    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    Awesome Applescrap!:) As long as you have one of those tall Eddyline double IPA's to wash down a gorgeous honey and sriracha loin like that, you can't go wrong! :):mug::)

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    Yeah, you'll be just fine. Sounds like you've got it all planned out, but don't pull it until you get an internal temperature of 195 degrees.:mug:

    Correctly Rehydrating Dry Yeast

    I'm scratching my head over this. I've heard where yeast nutrients are used near the end of the boil, in starters, and now in rehydrating dry yeasts. Are they all equally important, or would nutrients best be used for rehydrating the yeast above all else?

    Flying Blind

    Thanks for all your tips and ideas. Today I finished the "brewday" where I left off yesterday. It was all familiar to me and there were few problems to solve. Surprisingly, everything finished off better than I expected. I only missed my specific gravity by .002 points and my volume just shy...

    Flying Blind

    Thanks for your replies, Ron and Mary. I guess I’m suffering from the usual frustrations of doing something for the first time, especially when it reminds me of how much I Don’t know… The all-grain kit is an IPA with a target OG of 1.064. I guess I don’t understand the difference between the...

    Flying Blind

    Over the past 3 years I have successfully brewed over 250 gallons of great tasting beers with Extract Kits; a 5 gallon batch every 3 or 4 weeks. Today I decided to make a go of it with All-Grain. I thought I had prepared myself, and now I just hope I can salvage this boondoggle. First, I...

    VIDEO: Brewing a Hillbilly beer

    Hey Mongster, Don't pay any attention to jjeffers09 or jr72023 or anyone else who think they know what IS true "Hillbilly." Neither Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Georgia, nor any other southern state has a Monopoly on what is "Hillbilly." Your Norwegian style has perfect...

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    The traditional rule in our house for Memorial Day weekends is a no-flame zone in our kitchen. With that in mind, there are few better ways to start off this Saturday morning than with a Hasty-Bake breakfast that includes eggs, bacon, and slices of polenta.

    Beer line cleaning system with gravity - am I missing something?

    I can't imagine BLC would harm a bottling bucket as long as it's rinsed in a timely manner, but I guess your process should work sufficiently well enough. From what I've read on cleaning and servicing draught systems; if you use a pump for cleaning solution through the lines, it's ideal to run...
