    Brewzilla? Anyone have one and can give some advice?

    The time has come. I'm about ready to go small, and so 5ish gallon batches from now on. My big system is just too big, too much, too heavy, and I'm ready to downsize. I rarely do larger batches these days and I love the idea of an all-in-one. I saw a Grainfather in action a few years ago...

    My brewery is ugly…….

    But it makes great beer! I could have put at least a couple more pounds of grain in the MLT! It’s an homage to the older iterations of Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. Bittered with chinook, heavily hopped with centennial, it will be dryhopped with plenty of cascade and some centennial hops...

    Great places to grab a good beer in Maui (Lahaina) or Honolulu?

    I’m going to be gone for a good bit, first in Maui, then in Honolulu and then to an undisclosed location for about 5 days. Or so. I will spend about 5 days in Maui, and would love to find great beer while there. As long as my friend can get a glass of wine, that is. Any ideas, especially...

    Fixed old 525 perlick leaking.....

    I have older (original 2000 era I think!) Perlicks, and one had a little leak near the collar. I googled it, and the first post that came up was from Homebrewtalk.com fro 2011. Sure enough, even though the link to the parts list was long outdated, one of the posters had a photo of the parts...

    Sorry for my absence- but I’m back now!

    I was gone to Florida for a bit (it was 96F most days!) and worked on my house, went out scalloping, off swimming in the springs, went to Disney World……and got Covid. I’m perfectly fine now, but between the trip and being incredibly busy with my house, and then getting sick I was pretty...

    Buy It Now Button Temporarily Discontinued

    I know that many of our users love the 'buy it now' option in the Recipe Builder and find it very convenient. Unfortunately, our US supplier has gone off-line and we had to remove that option temporarily. We are actively looking for a new long-term partner to move forward with, and are hoping...

    Still in Alaska, but back to a bit of civilization!

    We’ve got showers and internet, here in Valdez. Beautiful time completely off-the-grid with no signs of other humans anywhere at all, but it feels great to be back to running water! LOTS of fish, a few bears, sea lions, sea otters, seals, porpoise- but no whales spotted. We have a cooler full...
