I really hope this was a one time experience. Went there a couple weeks ago looking forward to drinking some craft beer being a brewer myself. I asked if they had a porter or stout on Nitro to which they responded they just started serving one on a Nitro tap. I didn't want a sample I asked for...

Just have to share my college field trip to Fort Collins, Colorado for my brewing class. Pulled in about noon on Friday and checked in with the University Best Western. Clerk recommended sandwiches up the street at the Cheba Hut. I was instantly reminded Colorado is legalizing weed when we...

Woke up to this infomercial that is advertising using their citric acid release filters instead of a traditional water filter utilizing salt to soften hard water. Which one do you think would be better for home brewers? http://www.nuvoh2o.com/nuvoh2o-complete-system.html

I put all 5 gallons of edworts apfelwine in 500ml beer bottles that I use for my hefeweized. Went to cap them with a new Red Baron capper and none would crimp on properly. Tried other 12oz bottles, recycle bottles, different caps made sure I didn't have the 29mm bell on. Checked the 2 steel...

I was going to order all this stuff on the 10th but wondering if I should just wait until Black Friday. Anyone know if any supply places run any good online deals at that time? Should I wait? 1 x Plastic Fermenter (7.9 Gallon) 1 x HALLERTAU LEAF HOPS (1 oz) 2 x Beer Bottles 12 oz (case...

I remember when I was a kid seeing this clip in the 79's by and it inspired a line of t-shirts that we could typically find at tourist spots. I had one in high school in the late 80's early 90's. Even had it with me in Germany and they thought it was hysterical. I'm now looking to try and find a...

Just got my order from an online company for a cooler bulkhead valve assy and was disappointed when I saw my free DVD was not in the box. Wait, there is a little box in there. Open it up and it's a Blichmann Engineering BrewMometer that I did not order or get billed for! I was actually thinking...

Just curious what others are using out there to contain those vigorous batches that like to spew foam out of the airlocks and spill. Also for your beer storage areas to make sure no bottles crack open etc. I keep mine in a wardrobe and used a heat gun to better conform a weathertech cargo liner...

Anyone see this? Happened a couple days ago. Schorschbräu Schorschbock 57% finis coronat opus did hold it for awhile. I did some basic math to figure out how much ice you would have to pull out of a 5 gallon batch. You could only get a 6 pack in the end if you started with 5gal of 8% ABV bock...

Kid mentioned to me one day how she wished we had the stuff to make a deep dish pizza. We make our own from scratch every week and think cardboard pizza is pretty crappy. I had not had a good deep dish also so low and behold I jumped online and ordered the stuff.Here we go. I had bought this Kit...

Trying to decide between kettles. This is my first AG setup, I have a 10gal commercial grade Igloo mash tun, Rubbermaid HLT, and I'm trying to decide the best option for my main boil kettle. Price is not as big of deciding factor as quality. I don't like putting money into stuff that is "good...

Anyone ever tried this stuff before. Grew up with it as a kid, families would get together and make this and lefse in the winter. Main ingredients would be lean ground beer, all spice, onion, sale peter, and a few other secret spices. It would then be stuffed into a beef casing, air pockets...

Thought I would share this for the wine makers here who happen to like tool, making wine and Arizona. Pretty interesting really. Rockstar builds vineyard and then pretty much just does the rock star thing when the vineyard needs money for expansion etc. The Documentary "Blood into Wine- The...

Posting this for people who are looking at Mash Tun/HLT coolers. Hope it helps someone. I just got my Mash Tun setup in an Igloo 10 gal Commercial grade cooler and modified it by drilling a 1/2in hole to run tubing for my sparge through the lid. and also bought a clearance Rubbermaid 5 gal...

I put this together quickly with a $11 3/8 ID 10ft piece of flexible copper tubing for a sparge arm for my mash tun Igloo cooler. I used a $3 pipe bending spring to bend it by hand and about another $5 in brass plug and cap. wasn't easy and even with the pipe bender you could tell the brass...

Looking for and opinion on equipment. I'm halfway through my Science of Brewing class at the local college. Pretty extensive with hour long lectures three days a week and a 5hr lab every week. Brewed a few batches already and got to try 7 different batches of the same recipe. The batch my lab...

Wanting to build a 10gal Mash Tun and 5-10gal hot liquor tank to link to it. One problem, I have no idea what size items to get or what all I need to put these together. Trying to build up a parts and price list to throw in an exel sheet to sell the price to my "accountant". I prefer to use...
