Well, that was an interesting 10 minutes. http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/05/everything-you-need-to-know-guide-to-balsamic-vinegar.html I had no idea how Balsamic V. was made. After reading the article above (only one I read), I would guess that replacing the wood infusion sticks would not...

In short, fermenting in your house. As the post before me said, what yeast? Most of the time I like to use WLP001 when fermenting an IPA. This yeast's optimal ferment temp is 68-73°F (20-23°C). Thats WhiteLab's recommendation on their website. If you're using that, I wouldn't put it in...

I apologize if this gun is already mentioned, but my wife wanted to start shooting over a year ago. Her first one was a S&W Model 642 .38. She still loves it. It's a hammer-less revolver. Edit: She did NOT get the pink one! lol

I re-use commercial beer bottles often, but i prefer re-using my stash of 22oz bottles. When I plan to save commercial bottles, I save the box too. I've made it a habit to rinse the bottles as soon as possible and put the cap back on, simply to keep out as much dust/etc.. as possible, not...

Soft Pretzels!!

I've done what RJStew did. No complaints either. However, it was for a party so the alcohol was moderately flowing. Saw one on CraigsList in the Philly area, N 21st St at Arch St, for $175.. https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/for/5264741303.html

I do not marinade. I did a few times but never noticed the difference so now I don't bother. I've never injected either because I didn't want to "push out" the natural juices. After many rubs and variations, this is the rub I use, which has become the house rub for any pork. I like it on a big...

We have a female dog named Citra, and if we ever get a male dog, I'd consider Barley. Not really badass but brewing related. That's badass! lol

It's a good thing! Trust me. My wife loves IPA's as much as I do. Every batch I make or case I buy, I only get half.. haha

LiquidFlame - Did you go?!?!!

Nice rig! What's the first brew gonna be?

Male Customer: 2 big watermelons and a one of those vibrating pleasure rings. "Do you think I'll need anything else?"

Amazing setups! Good work brewers.

Wow. Lots of stuff goign on here. Thanks for starting this thread CommonSense. 1) Thanks for everyones input. I came here because I was recently given a pound of raw honey and was asked if I could make a Brown Ale with it. I've brewed many times but never used honey. After a lot of other...

Since this is used after boil & prior to chilling.... On a homebrew scale, are using a hopback and adding hops at flame-out ideally the same? Do you get more hop characteristics from a hopback than just simply adding hops at flame-out? Thanks.
