Lucky, lucky b***ard!!!!

Congrats to all the winners and competitors. We were hoping to place in all 4 categories we entered but given this was our first time entering a comp ever, I'll take the bronze for the raspberry wheat. It was the first fruit ale I ever brewed and was so problematic from the time the fruit made its a...

As Papazian made a fortune out of this mantra, I'll repeat it: Don't worry; have a homebrew. Honestly, what you think are problems now are correctable in future batches. Secondly, you'll wonder how you can replicate this recipe again. I made a pilsner for my first batch...totally awestruck with the ...

Would have loved to attend but we're actually brewing in the Mancave on Sunday. I like Brewtime though; we get most, if not all, of our ingredients from them.

Have fun folks!

It will still make beer. Relax. That being said, trying to use a stock pot and a stove for mashing does not sound like the greatest idea (I have tried it myself a long time ago). A converted cooler works much better. I agree with this also. One of my first attempts at all-grain involved me mashing ...

That sounds amazing Rob. Good luck to all the judges; it seems like an enormous feat!

8B ESB, 15A Weiss, 17A Berliner Weisse, and 20 Raspberry Wheat submitted today. Thanks for letting us drop them off at your house Rob, especially in light of your new addition.

Good luck to everyone who enters!

Yeah, I just noticed the HP flip tops yesterday; worth collecting a few if that's what people like to bottle in.


Too bad the OP's kit didn't come with a dedicated bottling bucket. Much easier with the spigot to control flow and as someone further up said, easier to prime with the large opening.

We're submitting a Weiss and a Raspberry Wheat. Our stronger beers, such as the ESB, are mostly gone or resting in growlers. I suppose the growlers would be frowned on.

I always encourage people not to exhale.
