This "blow start" siphon is my choice. I've used it for more than 10 batches and zero contamination. The stainless steel racking cane will be the last one you will ever buy (BTW, throw away the hose clamp it comes with. You don't need it.) It's the simplest siphon starter and won't break o...

Hopdog is starting to be a beer snob. This is all he cares for...

Walking this morning with Hopdog in the local park and look at what we found!

What in the heck is this???!?! Oh yeah! He found his first wild turkey.

Rick, I've joked with you before in the past about you owning one cat too many. I really do love all kinds of animals but this thread is about "Brew Pets." We've all heard of "Brewdog Brewery" but imagine a brewery called "Brewcat." I'd stay clear of that beer if it did...

I had a late spontaneous brewday yesterday evening with Nick. I might also skip this one. Doesn't sound like much interest anyhow.

@StarRaptor, meet me in the Dagobah System today near the swamp by the big tree. First round on me.

What time tomorrow, Nick? Are you firing up the beer signal?

I might have to show up because I was nominated as the BC's unofficial photographer.

Here is a short trilogy I call "Brew Pet Wars Saga."

Even better, I'll bring the barrel to our next meeting and let all taste it.

@backyard, that's funny...I had a blue and gold macaw when I was a kid too. It was so tame we never clipped the wings and it would fly around the house. My dad got brave one day and took him outside. He would fly back but one day, he figured our house in Fresno wasn't really "rain-foresty"...

You can read more about these small oak barrels on their website but it is charred inside and smells like it too. Their sales pitch was a bit of a joke, I know. If you have time, go by the fair and check it out. They claim to make everything here in the U.S. and the quality is really good. I'm not e...

I recommend Omar's Birds in Brea or his ex-wife's place called Omar's Birds by Fran in Cypress if anyone is ever interested in birds. Nothing beats eBay classifieds or recycler.com for prices. Parrots are mean pets. They often out live their original owners and have to live the rest of their lives a...

Holy smokes. Thank you all, for your replies and research even on craiglist for me. I don't think this mini keg system is the answer to my problem. I'll have to get into kegging eventually.

I purchased this 9% ABV Ale from the "Liquorette" in Walnut some time ago. I didn't know what to expect other than it was a corked beer costing about $10-12 dollars per bottle. Nick and I drank it and thought it was a very smooth and tasty Belgian. The "triple fermentation" on la...

I love animals. in a platonic kind of way. Here is a pic of the zoo that is my house:
I just wanted to share some pet photos here and maybe you can share yours from time to time.
