Sign me up!

Still a little under carbed but it looks and tastes phenomenal.

Yooper's Stone Ruination clone...

I usually end up with just under 6 in the fermenter, 5.5 to secondary, and just a touch over 5 in the keg...

First pint out of the keg. Well, second actually. First one had some crap in it from the gelatin...

+1 on the gelatin. Put it in a keg and let it cold crash for 24 hours. Add the gelatin (great videos on YouTube on the process). Let it carb up and enjoy. The first two pints will be junk but after that it will be pretty clear. Keep in mind it will only get clearer the longer it sits in the...

I'm taking my first crack at this one tomorrow morning. I am doing the "1 lb Honey Malt, 1 lb Brown Sugar" version instead of the honey. Can't wait! I'll post some photos after I get it keged...

Check This Out!!! This is my third batch after about 8 hours in the ferm chamber. Couldn't be happier...

Speaking of midwest things, my wife likes to put this in a pilsner glass with olives and watch them go up and down...

I would relax, not worry, and have a home brew (if it were me) :D

I was curious what the consensus was on how often and how to clean your racking cane and bottler. I sanitize every time I use them, but I noticed a buildup inside them. I just tried soaking them in a solution of oxiclean and it seemed to work. My question is about how many batches can you go...

Try This I have made this one a couple times and it always disappears at an alarming rate... I have never had the one you speak of, but I imagine this would be a good place to start.
