• Posted in thread: What size tubing for Better Bottle blow off? on 05-23-2013 at 03:44 PM
  I use a #10 stopper with a hole in it. I have no idea the size of the hole, but when I got the
  stopper, I took it to the hardware store and bought a length of tubing that fit snugly in the
  hole. As ha...

• Posted in thread: More blow off blunders... on 05-20-2013 at 02:37 PM
  I think your brew should be just fine. Changing the blow-off liquid really has no effect on the
  fermenting brew. And considering the amount of carbon dioxide those yeast produce, once you
  resealed the...

  When I was still gainfully employed, rather than relying on the goodness of the US government
  and my pension plan, I enjoyed Fridays. Since I "worked" on Saturday night and Sunday morning,
  my "day off...

  Greetings from another Illinois homebrewer! I'm up about 25 miles east of Rockford, in the

  When I did mine in August 2011, I added 16 ounces of bourbon and some oak chips about two weeks

  fine. glenn5...

  Every Saturday morning, my wife and I make a visit to Starbuck's on the Square in Woodstock,
  Illinois [known as the location for filming "Groundhog Day"]. In good weather people sit
  outside and talk w...

• Posted in thread: Cleaning bottles? on 05-05-2013 at 05:39 PM
  In another thread similar to this one, I mentioned that some of our fellow brewers "over-think"
  and "over-do" some processes related to brewing. Once a new-to-my-collection bottle is CLEAN, I
  keep it ...

• Posted in thread: Yooper is now an Admin! on 05-04-2013 at 05:17 PM
  Pappers...I heartily apologize. I did not mean to infer that there were no other brewers of the
  female gender on this site. I do believe, however, that they are in the minority,
  unfortunately. Rather ...

• Posted in thread: Your homebrew pipeline... on 05-04-2013 at 04:30 PM
  My pipeline ran close to dry right after Christmas. With the press of the holidays, I just
  didn't get to brew. Since the New Year, however, I have been brewing regularly. I now have the
  following : Ca...

  Now, you can't get rid of me! :drunk:Now, that begs a question! Who on this website is being so
  pompous and presumptuous as to want one of our "token" female brewers gone??? Not me, that's
  for sure! E...
