I was in the grocery store today and saw an old-school looking box of Pepsi soda. Turns out it's this limited time offering of Pepsi made with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. I picked some up and wow it tastes so much better than regular Pepsi. Anyone else hear/try this? I know...

Why oh why is the end of the keg so good? Should I deny what this beer could? Here I am looking at a perfectly clear, beautiful glass of homebrew beer. It's awesomely tasty, clean, crisp, and not made hastily. Yet it's not too long before the keg runs out, With very little doubt, This is...

I sent out 5 bottles of my session ale, and 1 bottle of some apfelwein. Recipients are: Pirate Ale SuperiorBrew Chillhayze The session ale is a light blond ale. I carbonated it low due to a mistake on my gyling calculations, but the flavor is consistent with what it usually comes out to. The...

Well, I decided to build a kegerator (standard 2 homebrew kegs, sanyo 4912). So for the past few weeks I've been purchasing all the kegs, CO2 cylinder, regulator, etc. Today I had all the required parts, except for two things: My CO2 tank is empty of course, since it's new. Still needed...

I was planning on brewing my first somewhat-authentic hefe-weisen today. I went for it and chose Wyeast 3333 (German Wheat). Yesterday I went to work on the starter; here's what happened: I smacked the pack, and let it sit at room temp (~73F) for approx 4.5 hours. Very little to no swelling...

I just cracked open a bottle of my latest IPA that's been conditioning for a week. Holy crap, this tastes good. Really, really good. No astringency, perfectly balanced bitterness, awesome mouthfeel, so satisfying after you swallow it. I can't believe I created this glass of pure awesome. This...

Hey everyone. Just got into homebrewing about a month or so ago (on a whim). Now I'm falling into the addiction extremely fast. Since I'm pretty limited on space (apartment dweller) I've taken a step back and decided to do 1 gallon baby batches. My idea is that it will allow me to experiment...
