I'm in the process of learning Chinese and they my teachers always want me to talk about my hobbies. Seeing as how homebrewing is one of my favorite things to do(I'm jonesin too, I haven't brewed in almost a year and a half.) I'd like to talk about it. But I find that my homebrewing vocabulary...

I made some shrimp and parmesan ravioli with white sauce. On a side note, this is the first time I've ever tried making my pasta dough from scratch, so we'll see how it turns out. It smells great though, I can't wait to dig in. :)

Found THIS site that sells some pretty powerful neodymium magnets. The smaller ones would be perfect for a stir plate if you can't find an old hard drive to cannibalize. I'm sure that someone will be able to find something to do with the bigger ones. :)

I've seen a lot about pretzels on here so I decided to try my hand at them. I didn't really take pictures of my process but it's pretty easy. Here they are before they baked. And here they are after they got out. Here's my recipe. 16 oz unfiltered beer, room temperature 6...

Why do they have rakes? I always thought the whole point of lautering was to get the grain bed to act as a filter. Wouldn't running a rake through it be counterproductive? Found that on Wikipedia and it sounds to me like it's just to prevent a stuck sparge, but I didn't think that stuck...

I'm drinking with my sister tonight and she doesn't really like a hoppy beer so can you guys suggest anything good?

I have a comment and a question. I'll ask the question first though. All I have is a racking cane, some tubing, and a clamp. I was going to start my siphon by leaving the tube full of sanitizer and starting it like that. Well I drained a few oz into a container, then a cup full for taking a...

I'm fermenting my first batch of homebrew now and to get started I just bought a standard starter kit with a 6.5 gal primary fermenter and it came with a 6.5gal bottling bucket. I started off with a dark honey porter because from what I've read dark beers are more forgiving with off flavors...

I brewed my very first batch yesterday and it's well on it's way in it's fermenter. It's a honey porter kit I bought from http://www.midwestsupplies.com/. I only had one boil over so I count myself blessed. :) I'll probably have a lot of questions so bear with me, I'm new!
