• Posted in thread: Brewmasters Warehouse - Two thumbs up! on 10-17-2009 at 04:10 PM
  Just got a shipment of grains and yeast from Brewmasters warehouse and I am impressed! Only
  took 5 days to get to Denver, CO. The order was complete and packed very well so that none of
  the bags broke...

• Posted in thread: Calling all Boise area brewers! on 05-06-2008 at 02:45 AM
  Hey all! I currently brew with one other guy and we try to get a batch in every week (usually
  Sundays). We brew 10G AG batches. If anyone is interested in getting together for a group brew
  or just to ...

  I use a 2000ml Erlenmeyer flask to make a about a half gallon starter and pitch my original
  White Labs tube. When that has fermented out I sanitize six or seven 12 oz bottles and caps.
  Then I swirl th...

  I agree with this...to a degree....The caveat is, that many of these will be sour, mold filled
  and require a bit more work to clean. You are supposed to return them clean, but most people
  don't go tha...

  I suppose you could ask for them, but we did not. Most likely you would have to dig through all
  their cardboard items just to find the case boxes and that would be a PITA.

  I second the idea of getting them at your local recycling center. In Idaho there is no bottle
  return fee and the guys at the recycling place were more than happy to let me pick up as many
  as I wanted....

  If you are careful either method would work. Whatever seems easiest to you would be the way to
  go. The basic idea is just to avoid excessive splashing that may introduce oxygen into the
  beer. This wou...

  I would recommend you sanitize some food grade tubing and run it from the spigot of the primary
  Mr. Beer to the secondary you are using. If you just use the spigot alone I think you would
  risk splashi...

  Update on the RIS. It has been in bottles since October of 06 and we have just started drinking
  it (Jan 07). The taste is great and there are ZERO concerns about infection. It could have been
  the ABV,...

  If you are using one Mr. Beer keg to primary ferment, and another to secondary ferment you can

  and add to ...
