I think I did something wrong with my tepache. I strained out the fruit on Sunday and gave it a taste test. It was extremely tart, not sweet at all! I let it sit for a total of 5 days, which was probably way too long. I'm pretty sure the yeast that was in the saison went to town and ate up all...

Quick update. It's been 24 hours, and stuff is definitely happening. It smells really good (for now). It has a very slight saison funk scent to it. I can see small bubbles coming up through the fruit, but nothing vigorous.

I'll update my progress every day or two :mug:

After stumbling across this thread yesterday, I decided to try my hand at making some tepache. I didn't want to use one of my fermentation buckets or a carboy, so I used a 2 gallon container that I found in my cabinet. I used two small pinaples, 20 ounces of pilloncillo, 6 cinnamon sticks, one...

Awesome! Could definitely use a new brew pot.

It's happened to me a couple times, and everything still came out perfect. Nothing to worry about.

Awesome! In.

Awesome, in.

In :ban:

I will be brewing my first batch of all grain! Can't wait :tank:

Definitely not! Not to say that I wouldn't drink a growler of Bud if somebody bought me one, but I wouldn't drink one on purpose.

I have a big deep freezer that I have 3 6-gallon buckets fermenting in right now. I taped the temp probe directly on one of the buckets and taped a few layers of paper over the temp probe so it can read the temperature coming off the bucket. I tried just hanging the temp probe in the freezer...

Just like the majority of most "amature" beer drinkers, I thought Budweiser was the end all be all of beers, truly the king of beers. Around 2003, I was stationed in Montana and heard of a bar that sold growlers of whatever they had on tap. The bar was about a 20 minute drive in a tiny little...

Nothing an Irish car bomb can't fix :D

I've only recently started brewing about 2 weeks ago, and after the first brew day I was hooked. Since then I have brewed 4 5-gallon batches. Granted, it's only extract kits, but it's very relaxing. There is something euphoric about sitting outside in awesome weather, with a big pot boiling...

There is no better way to spend the day! Have fun :mug:

After reading through this thread, I'm definitely buying a caribou slobber kit. I never made the connection to Moose Drool. When I was stationed in Montana, a restaurant I frequently ate at had it on tap. It was easily one of my favorites.

Count me in :mug:

I'm a New member and new brewer from El Paso. I have been wanting to brew my own beer for years! I have always talked about it, but I never acted on it. After SEVERAL hours of research (primarily on this very informative forum), I finally pulled the trigger and purchased everything I would need...
