    E-BIAB Brewery resurrection

    A couple years ago our brewery had the worst disaster short of a fire...sewer back up leaving behind 3 inches of wall to wall poo. It was so discouraging that we stopped brewing for the longest time only getting back into it recently using a friends brewery. After brewing several batches of...

    BIAB Homebrew tasting night

    Cowbrau Heifer Weizen, bottled two weeks. Tastes amazing, I'd put it up against any commercial wheat and rate it even or higher. First time using BIAB and no chill. Combine that with obsessive/compulsive sanitation, medical grade O2 aeration and real wort starter on a stir plate overnight and...

    Painfully obvious I haven't bottled in years

    My regulator shot craps so I'm bottling a Kolsch for us and a wheat for a buddy who helped build my brewery. I think everything is going great. SWMBO is filling and I'm capping. We're going along at a nice little clip when I notice the pan of priming sugar water sitting on the shelf. Ack...

    Makes me smile

    I've been brewing since 1988 and I still can't walk by a full carboy without staring at it and smiling. Left to right is a Wheat, Kolsch and Pale Ale. Bottling the wheat and kegging the other two tomorrow.

    Proposed change in KS microbrewery law

    HB 2759 proposes to eliminate the residency requirement for the issuance of a microbrewery license. Seems like a pretty targeted change. I would assume someone from out of state is pushing this so they can open a brewery.

    The ultimate blingiest BIAB kettle

    First eBIAB breakdown

    I think I had way too many firsts last Sunday. First brew in the new brewspace, first use of a new eBIAB keggle, first batch brewed on an electrical system period, first use of a new grain mill (Millars mill…ehhh) first time BIAB brewing, first wheat beer, first no chill. It was a very odd brew...

    Something going on today?

    Went to the liquor store last night to get some beer for brew day today (firing up in about an hour) and the place was packed. Is there some kind of sportsball event today?:cross:

    Plate chiller placement help

    I want to gravity feed from the keggle to the PC. I know that works, but can the PC then gravity feed to the carboy if the PC is mounted below as shown by the black square on the stand? Would it need to be mounted at an angle? I'll have about a four inch drop between keggle and PC. The carboy...

    Simcoe characteristics

    I've never used them, but all the buzz about Simcoe hops has me intrigued. Can someone point me to a commercial brew that uses Simcoe and would provide the best flavor and aroma example of this hop?

    Cowbrau eBIAB brewery build

    I literally haven't brewed in the 2 years since we moved into this old house. Any work has been done on the secret hidden mancave (See build thread here ) or on the 1000 different things needing done on a 130 year old house. My plan was a single tier electric set up in the basement. Because...

    Best movie of all time

    I sat through a Godfather marathon today and it just reinforced in my mind that the Godfather is the best movie of all time. The best song about a movie (not "from" but about) has to be Ode to Fredo. If you're a Godfather fan, you'll catch all the references. This song is great because it...

    Portland Brewpub quest

    My daughter, quite improbably, picked Portland State to go to school. We're going up there next week (Wed. - Sat.) for her freshman orientation, and since we have to eat every day, we might as well eat at a brew pub, right?!?! I know that Portland is the brewpub capital of the world, what...

    Weston Brewery

    Any Missouri or Northeast Kansas HBT'ers familiar with this brewery in Weston Missouri? I bought a mixed 6 pack of some of their stuff (Lager, Irish Brown and Irish Bitter) yesterday and was less than impressed. The Lager and Bitter had a sour aftertaste. The Brown was drinkable, but...
