When I first stumbled onto this, my weapon of choice was a glass of hombrew... I can only assume my plan would be to chug that b*tch and rage on some Zeds with whatever I could get my hands on. Although that is not my existing survival plan, it seems logical enough right?

So I had my first homebrew dream last night...it was less than pleasant. So it goes like this: I'm in my apartment, and have some acquaintances over. One is a BMC only type of guy, the other was a nameless/faceless friend of his. He asks me for a beer so I tell him they are in the fridge so...

So I was cooking tonight and had another one of my "major" revelations. "What's the deal with bitter beer face?!" I asked myself. "Theres absolutely nothing wrong with a well made bitter beer, sure IPA's can be quite bitter. But when they are done right, they are great!" So my question...

And my last beverage recipe from German-American Folklore, a really interesting drink. Aside from #58 Spruce beer, this recipe looks really interesting to me and I think I might try it when I get a chance. Let me know what y'all think of this old migrant wine recipe!

Again, from German-American Folklore a pretty old drink recipe I assume the yeast cakes are used to naturally carbonate the root beer. Feel free to mix it up a bit from this old immigrant recipe.

So SWMBO picked up a book entitled "German-American Folklore" today from the campus library, and a section of it is "foodways". This chapter includes info on old butchering practices and many recipes. One of which I was delighted to see was recipe #58, Spruce Beer. It is as follows: I dont...

So I am about to start bottling my "Witzbold Weizen" and I decided to use the idea of the dishwasher rack as a makeshift bottle tree. Well, I found out I could take it a step further and affix the Vinator to the middle post just as you would to the top of the bottle tree! (pics after I'm done...

So the other day I go to have dinner with SWMBO after she got off of work at a local restaurant here in town. While we are sitting at the bar one of her coworkers is rambling about nonsense the whole time right in between us. She's going on and on about how shes running on adderall and coffee...

So, it is now day 4 after brewing up my Witzbold Weizen and it is for sure 100% infected. I was told by my LHBS owner not to synch the lid down for the first few days because the WL hefeweizen yeast is pretty strong and will foam up real big and clog the airlock, so leaving the lid loose will...

So having my first batch fermenting currently, I'm already planning another. However, I would like to have one to call my own so I don't plan on using another kit. What I'm looking for here are some suggestions to improve this recipe I came up with using Beersmith. Be gentle, as I really have...

Has anyone tried it? Is it worth a try? I've made a couple small 1 gallon batches of cider and apfelwein (I've got one sitting on peach slices and another on agave nectar currently). But I'm wondering if it would be worth a shot to steep some teabags in a gallon of cider to hopefully impart...

Hey all, I'm new here and fairly new to the homebrew scene. I'm 21 and currently reside in Tuscaloosa, Al attending the university. So far I have made a few small 1 gallon batches of cider and apfelwein with satisfactory results. I even made a cyser(if you can call it that) with agave nectar...
