    Thoughts on Ideal Brewing Software

    I'd like something somewhere between Beer Tools Pro and Beersmith in the equipment calibration department. BTP is too detailed and hard to set up and Beersmith has no Mash Tun calibration at all. The results are I almost never hit my initial mash temp when I preheat my plastic drink cooler. I...

    fruit flies

    I had them all over the place and finally traced them to a giant box of fruit that the SWMBO had bought from the Boy Scouts. I tossed about half of it and they seemed to dissipate for a while. I guess when more fruit goes bad more flies will arrive.

    Plastic Favors in Pumpkin Ale Two Years in a Row

    Yesterday I saw some hollow plastic pumpkins at Wal-Mart. Maybe that's where the got the pumpkins to fill the cans?

    Slightly astringent aftertaste

    I really don't know how to describe the yucky taste my beers had before I started using a carbon based filter but I really disliked it so much I almost put all my stuff on Craig's List. Now I really enjoy my own beer and love sharing it with my friends and neighbors. Amazing difference in...

    CNN article about beer

    Amazing to me that a list of great IPAs that came out of Atlanta wouldn't have Sweetwater IPA on it. Truly one of my favorite brews

    Crap. Broke my siphon...now what?

    I started brewing back in 1981 and brewed for a short time and gave it up for 25 years or so and when I started back one of the newfangled devices someone had invented was the auto-siphon. I thought it was the neatest damned thing until the LHBS guy showed me the bottling wand (you know that...

    pickle bucket

    Good luck with any of those things. I bought 2 from Firehouse Subs. They sell them for 2 bucks. I use one of them for washing the car and the other I did the oxyclean and sunshine treatment for about 3 months and they still smells about the same as when I got them. I use it now as a catch...

    Beef in Bourbon Beer?

    What the hell is next? Goat Pill Ale or maybe Cow Pie Lager? Some of you folks would pitch yeast on anything!

    3 Home Depot Homer Buckets $7 Shipped

    The best deal on buckets has to be the Firehouse Subs pickle buckets. 2 bucks with the lid if they didn't forget and toss it. It has to be food grade (duh it had food in it) but on the bad side it has a smell you will NEVER get out. I use one of mine to hold my grist before it goes in the...

    Bottle shops in New Orleans

    I'm not a great fan of the Abita though I thought the Restoration was pretty good beer. However I had a bottle of Abita root beer (non alcoholic) and it was very good.
