Thanks all.

Oh yeah, I definitely plan on continuing to brew. If anything, I'm going to pick it up a notch. I like the 6 pack of each batch approach. I'll barely feel that. Thanks for the advice. Just off the top of your head, do these take european caps or standard?

A friend of mine just brought me 2 plastic cases of Lohrer 1/2 liter bottles. He flies to Germany with the Air Guard a couple of times a year and brings back a personal supply. What's your basic rule of thumb on a good deed like this one? How many bottles of homebrew to repay this? I...

My newest. This is a low resolution pic. The actual label is much crisper.

I had one a couple of weeks ago too. Very nice. Curious to see what's in it.

Maybe it's a matter of personal taste, but IMHO this stuff is bad; Real bad. It is the first time I can remember actually throwing beer away. Over 4 days, I struggled through 4 of them and had to throw the last two out. I kept thinking, it's gotta get better...but it never did. I...

My first apfelwein batch is done and very well received. My SWMBO and I decided to split the batch 1/2 carbed, 1/2 still. We both really enjoyed it still (the wine-snob in-laws did as well). After 9 days I couldn't stand myself anymore and had to try the one of the carbed bottles. It's not...

Got 2 yesterday. Nice.

That's what I've done. Works very well. Saved me a few weeks back with a hefeweizen. :mug:

Oddly enough, I had a really violent blow off last weekend with wheat beer and I was wondering the same thing. I know it's not the most efficient thing in the world, but I'd like to try it just to say I did it...lol.

I have this set and I'm very satisfied with it. I only use it for partial boils.

Depending on the source anywhere between 8%-20% were quoted as saying race played a role in their voting. Following the state primary that statistic was heavily discussed in the national media. To me, that serves as a de facto "brand" and "racism survey" whether it's fair or not. All of...

:rolleyes: It appears the cookie monster did get your post. Ignorance and racism certainly aren't limited to the State of WV. Depending on which source you look at, for 80-90 percent of the voters here, race played no role whatsoever. It's not perfect, I'll agree. I can't find any...

My wife and I started our first 5 gallon batch Saturday. Call it 5965.

Thought it was just me...those Saranac bottles are a huge p.i.t.a. I've gotten my whole process down to less than 2 hours now...however: Has anyone else had any "accidents" with oxyclean? The last thing I clean is the secondary carboy. I had it clean as a whistle with oxyclean. It...

I had the same problem with my 6 1/2 g carboy. There just wasn't a "perfect-sized" hose to fit the neck. I took a drilled universal carboy bung and completely hollowed it out with an exacto knife. I ran the end of the 1.25 inch hose under hot water to make it pliable and then pushed it into...

Only thing worse than a careless stranger is a careless SWMBO. Giant Beach Trashcan 1 Brand-New Scratch Free Truck 0 It's been 3 weeks and I'm popping the top on my first batch of bottles this weekend. Keeping my fingers crossed for carbonation and general taste of...

That's what I figured. Thanks.

Used the whisk on my last batch. Worked great.

I racked a British Pale Ale to the secondary three days ago. When I took a hydrometer reading, it was still short of final gravity. I know I moved it too quick and it still had a little bit to go before fermentation is finished. I've been noticing peppercorn-sized drops of trub coming to...
