^pick one^ ;) It's likely no surprise that the New England IPA garners my attention more than any other style. I have six taps and half of them are pouring NEIPAs since 2019... Cheers!

Definitely not seeing sub-$3 dry yeast here. US-05 locally is $4.99. BRY-97 locally is $5.99. Cheers!

lol! I totally read that backwards. Carry on! :D

Hop growing is 90% maximizing direct sunlight. They do not like shade at all. The rest is keeping predators (mites and aphids) at bay until harvest is done... Cheers!

Bruins really tested my cardiac health tonight but they (and I) managed to hold on in the end with the Bruins winning Game 5 2-1 in a pretty rugged outing for both teams. And Swayman proved he is still the goalie for this team with a crazy good performance, especially during the 3 minutes at the...

Greetings, @Aboutsik. Welcome to the forums at Homebrew Talk :mug: You likely can't see this from your end but this is what I see viewing your post. Looks like you need to open the access rights to have those images appear to "us"... As to your problem, I never ran into anything similar. I...

Man, looks like a bunch of butts. Back when I was heating a house with 6 cords of long length wood per year I'd have passed on those as hard as possible :oops: Cheers (and hope you have the hydraulic splitter I never had)

Dry-hopped two batches/four carboys. No big whoop :) Then (OT) subjected myself to the hottest day of 2024 to see if I could manage the rototiller in the veggie garden (I could) and then turn a couple of inches in between the foundation plantings (pita but got that done, too). Managed not to...

One side is a bit smoother than the other but in any case it wouldn't seem out of place as a fridge door liner. And check to see if they have pre-cut 1/2 or 1/4 panels in their "hobby panel" section... Cheers!

The underlying question is interesting: do these brew day calculators use the expected liquor temperatures when defining volumes to be used - or are all volumes at room temperature - or something else? Cheers!

I do 10 gallon batches. The equivalent 6-pack cost these days (excluding propane and electricity) ranges from roughly $4 to $5.30 for most recipes, with my double imperial chocolate stout ringing in at $8.81 a 6-pack ($155.65 batch cost :oops:). My base malt cost is just over $1/pound for the...

See if they have these FRP panels... https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-16-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-Plastic-Panel-63003/202090190#ratings-and-reviews Cheers!

"modified" as applied to malting grain is essentially how long the grain is allowed to sprout (as measured by acrospire length vs grain length) before it is kilned to stop the growing process. Generally the longer the acrospire the greater the "modification". The malting process develops the...

Ok, but I'm not vouching for the sketchy af Columbus story ;)

"The rest of the story"? 😁
