I am moving to Michigan and need room in my truck. I am selling off materials and gear for CHEAP. I would hate to donate this to Goodwill and have most of it end up in the trash. Make me an offer for everything, or individual items. I have: * Better bottle (5 gallon, used once) * Wine...

So, i have those yeasts to choose from due to stuff I have left over. I don't mind experimenting a little, and other cider (Crispin) uses belgian yeasts if I am not mistaken. I have made applewein, and it turns out very ... flavorless. This time around, I want something with a little less...

Thank you everyone for the replies. How much cinnamon and ginger would you advise?

Hello, After years of absence on the forum, I have recently brewed some beer and am going to attempt my first apple cider. I am going to buy 5 gallons of 100% applejuice (probably from costco) and then add some brown sugar , cinnamon and maybe a tiny bit of ginger. I need help deciding...

Hello, It has been quite a long time since I brewed beer. About a year actually, but as always, once I do a batch I get all back into it. My friend asked me to brew some beer for his wedding. Honored, I have set out to make sure I do everything "right". I did Northern Brewers Black IPA last...

Arizona Chinook Hops. First attempt. Cascade is on the right of it (not pictured) and not doing as well. I am happy with the results. I wish I didnt have a damn HOA restriction, and wish I had more room for them. Thank god I have a huge wall in my back yard due to the neighbors behind us being...

Hello all, 2 days prior to the 4th of July, I placed an order with Northern Brewer for some things I needed. The next day they announced their "Spend more than 100 bucks and we will give you a 25$ gift card" sale. So I cancelled my original order, placed a new order with a larger bill, and...

So this is what I send my GF to ask her facilities/HVAC staff: "The fridge only gets as warm as 50 degrees when regulated by the built in controls. It will then will cycle the compressor until it is back down to 45 degrees. I need to maintain the fridge between 65 and 70 degrees a few times...

Well, here is the thing. I have been googling to find out if there is anyone who can speak to this, but I can't seem to find any evidence or a site claiming that using a traditional power cut of is harmful or not. Normally I can find a good response on this site. My thinking is this, the...

I appreciate your input and opinion. Anyone else ?

Hello. SWMBO just bought me a brand new fridge for my birthday. Awesome gift. I had a keezer that broke. I was using a temp controller to keep it from freezing. I am not sure if I need to add that temp controller to this fridge or not, but if the fridge will not get as warm as 65 degrees on its...

Hello all!! I am pleased to announce that I planted some hops in my back yard, and one of them is doing exceptionally well. I am pretty sure the huge plant is a Chinook variety and the other is a Cascade. My Mt. Hood died. So I have something eating my leaves. What is it? Any ideas? See...

I am on "A Storm of Swords" . I started reading them due to liking the TV series so much. I must say, the series follows the first book almost to the T. The books are better because it gives so much more insight to the history of events leading up to the beginning of the first book. I...

Well, thank you very much everyone for all of your help and support. I am going to have to get a new one. :-(
