Hey all. Im looking to something real special for a buddy of mine, looking for a 3 liter bottle AKA Double Magnum, finished for a belgian cork or similar closure. Any tips?

I'm not the leader of a labor union, so I have no say over anything here.

You should only be adding Pumpkin Spice anything if your goal is to attract the most caucasian of white women. You have been warned.

Alright guys and gals, I've encountered a serious problem, on more than one occasion, and it's rustling my jimmies. I've been to multiple craft breweries, growler in hand, only to be told, "I'm sorry, we only fill our growlers. You'll need to buy one from us for twice the price of a fill...

Beats me, I got the rhizomes from the LHBS.

Anyone in the Sacramento area or surrounding area doing a group buy for juice? I'd like to get on that gravy train.

Good tip, I've been hand watering thus far and every ounce counts. Which is part of the reason why i want to move my plants to ground, the airpots have insanely high evapotranspiration rates.

Thanks for the input, homies. I did the compost thing in a wheelbarrow, it was a stinky messy mess that needed too much time and effort for me. Irrigation is easy to get, theres a 1" main line for a drip system within very close proximity. As for the soil ecology, I get it, I spent a...

hey all, I've got a patch of yard that was supposed to become a garden when we moved in to the house, but ultimately it sat fallow for 5 years. It's suffered abuses from dogs and cats and everything else that lives in suburban Mid-Cal. It's got no irrigation and hasnt been tilled or...

Pics or you're a dirty liar!

Hey yall. What's the best way to convince people with apple trees and pear trees that giving me the fruit from said trees is a good idea?

yes, that.

This'll knock off everyone's socks. I don't use any sort of insulation because I find that I dont have enough heat loss to worry about it. I have around 10 lb of grain in my batches, using a 10gal aluminum stock pot. I live in Sacto, Ca. It's 100°F outside. I could mash by leaving my kettle in...

Less water isn't going to lower your OG. It sounds to me that you got bad mash efficiency and higher than expected grain absorption. (science time), Og measures the amount of sugar in solution. Adding more solution medium (water) just decreases the amount of solubles (stuff in solution) per a...

It should be noted that the level of flavor imparted by dry hopping is not linear, it's more of a sinusoidal curve. If you're going to dry hop and let it sit for 2 months you may as well not do it at all.

Is this something that i could use galangal root in? (i just wanna be different)

this whole thing we do is more of an art than a science, and as such there is no one way to go about this. Do what feels right.

Make sure you've punched in all relevant information into beersmith's equipment wizard correctly.

I wouldnt add cold brew for a couple of reasons. 1) it's not sanitary, ie you havnt boiled cold brew and you're adding it to cooled wort. 2) you'll lose a very large proportion of the volatiles that make up a really good cup of coffee, similar to how hop character degrades over time.

New. I want to cellar this for a time and not have any flavors imparted other than oak.
