Thanks for all the replies! I'm sorry I haven't responded earlier, but due to the impending hurricane, plans keep changing. My friends and I literally flew up to the NE, as well as to all our destinations. Our PC-12 makes for a decent traveling machine, but we had adjust our final...

Some friends and I are about to fly up to the northeast together for a quick run around New England. We won't have a long time in each place, just enough time for a few drinks each night. Looking to maximize fun in a short period. Does anyone have any suggestions for the following places...

I'm a beer/apfelwein guy and this is my first attempt at wine. I can tell you that if you don't you acid blend or pectic blend and you do not rack it, you can wait 10 months and it'll come out great! Rookie mistake, i wrote down everything in my brew log...except the initial gravity--it's on...

Just came across this thread and I'm thinking of doing the same thing, and it also give me a chance to sing the praises of the rocket stoves!! If you haven't heard, it's an incredibly efficient wood burning stove! Search for institutional rocket stove--used to cook/boil large volumes for...

Been thinking about gettin' this mead on. Has anyone tried freeze dried strawberries? I think there are some decent prices right now on strawberries where i live, but i know where to get some freeze dried ones for a good price online...The freeze dried strawberries instructions say "Freeze...

Wondering a general consensus on which yeast y'all like best for this recipe? (I plan on a dry red table wine as a result of this recipe--probably no back sweetening and I don't mind aging up to 18 months.) 1) 71b-11122 2) D47 3) EC-1118 4) K1V-1116 5) Other-Please advise I have or...
