I've been scavenging info on brewing an acorn beer & was wondering if anyone here has done this yet. From what I've read, acorns are high in tannins, though, and would need to be flushed pretty good before the mash. They are probably oily as well, which would likely mess up head retention. There...

Well, I had a slow day at work, so I entered a photoshop contest at crestock.com today. I drew a 'Bubbles For President' poster like the Obama branded ones. Those of you familiar with Trailer Park Boys will get it, everyone else definitely will not. Here is the link: Bubbles For President...

CL score today. It has 3 posts on it..... some kind of level sensor :confused: There is also an old, faded sticker on the side that I noticed after I got it home that looks like it says it had distilled water in it, and 'do not ingest' is on there as well. The guy I got it from...

Can anyone here get me close to the Sam Adams Octoberfest? It has to be extract, I'm not set up for AG yet. Thanks!

I have an IPA brewing right now & the aroma has saturated the house. There is something primordial about that smell...

After being into homebrewing for only two months, I got the 'it's an illness' speech last night from my wife. I denied it of course, and wisely decided against arguing that it was actually a 'passion'. I guess she noticed the 11 cases of bottles, 2 sanke kegs, 4 carboys, fridge, giant ice chest...

I've been cruising around ebay and have noticed that 3 gal corny kegs always have lots of bidders and what seems like a high price to me. Are they harder to find? Who uses 3 gal kegs anyway?

Has anyone here made a wooden floor for a sanke keg in a regular fridge, one with the freezer on top? My new free CL fridge has a nice hump in the back & needs a floor added for my sanke to fit. I'm curious about drilling & screwing/bolting into the plastic and the stability factor. I'm assuming...

I'm ready to start my second batch & I'm going with a wheat this time. I was able to keep my first batch @ 70-72° in a carboy in a cooler in my closet with ice bottles, but I was wondering if I could just keep it in there at the room temp of 78° without a cooler at all. I'm thinking it would be...

I've been reading about long-term food storage, particularly grains, & one of the techniques that caught my eye was using a piece of dry ice in a 5 gallon bucket, then filling the bucket up 3/4 of the way with dried grain, and then placing a silica gel packet on top. The dry ice melts, turning...

I just got an extra 5 gal glass carboy & it has rust around the lip, I guess from a metal cap long ago. I've tried oxyclean, but no luck. How do I get this off? It's on the outside, but it really bugs me. Thanks.
