I just won this 100qt hoss on eBay for a steal at $38 with shipping. These things go for upwards of $100 new. This is going to allow us to brew up some BIG batches without the problems we have had in the past.
More to come on this little treasure…
After brewing outside the capacity of our current mash tun, Nick and I have been looking for a way to build out. After surfing around for a 100+qt cooler, I was looking Craig’s List and saw a five gallon water jug for $10. I couldn’t resist.
I picked up this hoss with the [...]
In the true spirit of a Marzen, we are going to be brewing an Oktoberfest this weekend. With hopes of matching the success of the fall 2007 Oktoberfest party, the plan is to brew up 10 gallons of this delicious brew and let it age till late September when we can have friends over to [...]
Brewing this weekend wound up getting canceled because it was Nick’s brew-girlfriend’s birthday. Keeping the brew-significant others appeased is ALWAYS a worthy reason to delay a brew weekend. God knows they put up with enough craziness.

I couldn’t find the redemption center, so still on a mission, I stopped [...]
After the success (eventually) of the beer fridge I made with a dorm fridge and a cold plate, Nick decided he was ready to make the plunge into kegging and wanted one himself.
For this project, Nick had a bigger dorm fridge than I had previously used. The fridge that he used looked like a 4.6 [...]
So the title is in reference to the Wu Tang Clan and the Wu Wear they made famous. Though I am am not a crazy Wu fan, I do appreciate their shaolin style, but I digress.
This weekend I spent doing some “fixer uppers” on my brew house. While all this was going on, I kicked [...]
So since we are not brewing this weekend and I don’t foresee myself doing any fun beer projects, I figured I would do a single post about a bunch of random odds and ends. Later this week I will post up the final recipe for the Pumpkin Ale Nick and I are going to brew [...]
So with out revisiting the background of all this, first there was a box and then there was a tap, and now there will be a box and tap together.
This idea is all the result of a great post I saw from my friend Ben at Ben’s Homebrew. I have to thank him as always [...]
