Yea I definitely would like something light as it might appeal to more people. I'm looking around and found this, thoughts? Ideas for ingredients? Another one from the Ciechan brewery, this one stands out in the list because of one of its unique ingredients – natural honey! Ceichan Miodowe has...

I'm looking for recipe ideas for a Polish beer. A friend is getting married at the end of the summer and I was asked to make a Polish style beer. I know nothing about Polish beer and was hoping people could lend some advice with ingredients and methods. Thanks.

Any luck getting this cancelled and refunded? I still have not received a shipping notification.

Wow that is so lame. So they are shipping through retailers but not honoring their pre-orders? Did you get a refund for your pre-order?

Thanks for the update man. hopefully they get here before the end of August.

So I pre-ordered the new brewie back in early March and am still waiting. I am just wondering if everyone in the US is having the same issue or not. The company said they started shipping in April but I haven't received any info on my unit. They also don't do a good job of explaining what is...

Good analogy lol. I am going to just use a separate siphon and tubing. I have some potassium sorbate that I could add as well, not sure if I want to use it or not. I appreciate all the comments though.

So i have read that you can use campden tabs to kills off wild yeast before fermentation. Can you also use it after to kill off any organisms in there and make it a clean cider?

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Is there a way to kill off the yeast so that I could use my regular equipment? My problem is that I would like to keg it and I don't necessarily want to dedicate a keg to wild yeast.

I made a cider with the natural bugs on the apples. Do I need to worry about killing the wild yeast before I siphon. Sorry I don't know much about wild yeast but I keep worrying that it's similar to bacteria in the sense that it can affect other batches and you should use separate equipment. Thanks.

Thanks guys. Also I was thinking more on the lines of build up in the machine over time like scale build up. I suppose if that did happen I could do a vinegar rinse or something.

I have been searching the web trying to find out if you can do water adjustments with the zymatic. Can you adjust your water profile with the zymtic and if so how do you go about doing it. I would think that if you just dumped it in the keg with the water it might gunk up the machine because it...

Yea I talked to someone and they made a good point about Nutella having a ton of oil which will reduce head retention. I am thinking maybe some lactose for body and unfermentable sweetness.

So I have been thinking about this and thought maybe I could add nutella to the secondary to bring up the sweetness and try to cover up some of the mint flavor. I was thinking that would also give it a little more chocolate flavor as well. The only concern I have is that I was going to bottle it...

So if it doesn't end up working or stalls in the middle or something like that I don't see why I couldn't pitch some fresh yeast, right? Also I was thinking maybe a berliner and hopefully the flavor would compliment it. Plus they are generally around 4% so hopefully the yeast would be able to...

Yea I should have added the mint over time and tasted. Definitely will do that in the future. I actually bittered with polaris and was going to dry hop right before bottling if the mint didn't come through. I was actually thinking maybe throwing some chunks or staves from a barrel in there. Do...

I made a chocolate mint stout that is currently in the secondary for about 2 months now and has been sitting on some cocoa nibs and straight peppermint tea bags. I tasted it a couple weeks ago and it is very minty and has more of a coffee taste than a chocolate taste. Is there anyway I can dull...

I am currently fermenting a cider naturally and was thinking about reusing that natural yeast for another beer. I am not sure what style I would use but wanted to see if anyone else has done this before or can tell me why this wouldn't work. Also suggestions on what style would work well. Thanks.

That is true I guess I could always change stuff up a bit to make it work.
