DSICLAIMER: I'm not looking for sage advice, and i'm not expecting anything. I don't talk to my close friends or family, as i don't like people close to me to know everything that is going on in my life. I'm a very private person, but i just NEED to vent. The situation is, i got engaged...

Was out with swmbo killing time before the hockey game over the weekend when i stumbled upon some homebrewing supplies at the local goodwill. Got two old school fermenting buckets and some other odds and ends for $10. Had the guys original order slip from 1992 in the buckets, some vintage...

So long story short my birthday falls on 'Learn to Homebrew' day, Nov 5th. So I'm looking to have a few people over to show them the whole brewing deal and I'm finally restocked with two fresh kegs, Looking for some thoughts or comments on my first draft of a recipe: 16# 2row 1.5# Munich Malt...

After a year of bottling I finally made the jump to kegging. SWMBO picked me up a dual keg system as a thank you after I got us into a new house in a nicer neighborhood (renting). It ended up that the second fridge that was in the basement of my new place didn't work, so i went out and bought a...

So, my girlfriend just ordered me my first kegging setup: http://www.midwestsupplies.com/dual-double-cornelius-keg-system.html Words can't describe how psyched i am to start kegging, i've been brewing and bottling for about year now and am completely over it. I've been doing a lot of...

So i'm still doing extract brews. I am trying to do 2 batches/month for the year. One being a kit recipe, the other a recipe of my own. I'm trying to get a barleywine brewed withing the next couple weeks, plan is to primary for a month or so and then hide the bottles from myself until next...
