At work we were told to use up all the >30% peroxide as it has made the leap to the "watched substances" list by Homeland Security. Apparently if you want to use something stronger than 30% you must be a terrorist. And yes, the peroxide would probably do mean and hurtful things to your yeast...

In the spices section of your local grocery store you will find "pumpkin pie" spice. You could just as easily do an extract brew, a simple pale ale or maybe something with a little more color and just add the "pumpkin pie" spice. If you want to go the AG route, again, a simple brew,and if...

Check the "Stickys", someone on here had a dandy setup using copper tubing and a garden hose.

Yahoo groups might be able to do that.

Hydrate, then add at the same time as the priming sugar in bottling bucket.

I saw the show, "What's Brewing" on Veria. A satalite channel up in the nosebleeds. They apparently discuss anythng that is brewed. Tea, coffee, stuff with fungus, you name it. They finally got to beer. Oofda! What a bunch of tards. She brings out three beers on a tray and the alleged expert...

One in this hand and one in that hand. One, two. One, two. One, two. Yep, that's all I can handle at one time.

So would that be creating a new style? And saying "Unconventional use of belgian yeast", I get the impression all belgian beers are unconventional, especially when compared to the stodgy german limitations. Those crazy monks threw all kinds of wierd stuff in there. Orange peels??? wha...

My wife does not drink at all. I occasionally get her to taste one and the response is the same. "Icky, that tastes bad." Doesn't bother me in the least. More for me that way.

Mine goes on the compost heap. If the birds want it they can have it.

They made children of corn about 8 miles from where I live. My lawyer died in the cafeteria scene, he was the balding old man. My personal scariest movie was "Little shop of horrors". The original, not the musical. I was 5 and remember trying to sink into the couch backwards. If we were...

Just another example of the government taking individual rights and freedoms away from its citizens. The reason bills like that get started are irresponsible owners. Don't know how to train a dog or don't care. The reason pitts get the limelight is if one does attack, the guy that said, it's not...

You didn't dump the beer because it was skunked, you were inoculating the septic tank.
