Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

Guys, I lost my $hitty job last month. Moved back to Des Moines and I now have an offer at Caterpillar in Decatur IL. I will be a Supplier Collaboration Engineer. This is basically a engineering liaison between purchasing, engineering and suppliers with a lot of emphasis in handling technical commun...

Good use of that wasted space in front of your dishwasher. Gotta know your priorities. Is that one that made with an RV faucet, or what? Give us details! Yes - Its made from an RV piston pump. I will be attaching a 3/8" hose to a poly pin. A corny also fits inside. I plan to use ice blanket to...

Here is my new beer engine. Can't wait to use it....

Who do you think will win on Sunday?

I am planning to make it tonight!

I'm bringing Saison, IPA & Cider.

OK - Sounds like fun! I was thinking $hitty beer mainly because the High Life Lounge has a $hitty beer night. I believe they sell old-fashion grandpa beers in cans. Never been there that night. For those of you who don't about this bar, its the bar attached to the Bait Shop in Des Moines. The bar de...

Count me out, I'm gonna be going home on the weekends to see the wife and kid and burn through a very long "To Do" List.

Are you planning to serve $hitty Beer & food or is it the barn thats just $hitty?

[quote="BrewHound"]Either of you know how they make the pellets. Like using those much better.

You might change you mind if you had one of these. Makes using them a whole lot easier. See the you tube link.

Mmmmm. Cheetos beer.

I'd prefer Spicy Pork Rind Beer over the Cheetobier!!!

Yes! - Yours are probably a little past due. Usually around the state fair time you will have some ready to pick. Sometimes a little earlier or later. Over the whole course of August & September you can harvest. Look at your cones, are they light green color? Do they have brown spots or are they...

Thats an awesome setup. So are you transplanting your hops to CR when you move? I hope you staked out a good place to grow them. My front yard is the only place that gets full Sun. However, my wife has not yet agreed to make it a hops habitat. Look forward to meeting you and sharing some beers. I d...

I have been growing hops about as long as you. I dry mine in my hop oast. I don't use heat. I dry them in the basement where its dehumidified and cool. I use a fan to blow air through the back of an old dresser and up and out the drawers. I takes about 3 days until they are dry, sometimes less. I li...

Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to make it there. The wife is taking the kid to see the parents for the weekend and that will free me up to get a lot of house repairs done w/o all the usual distractions. Have to get the house ready to put on the market. I think the CSP Brewers are going... I...

I used a walmart brand. Tones Sweet Orange Peel. I bet Hyve would have it too. I made a really good clone of Hoegaarden with that stuff. The real zest thing is a good idea. I've considered using; grapefruit, orange, lemon & lime in wheat beer with a little toasted 2-row, and biscuit. Making it a...
