My wife was pretty agreeable to a kegerator, but it helped that I made it look nice. I bought this fridge:...
Agreed. I used the second one you linked to and mounted it in an old tupperwar sandwich container. Worked like a charm and everything to mount it...
A few companies make organic malt (Briess comes to mind) and I know you can get organic hops through hopunion and I'm sure other companies.
Canadian brewers are there and doing great stuff. The West Coast is a hotbed, Victoria/Vancouver are really hitting it out of the park. They're...

Fair enough. I can't argue with the silliness of calling a beer black and pale. I like the term CDA as well and usually call mine that. I never...

Sounds good to me. I have a second free pack of Abbaye I'll try eventually, but I still think 3787 is what I'll use for Belgian beers.
HERETIC!
I brewed a dubbel with it and wasn't a huge fan of the yeast. Hard to describe, maybe too phenolic. The beer was pretty harsh for 8%. A friend...
Pugsley standard is 7 days grain to glass. 3-4 fermenting, 2-3 days crash cooling, 1 day "conditioning" (read: fining), filter and package. Works...
I once forgot to sanitize my fermenter and realized immediately after racking into it. It was an IPA with a huge hop stand, so I really didn't...
I've never done BIAB, but here is what a brewer I know tweeted: "My rules for BIAB: double crush, squeeze the bag. No sparge, no worries. 80-85%...
Agreed. I find my beer is a bit overcarbed when I use the drops. They are perfect for that one extra bottle that didn't fit in the keg though!
