    GABF and other US competitions

    I know GABF is the biggest of them all and most likely has the most entries total. What are the other big competitions in the US? I believe US Open Beer is another one? What competition is considered the most prestigious or important to breweries.. at least the ones interested in these...

    Beerland TV show on Viceland Network

    I just read about this show. https://www.brewbound.com/news/golden-road-co-founder-star-new-viceland-series First thought: Cool! A short series based around Homebrewing! Second thought: Ugh. They hired the lady who sold Golden Road to InBev to be the host. That isn't very homebrewing...

    Barley Wine came out much darker than expected..

    What might be the reason why? Malt was all Maris Otter. Beersmith said the color would be about 10 SRM. It looks like it is about 20. This beer fermented at 62 degrees for between six to seven months.... yes, I let it ride! The taste is excellent but of course there is plenty of...

    Who's taking their beer to share on NYE 2014?

    I'm taking 5-10 bottles each of my Lime Hefeweizen, Two Mo's Pale Ale and Citra Smash Pale Ale. Look forward to sharing it and seeing who likes what..... will be mostly BMC drinkers.... so these shouldn't be to inaccessible for them.... hopefully. :mug: Happy New Year everybody! :ban:

    Holy co2 buildup!

    I got my first chest freezer for fermentation back in June.... until this Sunday, I've never had more than one brew fermenting in there at a time... its always a lovely smell that first week of fermentation when you open it up... Last Sunday I brewed a smash pale ale... and made two gallons of...

    ISO: Grapefruit Sculpin

    Can trade Texas IPA's or other Texas beers... or just beers we get here in Texas that are available now.. just check Seekabrew... Jester King has become very hard to get here in Houston since they began doing a lot more selling at the brewery. I do have access to Prairie Artisan ales...

    Oahu and Kauai Beer

    We are finally getting to visit the state of Hawaii this summer in early August. We'll be staying at the Vive Hotel Waikiki while staying on Oahu. I'll take any advice on breweries to visit, craft beer bars or restaurants.... obviously craft beer isn't the reason to be there, but while there...

    Just finished 5th brew....

    Spent the afternoon brewing in the kitchen.... it is time consuming, but a nice way to pass a Sunday afternoon... This was the easiest one yet... I'm finally starting to feel like I sort of know what I'm doing... (not saying I'm an expert by any means.... but this is the second recipe I've...

    Rookie mistake! Good times..

    So... My second one gallon batch... Bourbon Dubbel from Brooklyn Brew Shop went really well during the cook and move to fermentation... man that sucker really fermented like crazy during the first three days... blow off tube worked great.. Once it settled I went to put a double bubble into the...

    Just started first brew...

    Ok, got the water up to 170...put in the mash and stirred.. temp did not go down very fast... at all... so it stayed at 160-165 for a few minutes as I figured out what to do... was adding small amounts of cold water and stirring. At 20 minutes it was down to 152. Did it already hurt...

    south of Houston, Texas

    About to brew my first batch today. Have been drinking craft beer for many years now... I won't lie... I thought brewing beer was mysterious and probably very difficult... until I had the chance to watch a friend brew beer.. I'm not saying it is easy, but it certainly isn't the HUGE mystery I...

    Anyone brew somewhere between 1 and 5 gallons?

    I know several people that brew 5-10 gallons at a time... honestly, that is more beer than I would like to brew/store at this moment. I'm looking at starting with 1 gallon kits... but of course, finishing with 8 or 9 twelve ounce bottles of beer is probably a bit less than I'd like to make...
