The Kiwanis nearby has a blueberry sale each summer in 10 lb quantities. I created this wine recipe to use them all in a 3 gallon batch. 10 lbs fresh blueberries, frozen 1 campden tablet, crushed 1 tablespoon acid blend 1 tablespoon yeast nutrient 1/2 teaspoon wine tannin 1.5 teaspoons...

So I picked up some homebrew supplies on Craiglist and I think I'm pretty close to where I need to be to start AG brewing. First, I got this unusual electric bucket. It seems like your typical 6 gallon primary fermentation bucket, but it has a heating element inside, a dial outside and it...

Here's what I've got - I started an IPA this afternoon and then realized I didn't quite plan ahead on the yeast selection. I have a Munton's Gold packet. I have never used Munton's - I've always opted for a liquid starter or a Safale yeast. I also have a packet of Nottingham which I have...

Here's the story; I bought some homebrewing equipment from some guy on craigslist and he threw in this Brewer's Best German Oktoberfest extract kit.... minus the yeast. I don't really want to lager, but looking at the ingredients, I feel like this might be somewhat close to a Pale Ale if I...

Well, I bought 6 corny kegs and a huge CO2 tank from a guy on Craiglist; only problem is that they've been sitting in his dank garage for years. After a long day of cleaning and scrubbing, I have a couple questions. First, all of the kegs are different and this one doesn't seem to have...

So just as I finished cooling my brown ale earlier today in a sink full of ice, I opened the lid to my brew kettle only to immediately have a small moth fly directly into my wort! I quickly fished him out of there but I know that some sort of moth parts had to be left behind. :drunk...

I am inspired to make a pomegranate wine; I'd like to do a 3 gallon batch with juice or fresh fruit. People have posted some basic recipes and info on making pom wine, but I have yet to hear of any success stories with complete recipes. So I was wondering if anyone has made a successful...

So I'm thinking about getting one of these.... It's technically a wine degasser that you attach to a drill, and use to whip the gas out of wine. This I understand... But some people use them as wort aerators as well and Midwest is even selling this one as a multi-use tool. Also, my LHBS...

I saw this corny keg for sale on Craigslist; if it's the new style that works with home brew systems, then it's comparable to a $150 model for sale on KC. What do you guys think, is this a good buy...

I've been lurking on the site for a while now and figured I'd post; I've been making wine for years, but I'm jumping into home brewing beer in the next week or so with some 2009 Hop Nog. Wish me luck!:mug:
