if you wanna do cider/apfelwein this year, the place I get mine at in Lyons will have the good stuff for another couple weeks, PM me if want the name of the place

alright another OCMS, Mojo Nixon and The Dubliners fan!:mug: you may also like the travelling wilburys, chris knight and ryan bingham:rockin:

you'll be fine, thats how I personally, along with every other homebrew cider guy in my area does it. I have 40gallons in my basement now:rockin: I get my carboys filled right out of the press. In fact I get wierd looks when I mention that people add anything other than sugar and other...

yes, I have heard of them, they are pretty good. If you havent checked them out already, look into Iron Horse, they do bluegrass covers of classic metal and rock tunes(ozzy and metalica mostly). Let me tell ya, as a banjo player myself, the banjo player in Iron Horse is top notch! For some other...

I'd have to say Bluegrass, and the old timey stringband stuff is at the top of the list, followed closely by 50's/early 60's rock, pop and doo wop, as well as classic country.

Welcome, Im right accross the lake from you in Wayne County NY! Have a lot of family in the Quinte/Kingston area. Belleville is also home to my favorite afternoon oldies show-The Freddy Vette Show on 800 CJBQ! Good luck with the brewing, Im a noob myself as well!

If you guys are lucky enough to have an orchard nearby, have the farmer press some apples, and fill your carboy with the juice, making sure he doesn't run it through the UV or other means of pasturization. No need to add yeast, fermentation will usually start by the next day. Now what I do is...

They are going pretty good Tim! Although in all my life I have never been to the rennaisance fair, even though my grandparents used to own a marina/B&B in fair haven! I hear its a good time though. I kinda had the same thoughts on the conifer needles, but figured what the heck, if I try it with...

welcome from another local! seems to be alot of homebrewers in the Rochester and Canandaigua area, I saw a HBT bumber sticker on a ford ranger on 104 in Irondiquiot on my way home from work-One of you guys?

It also doesnt help when we have Keith Stone representing the beer world, haha

other than brewing, I enjoy: skeet shooting hunting/fishing classic cars(currently restoring 86 mustang LX, not really classic, but always liked the Foxes) motorcycling snowmobiling Im also an amature banjo player, and my buddies and I got a little bluegrass/folk/Christian band called The...

With the warm coming soon(hopefully) the sumacs berries should be out soon. Sumac tea is kind of a local farm delicacy, and was wondering if I can make a sumac wine? Also, its common to make a tea with hemlock or pine needles, can I do the same thing with this? Im new at all this so bear...

maybe its an old leftover then???, or it may not even be Oberon, thats just what he said it was(I dont see him/get the beer until Friday)

Never been to Frankenmuth, but may have to swing by on the way out especially since German food is the best! I usually cut through Ontario and cross into Mi at Sarnia. Although If I can get some of my riding buddies to go and ride the bikes, we'd take the scenic route and go up and around, and...

yeah, a gallon doesnt make that much of dent, I used to do syrup, and think we ended up spilling at least that per night! Compared to syrup, homebrewing is way easier...and cheaper:mug:
