Re: Hombrew Alley 2025

I know from helping with a couple of local competitions that there are several factors such as availability of location needed for judging, conflicts with other beer/homebrewing related events, availability of judges and stewards. We've had to move around one competition quite a few times.

Re: What are you brewing/bottling/kegging?

Brewed a S'mores Stout a few weeks ago for a Winter Homebrew Fest. It turned out pretty nice. I mashed with graham crackers and cocoa power and I torched the marshmallows before throwing them into the boil. Next up is an Oberon clone.

My new Anvil Foundry Rig

Okay, so as I mentioned in another tread I finally after all these years of piecing together my BIAB brewing stuff I splurged on a new Anvil Foundry 10.5 gallon brewing system. It showed up on Saturday while I was at a homebrew festival so I didn't get to unbox or put it together until Monday. Once ...

Re: Grain Father

Just had the Foundry delivered yesterday. Just in time for my birthday! I did some assembly today, read the manual, and heated it up to get a feel for the controls. Hopefully I spend some more time with it tomorrow. I'll post more once I get more hands on.

There's only 1 theme available right now. Still working on some things in the background but a light theme is on the to do list.

Re: WE'RE BACK

Is the TapaTalk still active? I usually use that on my phone. Somehow, the BeerBorg link got deleted and now it doesn't show up in any of my searches? Tapatalk shut down the feed when the forum was down for more than a week. Once I'm sure everything is working here I'll get Tapatalk re-connected. T...

Re: What are you brewing/bottling/kegging?

That's quite the chiller you got there Leigh! Homemade? Yeah I made that years ago. I made the mistake of buying straight line 1/2” copper then realize that it was too difficult to bend so I got out the torch and a bunch of 90° elbows and there you have my hip to be square wort chiller.

Re: What are you brewing/bottling/kegging?

Two weekends in a row now I've brewed. Last one was a SMaSH with El Dorado hops and Maris otter grain. And today I brewed my Citra-nilla vanilla IPA with citra hops of course and the vanilla bean will go in in the secondary. It felt good to get the brew pot going again. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn....

Re: Check it out, I was on the Michigan Brews Podcast

This was actually my second appearance on the show. The first was episode 10. It's really a fun group to hang out with.

Check it out, I was on the Michigan Brews Podcast

I was a guest on the Michigan Brews podcast last night where we talked about the Michgan Homebrew Fest, brewing gang beer and sharing the craft of homebrewing.

BrewVide anyone?

So I did a thing today. I put a deposit on this BrewVide system . I really thought about getting a Mash and Boil or a Robobrew/Brewzilla system but there was always something that just held me back from pulling the trigger. I have a lot brewing equipment including brew pots that I really like and th...
