Brewcommune

RebelUnit, Your kegerator is very cool and I like the idea of introducing the art of Homebrewing to new people. However, there are some concerns that should be addressed before pouring free beer at a public gathering. Alcohol laws are strict and confusing. Will the drinking be confined to inside you...

That would be great! I could finally retire for real and focus on more brewing!

The hoist is rated up to 400 lbs so it should handle my needs.

So, the doctor said "NO LIFTING" for an undetermined time.
I need to move fermenter buckets and carboys so I came up with this.

Yeah, that is really cool. I had interest in trying to step in for it, but since I'm traveling 4 days next week, my wife would have killed me if I left for this. That said, I'd be interested in working with Don to see how it was that he originally set this up, as it might be a cool thing for me to ...

Awesome!
40 people, wow, that's a huge turnout.
Well, you broke some new ground for the club. Congratulations!
Maybe we can do similar presentations in the future.
Thanks Tony for representing the brewcommune and doing such a great job at the last minute.

75 labels for $10
I get 600 shipping labels for $10. I'm not looking to win any competition for my labels, I just want people to know what is in the beer they are drinking.

I don't know where they came up with the part about making root beer. Maybe there is another speaker that they didn't tell me about.

Hey all, Yesterday, I bottled my latest gruit beer and today I heard the first loud pop. Yup, bottle burst and made a mess everywhere. It has been a while since I used my bottling bucket and corn-sugar to carb, so did I get this wrong? I dissolved 5oz of corn-sugar in water, and added it to the 5.5...

Thank you all for helping me improve my brewing. I got an invite from the QUAFF people for another competition that I'm not familiar with. Has anyone ever heard of this? "Congratulations! By placing first in the 2013 America's Finest City Homebrew competition you have qualified for entry into t...

Results are in!
Congratulations Chris!

Brewcommune will be doing a presentation on "How to Brew your own Beer" at the Yorba Linda Public Library on March 14 at 6:30pm. I have volunteered to be there and anyone who can participate with the presentation is encouraged to attend. We will be showing the basics of getting started wit...

I'm entering an Irish Red Ale

Looking for new places to hold our meetings. Ideas? Restaurants, pizza places, meeting rooms, bowling alleys, lodges, hotels, warehouses, Elks lodge, church reception halls ??? Preferably a place that is quiet enough to hear each other talk. The big question is "Will they allow us to bring in o...
