This is going to be a blast from the past, but does anybody have a recipe for Pete's Gold Coast Lager? This was one of the first beers I tried from Pete's back in 1992, before he sold out and things went down hill. It's been a long time, but I remember it being a very tasty brew.

Ok, I've been doing AG for about 6 or 7 years and have always fly sparged. I had the opportunity when I got into AG to buy a system from Morebeer and it came set up for fly sparging, so that's what I did. Well, last night I was mashing in a 5.5 gallon batch of porter and decided, let's...

So, I started kegging this year and it has probably been the best upgrade I've made since going AG. I started out by taking half of the fridge in the garage and squeezing a 5# CO2 tank and 2 kegs with Picnic taps into it. This proved to be be handy, but sorta messy. The picnic taps would...

So my old mill died and I decided to buy the Monster Mill MM-3. I ordered it several weeks ago and it came in within a couple of days of the order. I built a mill table and hopper that you can see here. Well, I finally got around to brewing with it a couple of days ago and I gotta say it...

Ok, So my 7 year old grain gobler mill finally bit the dust and I decided I needed a replacement. So, after shopping around and trying to decide what I wanted, I settled on the new Monster Mill MM-3. I ordered last Wednesday and received and email from Fred that he would ship it out of Friday...

Ok, so I was over at my sister's house this weekend and she had a couple of these in the fridge that someone had brought over and left. It was... um, unique. I'm not sure how they got the sweaty taste into it, but it did have sort of a salty sweaty taste. Has anybody else tried this? Was...

I brewed up a Wit awhile back and put it into my fridge this past week. Taste is great and the carbonation level seems good, but I'm not getting any real head or head retention with it. It will have a head on it only if I try and pour a head (not tilting the glass) but it will have large CO2...

I just finished brewing a Tripple recipe that I've been wanting to make and even with 3#'s of candy sugar I missed my og by 13 points. On top of that, I set up my herms system (which I never use) and my efficiency still sucked. It took forever to heat the mash from one step to the next. The...

I'm looking for a good Budvar recipe. I found HB99'rs recipe and it looks like a good start. Anybody else have one they would like to share?

Hi all, I've got a bunch of wit yeast left over and thought about using it in a saison. I know it's not the typical yeast, but I have it and need to use it and want something different than a wit. Anyway take a look and let me know your thoughts. thanks Change of Saison A ProMash...

So, I'm starting to think about motorizing my mill. I have a grain gobler that I bought from morebeer 6 or 7 years ago. I'm thinking of picking up a little kitchen cart with a butcher block top from Target (see this, ) cutting a hole in the top and mounting the mill to it. If I move the...

So my fermentation fridge died and left me in the lurch. I decided that I wanted to be able to ferment more than a 10 gallon batch and would need to find space to fit multiple fermenters. Luckily I have a closet in my garage very close to where I do all of my brewing. It is under a set of...

Ok, I've got a ghetto keg setup with two kegs and CO2 can in my fridge with picnic taps attached. I've been running this setup for several months now with nary a problem. I finally emptied the CO2 and had it refilled today. Hooked it up and now notice that after pouring a pint that l am...

So I got a few folks together and we put together a bulk grain order which arrived yesterday. We loaded the entire pallet onto my 8x10 utility trailer and hauled it over to one of the guys garages for distribution. I forgot to take a picture of the pallet on my little trailer, but I did get...

Not to start a big debate, but I just saw this article about the rising theft of commercial kegs. It's a interesting read. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19562843

Ok, so my old trusty True refrigerator that I use for my fermenters has either died or is about to. I have a closet in my garage that I am thinking about turning into a small walk-in cooler to use for fermentation and conditioning. Its plenty big enough once I clear all the junk out of it...

But my In-laws rock! They have always been very helpful and even helped us move our household cross country. Dad-in-law is a great handyman and fixes things up when they come to visit. He's even helped me brew several times. Anyway, my wife called them yesterday to wish Mom-in-law a happy...
