Since Sophie wasn’t at home during the zoom Saturday we didn’t draw. I’m thinking tonight at 7 pm eastern. A quick draw and meet up. Only 3 left in the jar. I’m thinking Tonight draw 1 and in September draw the last 2. Names left: @Donoroto @Craigerrr @Megary Josh Hughes is inviting you to...

Maybe we’ll see more Fullers? https://www.brewbound.com/pr/2026/04/16/total-beverage-solution-named-exclusive-us-importer-for-fullers-brewery

I forgot about this last night. I’ll have Sophie draw in the next day or so. I’ll send a zoom link out when I find the jar :)

Having a St. Patrick’s day party tomorrow. I’ll have my Irish stout and Smiddicks on tap. I will also have some Strongbow for my brother, Jameson, and Bailey’s. If needed my Franconian lager is good to go as well. I’m making Shepherds Pie and a bread pudding. Others bringing some sides. I’ll...

Larry @BarbarianBrewer you are the chosen one to begin 2026

I’ll get Sophie to draw a name later. I wanted to share the status of the jar. Only 4 names left in the jar. @BarbarianBrewer @Ward Chillington @Donoroto @Craigerrr If I have mistakenly left a name out of the jar let me know. I think this is a pretty good final 4 :) 2027 we’ll made everyone...

So I got something for you all. I brewed a Bitter Saturday. Pretty normal brew day except some bad math led to more wort than needed resulting in a higher OG. I boiled some water and dissolved some extra brown sugar, I was going to add per my recipe anyway, just added more. I saved half a liter...

How much did everyone brew In 2025? For me,12 batches. This is less than normal for me. I did move and a few batches were larger meaning I was stocked up longer. Helles 4 Dunkel 2 Pilsner 1 Irish Stout 1 Marzen 1 Festbier 1 Bitter 1 British brown 1

Brew day tomorrow. Not going after RO water. I have campden tablets. I have 2 gallons of RO and I’ll need 2-3 gallons of tap water which I’ll treat with campden. I have no idea about my tap water in terms of ppm of minerals. It is hard but not sure how hard. Nothing online. I do know the water...

I’m planning to brew a 5 gallon batch, I usually do 3. Think I’m going to double mash Saturday so I can do a 5 gallon batch. My biab kettle doesn’t hold the grain for 5 gallons without spilling the good stuff. I figured I would use the salts for the full mash and put 6 gallons of water in...

I wanted to pick one that ticks a lot of marks for me. Dunkels are one of my favorites and a go to if I see it in tap somewhere. This is also a good beer for those who like a darker beer in the fall/winter. This is a brew that always seems to turnout good for me. Enough that my only tweaks to it...

My brother has a co worker who grows cascade. He doesn’t brew or normally pick them for someone who does. My brother left them near his A/C but in a plastic bag all weekend and brought them to me today. When I rub them there is a nice fragrance. Some of them look great others not so much. What...

It’s getting close to that time of year! Figured we needed a thread for people to post the festivities they will host or attend. Waaaay too early but my first one is this weekend. Maysville KY does theirs the second weekend in August each year. I’ll post pic Saturday or Sunday depending on...

Happy Canada day to our Canadian brewers!

@Yontsey you were drawn. Give us your recipe. Especially since I was drawn as the backup. :)

This is a new one that my fermzilla should prevent but here we are. My spunding valve shows no pressure buildup after 3 days. I have take. It off a reassembled. I even popped it on a keg with pressure and the dial moved. The gas post whistled when I added some gas, I was just trying to see...

So I found the jar after the meeting was over. Let’s draw it tomorrow. I’ll send out a zoom link and time tomorrow. @Yontsey I’ll add you
