    Made myself a "proper" mash tun this weekend

    I based it on flyangler's design, except apparently SS 4/8" fender washers don't exist in Fort Worth, so I had to use 5/8" rubber washers instead. The bulkhead wiggles a bit, and leaks 2 or 3 drops an hour, but until I find SS washers, I'll deal with that. Last weekend I did a BIAB, and got...

    How's this Sticke Alt look?

    Also my first AG. Going with the BIAB method for now, since I'm too broke to be buying coolers and an extra pot ATM. Between now and when I brew next week I'll figure out how to nail the mash temp a bit better. Got the pilsner malt double crushed since I'm expecting crap for efficiency. 6.50#...

    Anyone have any experience souring a beer with yogurt culture?

    I read about this on a site or two, and it seems like a cheaper way to introduce the lactic bugs. For those of you in a part of the country with a significant Mexican population, you may be familiar with a "drink" stocked in the yogurt section called Bio-Salud. It's basically an oz of nonfat...

    Anyone ever heard of Alestorm?

    I was checking out vids of people's fermentations on youtube, and I found this band Alestorm. YouTube - Alestorm - Huntmaster Pirates + metal = AWESOME. Wenches and Mead was the first song I heard, and they even have a German version. I think I found some new brewing music :mug:

    Argg! Can't remember the name of this honey...

    I saw a honey at the LHBS today...but I can't remember the name (I did buy a few lbs though). It was "star something"....I want to say star thrush? Is that right? Anyway, I was going to do a traditional. 4# of this honey + 1118, unless of course anyone has any better ideas. I tasted it and it...

    Should I rack this melomel yet?

    Mango melomel. 3lbs clover honey, 2.5lbs total mangos, but after the pits and skin came off, it was probably more like 2lbs or slightly less: I used 1116. I was planning on leaving it for a while longer but it seems to be awful thick on the bottom. I didn't take an OG reading because I...

    mead + green tea + fruit...good?

    I tried searching the forums for anyone using Arizona green tea, but only found one or two mentions of using a decent amount of green tea. I was thinking something along the lines of: 3lbs clover honey 2lbs plums or oranges topping off to 1gal w/ Arizona green tea 1 campden tablet 1116...

    The Winemaker Shop in Ft. Worth - Out of business?

    I was going to take a trip down there, but the google maps street view for that address shows an oil derrick and a barren field, and the phone rings and rings with no answering machine or anything. Is this shop still open? It's not exactly close so I don't want to go all the way down there for...

    Someone else from Texas

    Just wanted to say hello as I just joined up last night. I've been homebrewing almost 2 years, but couldn't really do it often. I used to live in Lubbock, and there aren't very many yeast strains that are tolerant to the temps there, since its 110° for 6 months, then 30° for 6 months. I just now...

    First attempt at my own recipe (and this style)

    I've been homebrewing about two years but have never just made up my own recipe before. I could only brew during the cooler months of the year since where I lived it was very hot (Lubbock), but now I've just moved to Ft. Worth. Anyway, I've never tried to brew this style before, nor have I ever...
