Funny how the big corporations make beer and at the same time kill it.

Yeah, filter it through your liver. Then it'll come out clear as crystal!

I was, and don't take this the wrong way, hoping you get more conclusive evidence. I get red spotches on my neck after drinking homebrew (and fantastic homebrew at that) and worry that I'm allergic to alcohol. I don't have swelling or lung trouble, just ugly red spots all over my neck. I don't...

20 bucks a bottle. I just got one last night. Very nice bottle, looks like a champagne or wine bottle. Going to drink it closer to Xmas and if you want to know, I'll tell you how it is.

No. If anything, they've improved. Honestly, I think it might be Costco's problem. I bought a case of Boston Lager from them when I was visiting Florida and it was awful. I returned it and bought some from a gas station and it was the perfect brew I had always known it to be. I even wrote...

Dude, Rooster Fish Brewing in in Watkins Glen. They have the single greatest Brown Ale I've ever had in my life. There's also Two Goats Brewing on the opposite side of the lake (east side) that weren't making beer yet but they were preparing to in August...

if you use a dehumidifier, then you can collect all that extra water you're wasting, boil it, and make MORE BEER WITH IT!

That's why I asked. Cause I do it too. :)

Is it bad to look at the wort with a flashlight while it's doing its thing?

Post a pic of that fermenter lit up like a tree!

Some will probably tell you to warm it up for a diacetyl rest but others will tell you to take a hydrometer reading to make sure it's at the correct F.G. and that will tell you if it's ok to keg or not.

So. All I do is read HBT while I'm at work and I love it but something has occured to me. There are countless topics/threads/discussions regarding length of primary fermentation and length. We've all read it before so let's not go there. But my question pertains to the fact that extended...

Some assembly required

In less that 8 hours. For the first time in four years I cannot go and me and my friends pretty bummed. And in way, I blame the show Brew Masters. I have no doubts that it sold out so quick because of that show and everyone thinking beer is now the hipster thing to get into. In fact, I...
