I use 2 cups of vinegar in a gallon jug, water, salt, pepper, cayenne, jalepeno's & pour in the juice, quartered onion & a couple of smashed garlic cloves.. Add eggs, fill to top with water, shake & stir & let it sit for 3 / 4 weeks - depending on how hot you like them. Agitate every couple of...

Hell, all you have to do is take a primary into the swamp, scoop up a bucket full, put a lid on it and wait !!!! :)

Buy 1 - 1 oz gold coin :)

I got one of these. Lots of room, no bending :) http://www.academysports.com/index.php?page=content&target=products/outdoors/grills/fryers&start=6&selectedSKU=0267-40037-0001

I soaked my bottles to get the labels off in a 5 gallon plain raw aluminum stock pot. It turned black inside. I haven't used it to cook anything since, but will see if I can dissolve it out when I do with some vinegar & acids.

I put a few grains of coarse ground salt in mine with a shot of lime juice. As stated, it takes some of the bitterness away and makes this homebrew I made drinkable. It sure is hard to get them lime wedges out of the bottle though ! With a can, squeeze the lime juice & salt BEFORE opening...

Yeah, they are both 41. Got to hide it from my 18 yr old granddaughter or she will steal it :)

Added 2/3 oz at beginning of boil, maintained a rolling boil for 30 minutes, turned off heat, added remaining 1/3 oz hops, then cooled to 80 degrees, added 3 gallons spring water The bottles are in the bottle box they came in, in the coolest corner of the kitchen - 70 - 75 degrees cover with a...

My first batch is an American Light style, you can't screw this up, extract kit from Defalco's. I bottled it 3 weeks ago and have been sampling it along the way. It HAD a rather sweet taste to it, seemed a little to sweet too me, but was a pretty good tasting beer. At least my kids would...

My wife gave me one for Xmas. I've been growing one of the herb mixes. Works good. No hassle. It would take more than one to have enough of whatever particular herb you wanted to use to have enough at the same time. I just cut off the tops of them all and throw it in the pot !

I have an Ultra Classic. It's the Harley experience/mistique you will miss if you buy a different brand. It's a snob/outlaw/biker club. IF I were going to buy another bike, it would NOT be a Harley. When you buy a Harley, you are buying a starter kit. To fully dress it will cost about 2X...

It proves it hasn't worked yet !! BUT, I haven't finished it.

I got 3 6 paks of Hefe - Shinrer - very bitter Paulaner - unfiltered & thick Widmer - filtered & mild - best of the 3. I'll try some of the others recommended above. Thanks for the inputs.

but it sure is getting harder to wait 2 months for this brew to get done !!!
