LOL! I see. I'm not worried about the beer so much, just wasn't sure what to do next. ;) I shall proceed as instructed. Prime, wait, drink. :D

Ok, so re-prime, what's rdwhahb?

Weeeeeell, here's the long story. I sanitize my Beer Machine at my job, cuz they've got a big sink and industrial sanitize. Since I picked it up at a thrift store, I really wanted to get it clean. All went well, but when I got home I realized the little clear button pressure valve must have...

I"m not carbing with gas. I'm just using the keg.

Long story short, I'm carbonating in my Beer Machine, but 12 hours after I put my primed beer in the keg, I lost all pressure (my fault). Is it too late for the priming I just did to carb up my beer? Do I need to add more sugar? What's my next move oh beer masters? also...It spent a couple of...

Has anybody used Kay 5 sanitizer? It's got sodium dichloro s triazinetrione dihydrate 6%

Ah well, he's a goober I suppose. I'm only going on what he's tellin' me anyhow. I like a good doppelbock or imperial stout any day of the week. He's so freaking picky, sometimes it's like he's 3! LOL Thank you for your help though! I am indeed looking for kits for the time being. I've got a...

Flars, thanks for looking that up. I'm not seeing s link though. Maybe that's because I'm on my friends phone though. I'll have to make a trip to the library. Jprather, I suggested an altbier and it's already on the list. He is, however, definitely looking for an Amber ale. He worked for a...

My hubby is not a big beer drinker. So when he put in a request, I was all over it. He wants a good German (preferably Austrian, the snob) amber ale. He rather disdains ales from England and the Isles, but that seems to be about all I can find in kit form (except for one from midwest, which I...

I picked up a beer machine set up from my local thrift store for 15 bucks. It was complete (minus the beer mix, but that was no big loss. As far as I could tell it was just a cheap DME kit, and the reviews are universally bad) and had a spare co2 cartridge. The one thing it was lacking was the...

Update on the angry apple cider. It's ok. Not great, but ok. However, this is from a bottle that only aged 4 months, and then spent 2 in the fridge. I'm putting another in the fridge, and will crack it open in a couple of days. Maybe the extra 2 months aging will do it some good? In other...

LOL, seems to be the question of the evening! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/angry-brewing-330242/#post4105676

Wah? Surely you aren't insinuating something crass? ;) These Cozy models are aghast! (they're sporting the quilted variety)

Thanks! Also, since this is cider and all...I can use the bucket that I got from the doughnut shop that used to hold apple filling. I never was able to get all the apple smell out. :D

A tea cozy is a quilted or knitted (or crochet) cover for a tea pot. It helps keep the tea sitting in the pot warm while you drink what you have in your cup. It often looks a lot like a hat, and some cozies get downright outrageous. I've seen crowns, flower baskets, elephants, pouf balls, and...
