I am a golfer, by that I mean I like to go out on the green while drinking as much beer as we can in 18 holes. I however would like to come up with a solution to bring homebrew on the golf course! I am asking if anyone has solved that problem as I need help. Don't suggest bottles, they stink...

Farmer Ted that link is awesome I have been looking at using 2 gallon containers to do my 1 gallon brewing in so I could scale that down and do everything I needed. Thanks

I work 18 hours a day in a much less enjoyable job saving money for just the opportunity of my own brewery. I didn't mean to come off as totally naive I have read dozens and dozens of books on starting a nano/micro brewery and I understand its very hard and only getting harder, that said...I...

So I am starting as a home brewer with the hopes of spending a few years mastering some recipes and trying to turn this into a commercial venture. Before people jump on my back and say: 1. Try it first you may not like it (I will) 2. Good luck it's not that easy (I know) 3. What makes...

Old Thread but I found it because I was searching for a solution and figured I would pass on what I found... http://www.williamsbrewing.com/175-GALLON-BALL-LOCK-KEG-P3222.aspx

Well thats a real shame this could have been awesome! I will still check it out but if it does not give me homebrew style control I dont know that it will work for me!

I am leaning towards trying to make cream ales and milk stouts as they are my favorite types! The advantage of cream ales being they often use adjuncts like corn and rice to lighten them already so that could basically solve everything! Any great cream ale recipes?

That looks like an interesting recipe thanks!

If you have complete control over the brew process I could see myself buying this to brew 3-4 times a week and really dial in recipes!

Thanks that is a great starting point for me! Like I said not for everyone but I for one think it will put a fun challenge into a hobby and also perhaps have future commercial applications.

Decoction is new to me but seems like the main tradeoff is extra work with limited cost for possibly a more complex flavor! That sounds like what I'm going for? Correct me if I'm off base (Still New)

Cascade, Cluster, and Centennial the three C's that is what I have been hearing...

It should also help being a new brewer I want to give myself a box to work in, there are so many many many options when it comes to brewing I think it will strengthen my skills if I say I can only brew with these hops and these malts instead of overwhelming myself with options. Then you know...

I plan on brewing on a combination of a 1 gallon kit and the soon to be arriving PicoBrew Machine. The PicoBrew is basically the brewers bread machine all automated quick and easy I will use it for recipe confirmation. I am not so much concerned about costs now as costs when the scale becomes...

Im thinking more general, what varieties of Malts and Hops are lowest price?
