Keep brewing. You, like we all have, WILL make mistakes. A brew log of EVERY step-by-step detail of your process. Refer here for any possible mistakes. Mistakes don't necessarily make bad beer, but learning from them will make great beer. Keep brewing and learning. Eb

I have only done extract brewing, most from a kit or variations on a kit I have done before, from various sites including midwest. If you do them correctly they all turn out great. Even the ones I did not have a taste for were still good beers, and I have never thrown a batch away. Do what you...

I got my cheapo telescope out. Beautiful. One of those things, just seems unreal. Reminds me of a quote by Jack Handy, "Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also...

Start training her early. Once she hits the 1-2 node mark, start GENTLY twisting pinching the trunk. GENTLY. Keep doing this as it grows. This will make a very thick strong truck, and any stress you put on the trellis-ing will not affect the root system. I could go on, but this is not a...

We just got it in today, and we get their releases fairly quickly. Probably won't be on the shelf until Friday. You might ask your local "good beers" joint if they have it in the back. I know we do! haha Eb

Exactly what I do fartman. I moved and the stove in my new place sucks. It'll slowly get to 210F and pause. I put the lid on and press the thing against the burner. Gets to 212F but still not rolling. Lid and press a little longer and it's good. Really sucks, but it does work. Don't keep the lid...

We just got a shipment of this years longshot into work today. I have not tried it before, they wouldn't let me buy it because they didn't inventory it yet. I'll be trying it this weekend. Eb

I have been thinking about an american wheat for the spring, was gonna be buying from you for the first time. A promo would be nice! haha. I'll still be order with you either way man. Eb

I only read one mention of cleaning the bottles. That is the worst part of the entire home brewing process for me. I actually enjoy bottling and capping with a hand capper, but I always have plenty of help. And I am usually quite sauzed by then... Eb

Where is Jersey in here!? Let's Go Devils!!!!!!! Anyone else been to "The Rock" yet? Better question, has anyone bought their way into those VIP sections they taunt us $50 budget fans with? ha! Eb

Cutting flat Apfelwein with... Since I have been making continuous batches of apfelwein, I realized 12oz bottles that will be aged for 3+ months are hard to accumulate(along with the beers I do). I have been bottling every other batch in 1.5 liter wine bottles for a while now. Quick bottling...

4711 +10 = 4721 finally got my buddy and his fiance to start a 5 gal batch of their own and stop drinking all of mine, haha i'll also have another started tomorrow for "myself" Eb

4582.8 +5 = 4587.8 While I am here, question: Has anyone had any weird unkown off tastes using juice? This is far from my first batch, and since the first one it has been delicious. I do it by Ed Wort's recipe every time. I bought extra juice while at the store this batch and opened a...

birch. im gonna look into that, interesting. natural sap should be fairly high in sugar. no idea what the results would be. prob rely on the age, health, etc of the tree....hmm....im going to google eb

My house has a VERY small well, i don't know how I keep dealing with it. homebrewer99 you were joking about the pool, but I actually filled mine in because the well wouldn't keep it level...could not keep up with the rapid decrease of evaporation, haha, and tankers are a f'n rip man, anyways. I...

Hey man I shop at the Wine Rack myself, haha, well only when I need yeast or an extra airlock/stopper quick. I just found out about another shop in Hackettstown www.vintnerscircle.com I haven't been there yet, it looks like they are just as over-priced, but they do have a better...
