Hello Home Brewers, do you have a favorite Brew Blog or other Website, want more traffic to your site?

Hello fellow Brew Lovers, I know, I haven’t written in a while, let me explain why.

I have several hobbies, and building websites is one of them, and that is what I have been doing. As a brewer, and beer drinker, this will always be a top concern of mine, not just my brewing and drinking, but promoting the hobby in general. I get calls from other brewers who have found this site, and are looking for a homebrew club near them, and can’t find one. Why can’t they find the other sites out there? That is an easy one, they don’t get promoted the way this site does. I spend a lot of time on promoting a lot of websites and have finally decided to build a special site that will help my fellow brewers to promote, not just their favorite brew sites, but their business sites as well!

Many of the webmasters out there are home brewers, many have multiple sites, and everybody has been to those “autosurf” sites, wanting what those sites have to offer, but don’t want to have to look at a bunch of “get rich quick”, “E-mail Harvesters”, or other scam sites, the list could go on forever. So, when I built this site, there were several things that I learned, as a surfer myself for years, I knew what I was sick and tired of seeing, and those things are not allowed on this site!

Why you might ask? An autosurf site is very useful in several ways, first, the more traffic to your site, the better it ranks, so it comes up in the searches people do all day long! Second, people see your site and could possibly get involved with whatever it is you are doing or promoting. However, if your site is buried with all of the junk, who can find it?

If you have a website that you would like to promote, I would like to invite you to join, and yes, it is FREE, but you do need to surf a bit, that is what makes it all work! So, come take a look, register, and surf! TrafficComplex.com

When you join, you will receive 3000 FREE credits to apply to the sites you want to promote, not to mention referral bonus for anyone else you refer, and yes again, it is FREE! If you are a reader of any of my Blogs, or the posts they contain, you know that I am about half crazy, so when you are an active surfer, you will get all kinds of free credits by watching the surfbar, just click the link and they will get added to your account!

There is also a blog incorporated into this site, it is even the home page, so that you can see what is going on at the site on your way to login or register! We have also added a forum, bulletin board, or whatever you want to call it, so that we can all share our knowledge and report problem websites that somehow slip through the cracks.

So, get you a cold brew, sign up, surf, and tell everybody you know, it will help your sites get seen, and we all need that!

OpinionHead: My Newest Blog

Just to let everyone know where I have been the last couple of days, I have started another Blog, what else right? Just as I have strong opinions about beer and brewing, I have some doozies when it comes to politics, world news, and of course the war on terror, not to mention several other things that are too numerous to list!

So, while you are out browsing, check out OpinionHead, my newest creation. If you too have strong Opinions, register, post a comment, and if you are interested, I need authors with varying opinions to keep the site content balanced, you’ll find a link on the About page that will send the email to me, just tell me a bit about you and so on, and I might make you an Author!

Remember, as it always is, it is about sharing ideas, that way we can all learn from each other. Should you want to go directly to the first serious post, you can click here

I hope to see you all there, and bring your attitudes! Bring some facts too!

Homebrew Supply Shops

If you are a home brewer, I know that you are always looking for “The Place” to get your supplies, as I have been, but I have to admit that about 99% of the time, I have ordered from Austin Homebrew Supply. Why you might ask? First off they are close, and my order gets here within a coule of days, even in the summer, my yeast gets here with an icepack that is still cold!

The pricing is much lower than other stores and the service is excellent, if you order on-line visit Austin Homebrew Supply I will be making another order in a day or two myself. If you are lucky enough to live in the Austin area, here is their information.

U Brew, what a great concept!

I have to mention U-Brew.com , inRochester, Minnesota, because it is one of those Home Beer Brewing Supply shops that offers an option to brew it there!This is something that many of the local brew shops offer, but it isn’t promoted that much, maybe because they just don’t want to be over run by new brewers?Whatever the case may be, there is probably a homebrew supply near you that can help.If you are in Colorado Springs, Colorado check out MyHomebrew.com they too offer on premises brewing.The Brewers Apprentice , in Freehold New Jersey is another, check them out online at BrewApp.comIf you know these guys, post a comment and tell us all about them. If you know of another shop where you are, post that in the comments as well.I am sure that I could go on and on about this, but I wont, here is a search link that may help. Have a Cold one, Cheers!Technorati Tags: beer, wine, brew on premises, homebrew supply, brew your own, hophead

The Bearded Brewing Company

This is another site I have found that is totally awesome and has information and reviews about Home brewed beer. I have not found a site that has this much info on that many beers, that they have brewed, named, and drink the heck out of! I love this site and I bet anyone that loves homebrew as much as I do will also. I also have a live feed from that site in the left sidebar.

The lowdown on Saucey Sistah’s Ale

The lowdown on Saucey Sistah’s Ale

Do you believe in a phoenix rising from the ashes? Did you ever hear about Oakland’s Brothers Brewing Co.? Read on.

Brothers Brewing Co.An Oakland homebrewer Ralston Brown, a graduate of the American Berwers Guild when it was in Davis and his brother-in-law Thomas Parker and his friend, Michael LeBlanc, a former Polaroid exec, signed on and invested their savings in the company launched Brothers Brewing on the usual shoestring in 1998. Their first beer, recipe by Ralston, Brothers Honey-Brewed Amber Ale *** (my rating in 1999), contract brewed by Alec Moss at the late and still-lamented Golden Pacific Brewing in Berkeley, was a moderate hit.

Kegerator Do’s and Don’ts

Kegerator Do’s and Don’ts
TheDrunkMansBlog

Do’s

* Do get a kegerator. If you drink beer regularly, then it’s worth it. The beer is cheaper when you buy it by the keg, and it’s more convenient to just take your glass to the tap.
* If your wife or girlfriend objects to the kegerator, then tell her you are doing it to save the environment. After all, re-usable kegs are much more eco-friendly than all that glass for the bottles.
* Do clean your beer lines each time you switch out your keg(s). The beer in those lines is the perfect growth medium for bacteria and yeast that will make your beer taste like crap. Your lines should be cleaned once per month at the least.

I found this post by accident, got to looking around and found there is a lot of useful information at this site! I am putting this one in my Blogroll!
