The old version of the tap used two 8g but the new one only uses 16g and I don't think there is any way to use 8g on the new one. Someone else may know something I don't.

I had a bottling accident while bottling into my final Tap-A-Draft 6 liter bottle. The bottle hit the floor with the lid off while the bottling bucket went its merry way. I grabbed the bottle while it was gurgling beer laying on its side and capped it with a sterile cap. I now have a 6 liter...

Hello, I am looking to move from partial boil to full boil plus have the capacity to do a 10 gallon batch. I am looking at a Thunder Group 50 qt. aluminum pot and lid but wonder what everyone uses for a mesh strainer to rest the partial mash grains in to drain? I have one that will fit my...

I am beening lazy and did not take sg. Gonna bottle this weekend.

Mine has been fermenting since 8/24/11 and followed the recipe except used EC1118 and re pitched about a month ago. Waiting for it to become less sweet. What is the longest anybody fermented this stuff and did it eventually get less sweet? I'm considering diluting and bottling.

I hung out on the BBQ forums quite a bit, read several books over the years. Be careful with your first smoker purchase, you can end up with something that doesn't hold temperatures. You will be baby sitting that thing and may loose all enjoyment. A good first smoker is a Weber Smokey Mountain...

My chickens love it, goats not so much.

Bottled my first batch two weeks ago and WOW, it is really good. Too good and I hope I can keep my hands off it to allow some to age. Feels like a champagne buzz with the corresponding champagne hangover. Really dangerous stuff and I could see it being the ultimate liquid panty remover. I have...

I was trying to decide between skeeter pee and this but ended going with this because it seemed a bit easier. I rehydrated and then pitched 1.5 packets of EC1118. I used the recipe to a tee other than the yeast and I filled a 6 gallon better bottle to close to the top. I had disolved all 10lbs...
