This one was a little different from my normal homebrew day. I’ve worked in the taproom for about 8 years at a local brewery in RI. The company’s 10th anniversary is coming up in December and I was called upon to design a recipe. It was approved and I was able to go in and brew on the pilot...

Just dropping in to say hi after a summer that was short, crazy, a rollercoaster, busy, and much needed all at the same time. There were some things that kept me away more than I would've liked but at the same time I spent some much needed time with the family and have now been consumed with...

Anyone else have this issue? I can get to the main welcome page, but when I try to access the community/forums it says page could not be loaded, or certificate is not from a trusted source. I’ve tried both chrome and safari. No idea what changed. I can only access it on my phone.

Just dropping in to say howdy to all! Life has been busy and hectic and it’s kept me away from here more than I’d like, but that’s….life? Hope all is well with everyone. I hear the vherf calling my name again one of these nights very soon. Cheers to all! Greg

Don’t know why this didn’t dawn on me before, but If any of you guys are nearby Manchester NH my band is playing at The Goat on granite street tonight starting at 9! Just throwing it out there! Cheers!

Hoping any of you brothers in the southeast are staying safe. Looking pretty crazy right now out there.

Well damn! Looks like today is my 10 year anniversary here. Holy crap! Thanks for the wealth of knowledge and kindness over the past 10 years. This really is one hell of a place. Hope you all have a healthy and happy 2021. Greg

Figured I’d kick it off! I’m not as adept at reviewing spirits as other things but I know what I like and this is it. Auchentoshan Three Wood Nose: rich peat smoke and honey/hay and that classic phenolic scotch tinge. taste: fantastic. Smooth, smoky, peat, iodine, with a great lingering sweet...

Ok, everyone! The moment you've all been waiting for! Basic rules (some of my own/some taken from other passes because they're just great pass etiquette): 1. When you receive the pass, please do an inventory and make sure everything is there and numbered correctly. Post any needed corrections...

Hey All, The pass game seems to have been gaining some steam again around here and I love it. Really I think its because we all need some fun in our lives these days. That being said, I would like to try my hand at hosting a fun/easy pass. I've highly enjoyed the "I just want it to be fun"...

"So why the hell not?" I just thought to myself... Why the hell not what, you may ask? Why not post up the recipes I've just recently come up with! I haven't actually tasted either of these yet, except for a progress check sip of the first. But if that is any indication of how it'll turn...

Been a while! Anyone brewing anything good? To celebrate the end of what was probably my most challenging year in teaching I'm brewing a NEIPA today! Anyone else?

Anyone here know anything about Mac computers? I have a Macbook which gives me the dreaded "Startup disk almost full" message everyday. When I open the storage menu most of the space is taken up by "other." When I restart it does free up some space which leads me to believe that some of it is...

Well shoot! Looks like today is my 10th anniversary as a member of this fine community! Thank you to Rod for all you've done, and thank you to all of you as well for making this the wonderful place it is!

Hello fellow brewers- Has this ever happened to anyone? So I entered the NEIPA I brewed into two categories in the local home brew competition this past weekend. I entered it as 21B7 which is the new NEIPA category and 21A. Now I expected the scores to be a little off in 21A as its really...

Wondering if anyone might have some insight- Got a natural gas fired central heating system controlled by a Honeywell Lyric T5 "smart" thermostat. Just noticed today that twice the thermostat said "heating" and yet the system was not doing so. Tried bumping the temperature up and nothing...

So last week we got some snow and apparently the plow driver went down the street a little carelessly and about 4 of my neighbors lost their mailboxes. I was thinking to myself how much of a pain in the ass it was going to be for them to file claims with the city to get them replaced. Well now...

Anyone brewing anything good lately? I'm shooting for a single hop IPA using the new Sabro hop. I tried it a few months ago and something went horribly wrong and I had a pretty nasty chlorophenol situation so I had to dump it. Trying again, adjusting the grain bill a bit and seeing what...

Just curious, What do you fellow home brewers do with your spent grain? I recently moved and don't really have a good compost setup currently, which is what I used to do. I also don't brew frequently enough to set up any kind of partnership with a farm or anything like that, so I'm currently...

Wondering if any of you home brewers have any luck with designing labels for your homebrew? I'm brewing a beer for my sister's rehearsal dinner and thought it might be cool to have some kind of commemorative label. I've stumbled upon a few "design your own" type sites, so I was looking for...
