can get a couple tickets? I'll pour a little on the ground in your honor once I get there. Please halp

I didn't renew my AHA membership in time to get the access code for members session tix. Anyone not going and willing to share their code with me so I can get a couple tickets? I'll pour a little on the ground in your honor once I get there. :mug: Please halp.

It's been a year. I don't know about you guys, but I plowed through my grain. Whatya think about another round? Last year I ran everything through a google form and accepted prepayment via paypal or google wallet. That seems to work well. Colorado Malting Company also has new specialty...

I'm interested in everyone's thoughts/experience about my current process. I usually use a 90min mash in the normal single infusion temp range. Although my brewing process could use some help in terms of time efficiency (which may affect mash efficiency). I have a single tier rims system but...

I had some potatoes on hand from this fall's garden and wanted to try out a potato wine. I found a few recipes online, but most described almost a potato partial mash, just steeping the potatoes. I wanted to try converting potato starches. I used 2.5lbs of reds, 2.5lbs blues, and 3lbs of...

I am searching for some B. Nektar meads. They don't distribute anywhere near me in CO, but all over the east coast. There are a few Star Wars themed batches I would really like, but anything would be great. Anheuser brews here, so let me know if you want some Bud.

What are your non-beer related hobbies? Watching sports doesnt count. Outside of employment and beer making, I spend a lot of time on my road bike. And I guess I use that as justification for the quantitiy of beer I consume. I also keep planted fish tanks. I like the aspect of a...

With GABF'13 just around the corner, I wondered what kind of pull this event has. There was kind of a stink about ticket sales and access to brewers. Are you travelling in? From a long distance? Mostly members session or multiple sessions? Any other Colorado activities while you are...

Hello fellow northern front range brewers! :mug: Colorado Malting Company is doing some pretty cool stuff. In addition their selection of Colorado grown and malted grains, they also have a wide variety of malted, gluten-free grains. Who in the Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor (maybe Greeley)...

There aren't too many Marzen recipes on here, let alone with rye, and I love rye in my beers. The recipe below is the "wedding march" marzen recipe from Beersmith, although I want to add rye, similar to Great Divide's Hoss. Any comments on the recipe itself? I was planning on replacing the...

I know there are many like it, but this one is mine. 2" mild steel stand with locking casters based on n2fooz design, here is his awesome thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-single-tier-build-289260/ High temperature engine primer and paint (painted outside at 40F = bad idea)...

Is fantastic...just saying. It's smooth and creamy, chocolate milk for big boys. Try some. 4-packs were released a week ago along with taproom release last Sunday. From the bottle: Named after the farmer who has picked up the brewery's spent grain for more than a decade.

Smithsonian and NPR had small segments about spruce beer recently. I have also seen a few threads on here about use of spruce tips similar to hop additions. I searched around and found this recipe. I am really interested in making this, I like the root beer type flavor, plus spruce, plus...

I'm almost at the end of my single tier stand build which will hold a direct fired propane RIMS setup, with just a few items remaining. I know there are many EE's and electricians (and experience) on here, so here's hoping: I am having troubling with the wiring design of this setup...

I have hunted through most of the old threads regarding propane plumbing on a single tier stand, and am left with just a few questions: I would like the plumbing to follow this flow (if possible): LP tank-->30PSI reg-->1/2" black iron pipe-->1/2" ball valve-->1/2"black iron pipe-->gas...
