It will be something different and groovy as it this will be our first venture into Europe with our Flights. We want you to...

I'll be around O'hare on May 5th. My 3 day excursion has been whittled to about 36 hours so I've only got a small window to find a good place to have lunch around the airport. I'll also be driving back through IN so Three Floyds is definitely in the running for the return trip. Anyplace good...

Right across the River from Cinti., OH. Feb 6 & 7. Who's going? EVENT INFO

So I've got my 2nd keg sitting on gas right now. My IPA was at 58F when I transfered to the keg. It's set at 11psi at 40F which should give me about 2.4vols of CO2. Now the questions.. 1) at my current temp and pressure it should take about 2 weeks to fully carb right? 2) I've also heard...

Anyone ever have a cornie keg they couldn't get to hold pressure? Looks like 3 of the 4 donated kegs I have leak around the door. I replaced the door O-ring. First I tried 10psi and then 30psi. I've read other posts where people say flip the door around but that won't work on my pin-lock kegs...

Just pulled my first pint on my new kegging system:ban:!! Deeelicious!!! Just wanted to say thanks to all the HBT members who helped me get to this point. I can be...how do you say... a bit dense at times. I raise my glass in honor of you all :mug:

I kegged my first batch on Saturday. I'm going to be carbing at room temp(66-70F) since the only fridge I have I use as my fermentation chamber. I'm going for 2.5 vols CO2 and after checking a carb chart I figured that my pressure should be around 29psi. How long should I leave it at this high...

I have two kegs ready for keggle conversion. One is a 1/2 barrel standard US keg with nothing done to it. The other is a Pilsner Urquell keg with some modifications. My questions are about the Urquell keg: 1)The keg holds 12gal of H2O comfortably. Is this big enough for 10gal batches? I...

:confused: First one I've had do this. The recipe Blueberry Wheat; 7lbs Wheat LME, .25lbs Carafoam, 1oz Hallertau, Saftbrew T-58 dry yeast, OG 1.049. 8 day primary 66-68F. Racked onto 2oz blueberry extract SG 1.016. Noticed scummy brown islands on top of beer in primary at transfer to 2ndary...

I heard the call on this play on the radio tonight and had to see the video. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrI52_2GaZI. That's why I never leave a game early!!

Fellas, the Beer Gods are smiling on me! In the past month I've been given 2 fridges & 4 cornies for free.:ban: Went to Listermann's on Friday and picked up the temp controller. The fridge I got today is immaculate and probably will be my kegerator. The one I got a month ago is a wee bit funky...

Anyone from HBT going? This will be my 1st year attending and I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve :ban: ! 239 keg entries! Ft. Mitchell is about 5mins from downtown Cincinnati. Check here www.bloatarian.org for more info. Hope to see some of you there. RR

Anybody been there? How's the brew? I've never heard too much talk about it. Me and the fam are heading out to Huntington Beach in Aug. to vacation with the inlaws. Disney, deep sea fishing, hiking, and hopefully a day of checking out local brewpubs. Any suggestions for other places to go within...

Thinking of moving to a more seasonal approach to brewing. Gonna have some sort of APA or IPA year round along with Apfelwein or some variation of it. Belgians & Hefe's in the summer. Lagers in the fall, spring, & winter. I'm moving soon with a greater potential for temp control. Just thinking...

Moving soon about 8 miles North to a much better brewhouse. 3 things gained 1) Central Air(temp control), 2) Dishwasher(bottle sanitizing), 3) Garage(Fall & Spring Lagers). :ban: Friggin stoked!!!! Gonna get my keggle together this year and hopefully be keggin by this time next year if not sooner.

Anybody use one of these www.zymico.com/weld-b-gone/ ? I'd like to do this part myself. Thanks RR.

Sat. night at 9 o'clock I fired up the stove and brewed batch #3 Mammy's Sweet Milk Stout(5gal), already bubblin' :ban: ! My most painless brew sesion to date. Woke up Sun. morning and had pigs and pancakes, went to the store, and came back with 6gals of Apple juice. Apfelwein time :mug: . ...

Just bought BEER CAPTURED book by Tess & Mark Szamatulski. Seems like a great book for extract brewers(like myself) but I noticed that they sparge their steeping grains on every brew. I've made just 2 extract w/grains recipes and both times steeped at 150-160F for 30 mins. I just picked up the...
