I'm in the dark right now, but i also did one a few months back- finally found this thread of like-minded agave-wine curious people. in a five gallon batch, i used 1 Gal of dark blue agave nectar, and 24# of strawberries in secondary. unbeknownst to me, my hydrometer was broken, so i didn't...

I made a trash can full of this last year. It was so good, we just ran out, we're going to make 2 trash cans full this year. We just throw a party and a bunch of cats throw down on it, and everyone walks away with 5-10 Gal before the holidays. We skipped the backsweetening, and carbed like...

The first beer i kegged was a DFH120 clone. The second will be this :) Lesson learned when playing beerpong with DFH120, i NEED to brew beers like this. Going the sorachi ace route, it sounds delicious! and i'm sure will be exactly what i need to convince my new roommate to get into the...

made this exactly, and added 6# of strawberry puree when Ralphs had strawberries for $1/#. honestly drank a third of it straight from the carboy. well, SWMBO did... Making my second one of this tonight, same recipe, but this week Ralphs had raspberry pints for $1. adding 5# of raspberry...

not trying to be a jerk about this stuff. i'd love to start a nanobrewery, abide by all state laws and do it right. but until i get there, i'd also love to share the brews with as many people as possible. Hoping this could be the one step needed before doing it all real. always love Revvys...

i know most of us aren't lawyers, i appreciate putting up with the repetition of the same questions... on that note... say i work for the corporation, and they happen to give me a "bonus" at the end of this contracted job. and i happen to "give" a bottle to all of my co workers as a parting...

side note- they won't actually be paying me. but they might happen to buy me a whoooole bunch of awesome brew equipment... Doing up about 60Gallons. They want 300-350 Wine bottles of homebrew.

Someone has asked me to brew a special beer for an event of theirs. The bottles will be part of the gift bags for the attendees. It is a corporation, and as far as we see it, they are just buying raw ingredients, paying me something, and i'm donating these bottles to gift bags for non-paying...

I would love to if i were a kegger. unfortunately i go straight to 22oz bottles, on a good day. Agreed though. word to the wise, crazy yeast!!!

title says it all. i took a risk, and used the dregs of thier collab "Faster Bigger Better Bolder, Quietly Gradually Steadily". I knew it was risky, but i gave it a shot, grew the dregs into 1/2 Gal starter, then pitched it in a pale ale. My intent was to add some asian pears, persimmons, and...

Thanks- This is exactly what i'll do. I do an imperial grapefruit saison every spring, and i think i just found an excuse to brew it 4 times in a weekend.

found this craigslist ad: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/grd/2800919434.html any reason I couldn't use these for aging? would love to put 59 Gal of sour in these puppies. I called the guy, his answer was that he just got them from local So.Cal vineyards in the last 3 weeks so...

labels for my xmas brew. packaged in 22's, forrest green wax-tipped. boom!

not to revive an old thread....but i just had my first carboy explode, and i felt the need to tell someone. i was just being lazy/drunk. i had just brewed my first 15 gallon batch, but i didn't prepare enough plastic jugs, so i just threw the last 5 gallons into a ...5gallon glass carboy. i...

ok, so we've made moves. we put some deep thought into this one. I was almost going to go off and try to do that bunglers bane barley wine, but i would have had to substitute bunglers bane for a real life shelf mushroom, and then dilute it a bit becuase i only have 5 months to let it sit...
