And I am excited about it! I just finished up college this past December (graduated a semester early) and have been looking for a job since then. South East Michigan isn't the kindest job market (unemployment near 15%), especially for someone with very little experience. But, I was able to...

So I have a 20# CO2 that is probably still over half full. I am just checking with all of you guys to make sure that I can bring it home with me when I return to Michigan from New York on Wednesday. Once it runs out in Michigan, will I be able to swap it for a new one? Or do you think...

Has anyone lived off only beer for an extended period of time? I know monks have done it for centuries, and I am thinking of giving it a try. Right now my current thought is starting December 1st and running for two weeks until the 15th. The goal is not to get really drunk, in fact...

I must admit that I didn't find this out myself, RGH was the first. I realized that when he stated that, "Revvy once had a 15 gallon yield in a 20 liter kettle... " I found the similarities to be undeniable. Other things I have heard about Revvy include, but are not limited to: It only...

I am sort of throwing together a recipe on the fly today and was wondering how much oatmeal you actually put into your oatmeal stouts? 5% 10% 30%? I am thinking 'normal' is around 10 or so. But what do you guys do? I am thinking 23% right now. Is this crazy? :ban: If it is, is it a bad...

I started home brewing about 11 months ago. Brewed my first batch 3 days after I turned 21, and I am really enjoying it so far. I have 11 batches under my belt right now, 8 extract, and the last three all grain. My main reason to start brewing was to create something better than the...
