yeah, I used to buy that beer a lot when I was collecting bottles. It's decent beer and, like the other's said, it's just a tad more than buying empty bottles, so it's a no-brainer if you need more...

My son (11) helps me all the time and he hates beer. He just likes the process and feeling useful, and we all know an extra pair of hands comes in helpful quite often!

Now THAT sounds awesome. I always want to clear the head space in my secondary after racking, esp if the beer has zero air-lock activity and can't push the air out on it's own.

Sounds interesting... are you still going to use hops anyway? You might have problems keeping it sanitary if you don't use ANY hops (bacteria will get in there and make it a sour).

Steep some cara-pils (0.5 lb) or add some maltodextrin (6oz) so it has some body, otherwise it'll be pretty 1 dimensional. A little mouth-feel goes a long way, even with a light beer.

Yep, I was just going to tell you to put it out in the garage for a lower temp "cold crash". The colder you get it (without freezing), the more it will clear up.

Also, you might want to consider...

I know dried cranberries are easy to find... maybe that would work for you? Maybe rehydrate in some hot/boiling water??

I'm also interested to see if this works out, so keep us posted, m-kay?

Simple Starches in the Mash from Veggies?

Also, has anyone ever tried...
