I just got an order in from thinkgeek and the catalog shows that you can get your favorite microbe as a stuffed animal. They carry everyone's favorite: Saccharomyces Cerevisiae. http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/6708/

I finished a batch of sake based on Bob Taylor's guide and bottled it into about 18 beer bottles. He is adamant that it needs to be pasteurized in order to be shelf stable. He recommends pasteurizing twice, once during the secondary and once at bottling. I did pasteurize once while it was in...

So now my interest is piqued and I'd like to learn more about cheese making. Is there a standard introduction book to cheese making like How to Brew or Joy of Hombrewing for homebrewing?

I'm working on a logo for my brewery. The name is Gebler Hund which is "yellow dog" in German (named after my big yellow lab). My friends got together and had a professional graphic artist mock up a logo but I wasn't really happy with it. I did like the dog in it, so I worked on some...

On Monday I will be sending out beer to jnorris, Brewsmith and Joebou4860. I am a new brewer that got started last Christmas with a Mr. Beer kit gift from my in-laws. Don't worry, I won't be sending out my results from Mr. Beer. I quickly moved to extract brews and more recently have started...

I knocked my autosiphon off of the counter onto the ground and the check valve popped out of it. This is the 2nd autosiphon of mine that this has happened to. The first time it cracked the tube, so I went out and bought a new one. However this time, there is nothing wrong with it except for...

Has any managed to reuse Lindemans lambic bottles for homebrew bottling? They look like great bottles. They seem to be about as thick as champagne bottles, but in a 12 ounce size. They come from the store sealed with a cork and then a crown cap is placed on top. I presume the cap is only...

I am looking to put together a draft kegging system. I've been looking into regulators and generally the cheapest dual regulator setup I can find is around $65, even on Ebay. But tonight I stumbled across this auction for a dual regulator for $35...

I'm trying to start reusing my yeast where possible. In the past I have pitched a new batch directly onto the leftover yeast from a previous batch and it works fine for me. But this time I just finished fermenting a batch and I'm not ready to brew another one. So I thought I would try washing...

I'm thinking about building an AG system and have been looking around at people's setups. I haven't seen any tankless hotwater heaters used for RIMS (or would that be HERMS) systems, but it seems like an obvious use to me. For $200 you can get some small 3kw heaters designed for bathroom...

I'm a brand new brewer from the Chicago area (actualy Oak Park). I got a Mr. Beer kit for xmas from the in-laws. The kit failed miserably with no signs of life after the yeast was added. However the kit got me intersted in the process. I've ordered a bucket starter kit from Northern Brewer...
