I call my brews "Bad Moon Brewing" thanks to a nickname I got from my unit based on my last name and that song by CCR. Okay a nickname based on your unit? :lol: :lol: :lol: I've heard of your unit having a nickname, but never the other way around!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: P.S. I'm really...

Soon after I started brewing my wife was asking me what I was going to call my brewery. Now most of you know I'm a retired K-9 cop hence my forum name, so I could have went with the obvious ones like Canine brew, Dog and Leash brew or even plain Ol' Doggone Brew. No I went a different path, I dubbed...

Welcome aboard Oatmeal! One the pinball side of things, if your ever here in Vegas there is a place called the Pinball Hall of Fame! It is by far one of the coolest places on the planet. As a video game junkie of the 70's and on I have many a fond memory of dropping my allowance one quarter at a tim...

Didn't see the first page redid it and I am Mad Morty Cash!!! Sorry GWCR we're still related!!

What is the difference, if any, between using oat meal and oat flakes? I used oat flakes in my oatmeal milk stout and all I did was toss them into the mash. It seems like all you would have to do is steep those for 20 minutes and it would be a lot less complicated. Though I might be missing somethi...

If you use pre-gelatinized rolled oats (think quick cooking oatmeal, but not instant oatmeal) and you are looking for body/mouthfeel from it and not all the fermentable sugars possible, then you can get away with just boiling the quick oats for 5-10 minutes or so and then pulling the bag they are i...

Dave, sorry been MIA from the BORG for awhile and missed out on the collab. If you want we can partner up since you got left out. I'm itching to brew again as I've been on a break during the Vegas heat. Let me know, if not that's cool too no pressure.

Interesting weather stat this morning. If you combine the total rainfall for Cedar Rapids and Iowa City this month, it is less than Las Vegas... To be fair this is our Monsoon season, so it's the ONLY time of the year we get rain, but is kinda scary to think a desert is getting more rain than a sta...

As most everyone knows I'm here in Vegas. I don't have a lot of free time, but if your ever here let me know and we can try to hook up for a brew! Lots of great places here to grab a hard to find craft brew, so even if we can't get together I can point you in the right direction for a great beer!! ...

Hmmm...Going to be in Vegas in mid-Oct... Ohhhh NOOOOO!! Could it be a Hawkeye reunion?!? If you remember GWCR I grew up in Iowa in a little town called Afton. My folks still live there and my brother lives in Des Moines. I am a life long Hawkeye fan (unfortunately don't get to see much of them out...

Hite is pretty good light beer from Korea... Goes down real good with japchae or bulgogi! If your ever in Vegas I can make you some of the best bulgogi EVER!! I begged and begged my favorite restaurant owner in Korea for a whole year to give me the recipe and he kept telling me, "No! It's an a...
