All this beer talk has got me thinking I might need to start brewing my own, now that I have the space (figured it would be a PITA in an apartment). Anyone have any links to some good 'get started' brewing sites?
I order from Midwest Brewing Supply in St. Paul, MN. There's a store somewhere here in Chicago, but Midwest is easier -- I don't have to mess with parking, etc. If you're in the Seattle area, you may have better luck finding a shop in the area, but the guys at Midwest are great if you need to call to ask questions. Quite honestly, if you're brewing from kits and using malt extract instead of going all-grain, you can get the basic equipment kit (or the next one up), a beer kit and let 'er rip. If you follow the directions, you'll do fine. Be sure to have a bigass preferrably stainless steel kettle (about 3-4 gallon capacity), a meat thermometer (or order a floating one) that is calibrated to read from about 70 deg F to 155 deg F, and perhaps five or six gallons of bottled water handy. There's a few specific items that I would buy to round out any kit if it doesn't include all of the stuff I like to use, but that's based on personal perference. At any rate, here's a link to their site. There's this place, which is in Seattle and has some good reviews. A search for, "brewing supplies seattle," pulls up some handy stuff at the very top of the results. ETA -- I'm also happy to try to answer questions, etc. Just shoot me a PM or whatever. |
I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

I don't want to be trapped talking to some enthusiast for hours I just want some basic info so I can start smelling up my garage! Drive down 208th. Keep going until it turns into 212th.

One benefit of bootlegging your beer from a town with a large Latino community is the variety of south of the border alcohol. Found 24 oz. Pacificos this trip and picked up a 12-pack of them for 11 bucks. :-D

I don't care what the naysayers think- I loves me some Mexican beer. Had a few Dos Equis the other night before a hockey game, and am a big fan of Pacifico and Sol. I even drink Corona! I don't drink a lot of Tecate, mostly because I can't find it in bottles (and the only beer I drink from a can is Coors Light as an homage to my younger days when that was all we could afford). |

I'm a big fan of Negra Modelo also when in the mood for a darker, less hoppy beer.
