A representative from wyeast will be coming down to my local home brew shop to talk to the club about nerdy yeast info. I'm very excited about this since yeast for me is the most fascinating aspect of brewing. I'll post some info on the discussion if there is new stuff to talk about. The lecture...

While talking to other homebrewers in clubs, boards, and festivals I like to pick their brains about methods and techniques they use to make better beer. Most of these things have been done by commercial breweries, but I was surprised to learn that the practices are not being carried out by the...

Hey folks, I have been away for the past couple weeks. I took a couple weeks off work to go out and do some fishing. I have been spending the past couple weeks on river banks and lakes looking for the big lunker. I am back now, and brewing a rye IPA as we speak. From the looks of the boards...

My wife has a great blonde ale recipe she brews each spring, and blows whatever I enter in competition out of the water. I've decided to steal her recipe and add a cherry extract at kegging. We will be brewing it on Sunday. I hope I can make this beer half as well as she does. --- I am here...

She drained the rest of the keg of her Russian imperial stout at 10.2% I'd say .20 --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.497501,-120.853025

In the morning a co-worker is coming by because he's interested in learning to brew. He made a Mr. Beer kit a couple weeks ago, and is ready to learn what homebrewing is all about. He picked up an APA extract kit, so my wife and I will teach him the basics of extract kit brewing. His yeast...

I just heard an interview from Moor Beer Company located in England on the brewing network, and they seemed pretty squared away. I'm curious if my British brewing brethren have tried much of their beer, and if so what do you think? Unfortunately their beer hasn't made it to the US yet, but...

I'm brewing a smoked porter tomorrow. I'm actually excited, for this is my first attempt at a smoked beer. My wife threw the starter on the stir plate last night, and I'm fixing to smoke my malt. I'm using 2 pounds American 2 row malt and smoking it over hickory in my smoke pit.

This discussion covers bottling from an already carbonated corny keg. There are two methods I use depending on the situation. As you are probably well aware once you start kegging bottling beer just seems to be a time vampire. However; we always have friends and family who ask for samples of...

I just saw on Facebook my local shops are taking pre-orders for rhizomes in a couple weeks. The wife and I plan to buy 4 cascade plants for the backyard, and let the climb up the fence, over a lattice, and back down the adjacent fence making a nice hop canopy over one end of the yard. Cascade...

I couldn't find a mead thread, so I figured I would toss this in here. Are there any experienced mead makers milling about? My wife and made our first mead, and I'm Drinking it now, but I was looking for some advice on our second one. Mainly how do you get it to clear up? I racked it after...

Just curious who's brewing this weekend. There is nothing like huddling around the burners, listening to the brewing network, and talking to other brewers. Saturday we are kegging my oaked double IPA and my wife's oaked RIS. Sunday we are brewing my wife's steam beer. It's supposed to be cold...

My wife just learned I'm poking around the British forums, and asked me to ask the experts for English pub ale or ESB recipes. She loves the styles, but about the only commercial example we have over here is Bottingtons. This will need to be all grain single infusion mash and a total post boil...

It's finally healed, and I must say I'm quite happy with the results.

As the title says I'm just curious to see what others are brewing on. I will post mine.

Hello fellow brewers, I am brand new to this board, and my wife and I have been brewing for about 8 years now. We, like most others started with extract batches, and about 6 years ago moved to all grain on a B3 B1100 sculpture. We are from California, and belong to the BN Army, AHA, and a few...
