Rosco's Nut Brown Ale #92


In an attempt to rid my garden of a family of lettuce-loving chipmunks, I built an oversized hav-a-heart trap from a trash can, a gangplank, a handful of brewing grains and a dab of peanut butter.
It worked great, but I discovered that there is no shortage of chipmunks willing to take their places! You may see the whole story on my other blog at:

Ten-Gallon All-Grain is Here to Stay!


So this is why Homebrewers almost always evolve toward brewing with all-grain, instead of liquid malt-extract:

Half the ingredients cost, and double the amount of beer, with only about an extra two hours in brewing time.

These early Spring Bighorn Sheep held their ground and would not let me pass until they had eaten the new grasses along the narrow mountain road, then finally "levitated" up onto the rock outcropping, and into the forest.

CSB - Community Supported Brewing

If you are the recipient of a regular gift of my homebrewed beer, in the form of a 5-liter mini-keg that will fit in your refrigerator, you will need to buy your very own tap for my system. The best place I have found to purchase the "Party Star Deluxe CO2 Tapper" is from Midwest Homebrewing Supply in Minneapolis, MN. for $75.
I will supply the mini-kegs full of beer and labeled with my fun graphics. You will need a space in your refrigerator 7" dia. x 14" h.
Cheers!

Micro Keg System?


Is this the micro-keg system that will allow storing a 1.33-gallon keg in your regrigerator? You will need a space 7" in diameter, 14" tall.
