Almost four weeks later, and my Raspberry Apfelwein is still producing very tiny bubbles that I can only see by shining a flashlight on my carboy. Once all has settled for about a week, I'll bottle and then try to leave it alone for a month. Lord, grant me patience, RIGHT NOW! :D

Get a 2 oz. spray bottle. Add 10 drops of lemongrass essential oil. (you can also add a few drops of orange, rosemary, eucalyptus, or mint essential oils) Add a 1/2 tsp. of vodka, then top it off with olive or canola oil. Boom. You've just made a natural insect repellent that won't harm...

goosen1, As sweet as peach juice is, I'm imagining by now there must be a Category 5 hurricane happening in your carboy! Do let us know how it turns out!

I have several family members who are the stereotypical 12-Step RECOVERED alcoholics. You know the type, that sees you once a year at holidays, and if you happen to have a beer in your hand, that instantly makes YOU an inveterate boozer. So I definitely get the lectures about how my hobby is...

I enjoy it flat, as do my friends. I tell them it's more like a wine than a cider, and they're like :tank:

I've made this before, and I and everyone I shared it with loved the results! So, I'm trying a little experiment... I've got two new batches of this recipe running, with a slight twist. Before pouring the apple juice, sugar, and such, I added 48 oz of Vintner's Harvest Raspberry puree into...

JalaPeno, that's awesome! Thanks!

Roundhouse Brewing Company. I've studied martial arts since I was a kid, and the roundhouse is one of my best kicks. Plus, I just like the sound of the word 'roundhouse'. :)

Hello everyone! I'm brewing up a batch of beer to give to my Dad for Christmas. It's a Chipotle Scotch Ale. (Dad used to special order a jalapeno beer, whose name escapes me at this time) Anyway, I'd like to have a label for it, but I have no artistic talent of any kind. I can't draw a...

Racked to secondary last night. Can't wait until it's finished! :)

Hello, everyone! I'm back on the forums, and I'll be trying this recipe this weekend. Wish me luck! :D

Don't get me started on Virginia drivers...

That kind of thing happens a lot at fightingarts.com. Someone will sign up, and ask a bunch of experienced, knowledgable martial artists what the best book is to learn MA from. When we tell them that you can't really learn from a book, that you need an actual instructor to teach you, they...
