While that may seem logical for the future, it doesn't help me with this batch

Is there really going to be any oxygen getting in? The "open" corner is really only a tiny crack. Since CO2 is heavier than O2, it seems like the CO2 would just sit on top of the cider and keep the O2 off of it. Not trying to argue with you, just reasoning things out...

Midwest's liberty cream ale extract kit!!! Super easy and tastes great to everyone!!!

That's what I was thinking. I don't want too much... just a hint. I have no idea what ingredients ill use just looking for advice such as the quote above. So the milk stout was tasty?

So my next brew will incorporate chai tea. That stuff smells/tastes delicious and I want a hint of it in my beer. So how many tea bags should I steep with the grains? Dry hop instead? Boil with hops? Dark, amber, or light malt? I'm really just going for aroma, which points towards late hop...

Just a heads up. Harris teeter currently has Old Farm juices on sale, buy 2 get 3 free (reg 3.29 for a half gallon). I bought their organic apple juice (reg 3.89) to make an apfelwein. Of course it didnt ring up right and I had to argue about the fact that the ad doesn't say "excludes organic,"...

We borrowed my parents' pressure washer to clean the porch and she said she wanted to do it. I offered several times, but she said she liked it. So I sat in the front yard and supervised with a beer. (For the record, she had a rum and coke sitting just out of the picture.)

Yes... It is exactly what it looks like...
