    I fear, that when I die, my wife will sell my brewing equipment for what I told her I paid for it.

    Over cooked potato chips

    Late night drunken ramblings... I really like those potato chips that somehow went through the frier twice. Or perhaps got stuck past the normal time. You know, the dark chips that you might find two or three of in a bag. Tasty, and rich in melenoidins. If some company would package a whole bag...

    Colorado St. Fair Hombrew Competition

    Been thinking of entering a few this year. Anyone else from Colorado thinking about it. Nosybear, you going this year? I can't be there for the judging, so if I should win something, I guess I'd have to have it mailed to me. I can drop the beers off at The Brew Hut, but as far as I know that's...

    Farewell to an old friend.

    Today I kegged my Rye Lager, and due to minor health problems ( I cant walk for another month), my fermenters are dry. For the first time in years, both carboys are sitting unproductively in the basement awaiting their masters return to action. As I have nine kegs full, or mostly full, I'm not...

    Baseball in Colorado

    Spring time in the Rockies. The boys of summer are all prepared to play some ball, and then this: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2459 ... ed-in-snow The only bright spot is, that the way the Rockies are playing, this is a blessing. They suck, but at least they are not the Cubs!

    Deadly brew?

    Check this out: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/bad-b ... ue-n284441 Sounds like it might be something in the beer, or perhaps the beer is being used as an excuse for some thing else causing the deaths. Weird.

    New product: Replacement keg valve

    If you keg beer, you may have seen these old type of relief valves commonly called "dome valves". What do you do if they start to leak? They are made of plastic and have an internal mechanism that is sealed and cannot be replaced. You got to replace the entire dome. Fine. However, they are no...

    Reusing yeast over many generations

    Just read this from our good friend Nosybear, http://appliedzymurgy.com/2014/10/29/an ... xperiment/ And It got me thinking. I regularly re use my yeast for about 10 generations, before tossing it and starting out fresh. This has worked well for me, as I wash and re pitch at proper rates, and...

    Oktoberfest competition

    That time of year again. Oktoberfest/Marzen competition at the Brew Hut. Nosy, you got any to submit? I thought I'd give it a go. May even sneak in a Vienna lager and see what happens. https://www.facebook.com/events/1456508691275624/

    Hopped Starter

    I tried something new tonight. While making a 2 liter starter in an Erlenmeyer flask, I recalled hearing about a micro brewer who would toss in a handful of hops as the wort came to a boil to prevent a boil over. Now I don't have a problem with boil over in my brew kettle ( Thank you, electric...

    Snooker players?

    Not exactly a brewing topic, but I was wondering if there were any snooker players in the BF community. I am currently setting up a 10 foot Gandy in the basement. As this will double as a brewing room I guess it is appropriate.
