Just got back from a discussion at the local library with John Kimmich, the owner and brewmaster for The Alchemist brewery. Very cool - and he brought Heady Toppers for everyone! Happened to see a flyer for the talk at the local grocery store, or I never would have known about it.

Building my own house! My own two hands, plus a handful of hours of friend labor paid in beer. I've been toying with the notion of doing a 'build' thread but it's not really a beer related topic, unless you consider that it's really just a big container for the Keezer v2.0!!

I hate to do it, but it has to go. Here it is before adding the last two taps: And after: See the build thread here. The only part not included in the sale is the manifold. I'm keeping that for Keezer v2. $600, no delivery ;)

Stole the image from the Frothingslosh "Stale Pale Ale" label that inspired the name "Stale Male Pale Ale."

Didn't see this posted elsewhere - if it's a repost, sorry http://www.wcax.com/global/story.asp?s=12964116 Not that I ever particularly liked Magic Hat's beers...

Just brought it home an hour ago - holy hell what a lot of fun this thing is!!!

I thought I had found all the leaks in my manifold - pressure holding for well over a month, no bubbles when sprayed. Then I go to keg up some brew last night, and when I go to grab some CO2 to purge headspace - nada, zero, zip for pressure. Dead CO2 bottle. DAMN!!!!

Holy hell, that is good stuff! If you get the chance, I highly recommend trying it. :mug:

Here's one for an IIPA I am planning on brewing soon Looks a little fuzzy here, but prints out beautifully. :mug:

Just arrived this afternoon. :ban: The box has another 40 lbs of grain - all told it was 139 pounds of brewing goodness.

Ok guys, let's start trying to find a date that works! I'm thinking maybe start on a Saturday evening with some consumption, and start brewing in the AM on Sunday. :mug:

After a really disappointing interaction with my LHBS store, I finally gave up on them. Some really crappy attitude, from one of the owners, no less. It was too bad, because I like supporting the local businesses when I can. I even continued to shop there when the price of gas round trip...

Ok, so I usually just keg things, but Red asked me to brew up some raspberry wheat as a b-day gift for a friend of hers. It'll be bottled, so I figured I needed a label! Here is my first pass at it. Some beer and brewery info will go in the grey box on the right. Let me know what you...

luVjkTEIoJc Edit: Umm, wtf. Thought I knew how to do this! here's the full link

My brew table... My tree stand...

Ok, so it's not carbed fully, but it sure does taste good! Thanks to Walker-San for posting the recipe back in '05!! :ban:

Been meaning to post this for a while in honor of your screen name... It's a 65 J3000 1 ton.

Ugh, So yesterday the plan was to brew up 10 delicious gallons of EdWort's HPA. I was going to start heating my strike water around 10 am. Instead, I overslept and didn't even start getting my gear together until after noon! In addition to the regular activities of brewing, I had to...

So, I haven't had any time to put in on the Keezer™, but I needed to serve up some suds for a pool tournament I was hosting. Here is the uglyness that followed: 2 2x4 pieces, and some spare pipe insulation. Looked bad, worked great! I just drilled a beerline sized hole in the lid where...
