you have been busy... All I have done is drink lots of beer... LOL. I did bottle the April Fool's IPA a week ago and brewed two 5 gallon batches at the same time. You know I don't have a clue about beer contests...???
Newbie from the Searcy area here! I've got one bottle left out of my first batch of homemade root beer in the fridge. I used an extract for flavoring with a mix of white and brown sugar, and bottle conditioned it using Lavalin EC-1118 dry champagne yeast. Once I figure out what tweaks I want to make it won't be long till I start working on Batch #2, I'm sure. Then I'll work on different flavors. ^^
Eventually, I'll move from sodas to low-gravity beers, but I think I'll need some more space to work with first. The kitchen of a small 1-bedroom apartment just doesn't seem practical for full-fledged homebrewing, I'm afraid.
Hey everybody - I've been brewing for a few years and moved to Little Rock a couple years ago. I usually brew by myself but would love to brew with some likeminded folks. How often does everyone brew? And what do people enjoy brewing/drinking?
Nice! Thanks for the welcome Bob. Question - what's yellow beer?

Yeah it hurts to sell it! I only hope it all finds a good home!
Thanks, saw it but have not gone there yet.I go to fermentables. The only other store I know of is the water buffalo in LR.
Been there and like it, just wanted to what others thought.I live in Benton, and use Fermentables almost exclusively. There is nothing "wrong" with the Water Buffalo, but I will say I have to drive past it and continue driving for another 10min to get to Fermentables. From Conway, it seems like a no brainer. Straight down 40 with an easy on/off at MacArthur to end up at a well stocked shop with a knowledgeable staff.
I like it. I looked at one similar, used, and talked to a friend. Basically with electric, like me, the stainless soaks up heat so put some wood under them (NO paint or sealer or it will stick to your pot). Mineral oil should be fine. My friend went high end with a soapstone top.I like either place, but end up ordering a lot of stuff online.
What do ya'll think about this cheap stainless table for a brew stand? Currently ordering everything I need to get this electric setup going, will be supporting about 250 lbs max.

I ordered 2 BrewPi' s and they are shipping from Netherlands today. I have my Raspberry pi ready to install Docker once my toyz arrive ~ 6 days via FedEx.I am wanting to build a brewtroller from a Pi, just need to get off my ass and write the code, I have most of the hardware and everything else for this electric brewing project.
YES on the Ham, Extra. Elco has had ups and downs over the last 3-4 years. I will be glad to see him get the brewing system up and running, for distribution. My first issue was that if you are fermenting and want to brew it won't work. But once he gets it running you will only need 1 BrewPi Sparc 3 and one Raspberry pi dedicated to brewing (cannot use the same system for both). Also he already has the one wire interfaces for valves and SSRs. In all fairness he was a one man shop for a long time, so I will be glad when he finds a full time code pounder he is happy with. When I had my BrewPi ver. 1 running it was so sweet to check both chambers with a browser. Also you can program your cold crash to 2 degrees a day without going out to tweek the temperature controller.I read up on the Brew Pi and noticed it's mainly for fermentation but they are working on a full brewing system. It looks really slick though.
I just noticed your a ham?
