I wanted to update this thread as I did go ahead and make this mead. It has been sitting in a 1 gallon jug glass container after 1 racking, for about 7 months. I just took a taste of it, and wow is it strong, but not too strong. Taste like a dry red wine, but has an interesting sweet finish. It...

I just thought I would update on this thread referring to this batch. The beer was not that great starting out after about 1 month or so of sitting in the bottle. My capper went bad halfway through bottling, and some were not capped correctly, leaving CO2 to leak out and give it the oxidated...

Okay...so I've been quiet on the forums because I was waiting on my first beer to finish. The record shows that I had high starting temps because, being a newb, I rushed to get started. I didn't incorporate the swamp cooler until the 2nd batch (which bottling day is tomorrow) and I've been so...

Well I ment strictly for empty bottle storage, but being a newb I completely forgot about the conditioning phase. So your suggestion seems like a good idea unionrdr. I've been trying different craft beers lately, trying to expand my palate so I'll start saving those.

I see some mention milk crates, and I think that would be a good way to store them; however I'm not sure where to get them?

So here is the space I have: I have a decently sized closet and I'm a guy so I have quite a bit of space after doing cleaning of it, as the new hobby of brewing is making me crazy with anticipation and all these great ideas. So I'm building up a collection of bottles while I wait for my 1st beer...

Yea I know what it is to the degree of precautions. I might just dispose of it or...make some soap!!!

Hey noodle. I'm in OK as well. Outer okc. Last I was on hunting land was in ardmore and I was a kid (27 now)

No one uses this for anything? I just don't like this chemical sitting in the garage waiting for some accident to happen. Well, guess it's back to google!

Being a beginner myself, extract was the ONLY way I would ever start out in this. I'm still a noob and have a TON more to learn and I'm using extract/steeping grains to experiment and have fun with it. But in the end, if it wasn't for the cans of LME or the DME, I would not have even considered...

Very interesting reads guys. I have never really hunted persay, but I think hunting with a recurve would be awesome, however the amount of time required to be be a good enough shot seems a bit ridiculous, since I'm in college I'm pretty busy as it is with 18 hours this semester. I'm eyeing my...

So I'm not sure if this could be used to clean, but I have a big bottle of Potassium Hydroxide left over from an experiment I did with my vehicle (yes it was the separate water into oxygen/hydrogen) and I just noticed it sitting around the other day. Does anyone use this for anything? I notice...

Never came across this site. Finding some classics and some great looking games I never had a chance to be exposed to. Nice!

I'm just going through the general chit chat finding things I'm interested in posting about, and yes I do shoot the bow every now and then when I have time. I have a 50lb recurve, impala brand I believe. It was a starter bow and so far has been fun, but my accuracy isn't for **** though.

I just knocked one loose a few minutes ago. I was browsing the general thread and found this post and here I am. I have a neti pot at my fiances apartment, I'll have to give that a shot and see how it works. I've noticed with these stones, I cannot eat popcorn anymore. That is where I get in the...
