Homebrew Haught Talk Thred
I picked up stuff to make a sierra nevada style ale, a blonde, and an english IPA. I typically brew batches in groups of 3 bc that's what I've got and they fit into this nicely.
Three tap party system that I've got plans to upgrade. I'm going to make a fold down wood box with wheels for the whole thing and do a nice poly bar coat on it. That way you won't know it's a trashcan inside and it will have space for the CO2 cannister. I might add a water draw on the trash can as well to empty it when required. If we return to the Rose Bowl you can expect to see me bring this fucker. Even @backthepack and his friends can't kill the whole thing.
As for brewing I've got a fast ferment that is good, not as great as advertised but still really nice. Then a carboy and a bucket. Honestly, the bucket is probably the easiest to brew in and I've never noticed any discernible difference in quality.

I brewed a lot (partial extract only tho) back when. Life got too busy with kids and haven't made a batch in at least five years. My only local supply shop closed a while ago, not even sure where I'd get the makings.

I do mostly partial extract at this point. It's just a lot less work imo for a garage set up and gets you 81% of the results. Online ordering is your fren if your local shop is closed. Online stuff has improved tremmensely in the last five or so years with competition.GrundleStiltzkin said:I brewed a lot (partial extract only tho) back when.

You severely underestimate me, my fren!

I'll be sure to make a batch of double bock that's 10%+ so we can make it a real competition.backthepack said:

Haven't ordered online anytime recently as I support my local shop but I have frends that live in boonytownUSA who do on the regular for their supplies. I'll make some inquiries.GrundleStiltzkin said:

I do and I don't. I told you if we drank all that homebrew at the Rose Bowl we would be fucked up. I was right but you did hang. The round two competition should be entertaining.backthepack said:You severely underestimate me, my fren!
