- I've been drinking homebrews for years, but just recently started to do it myself. My first batch was a California Common, which came out pretty well, in my opinion. Right now I'm only using extracts and specialty grains and partial mashing, and until I get a bigger house with some space, that's all I'll be doing. I've tried one lager so far, and it was ok, but without the space for good equipment I'll probably stick to ales.
- Mostly been doing wine batches because I don't have time for a brew day.

I've never used them, but M&M grape might not be that bad for shipping for you. Looks like
they might have some decently priced Merlot, but you might need to be able to find a press

Ended up finding the brew store near by work and doubled up on the yeasts (patience is indeed a

Well, the shipment came in quicker than I had expected, and when I went to the brew store today

inventory, and th...Posted in thread: How long can juice pails sit safely before goin bad on 04-24-2013 at 03:15 PM
Stopped by Menards and got two 30 gal tote bins that are 29" x 16", hopefully that will fit two
buckets in each, and the two of them fit in the back seat of the guys car, so I think I'm good.

How large are the buckets, how many, and how expensive is your shipment? Might be worth the $
to buy one of the large, deep Rubbermaid storage bins (not the cheap clear ones, but the
thicker sided gra...Posted in thread: How long can juice pails sit safely before goin bad on 04-23-2013 at 09:33 PM
I just found out my juice pails will be delivered and I have no way to get to them at the
moment, my friend said he'll pick them up for me but I won't see him for a couple of days

www.doublegoldwinegrapes.comI think they've already closed their orders, but you can always

Not sure if you've already made your decision, but according to the Lalvin site, D21 is a
medium Nitrogen need, so maybe a little nutrient would have helped, but it it hasn't gotten too
much out of ha...Posted in thread: Advise for a Summer Wheat Pummelo Ale on 12-26-2012 at 03:22 AM
Did you ever make this? I've got some fresh pummelo and was thinking about doing the
same.Actually, by the time I figured out what i wanted to do, the pummelos were no longer at
the store. I ended up ...
