Thanks for all the feedback. I had taken a few gravity tests but now I'm thinking they were too close together. I'm going to give it more time and see if it drops a little more. I stirred it up a bit to wake up the yeast. I'm betting ya'll are right that it didn't finish fermenting. I'd...

Hey, and thanks in advance for any advice. I'm brewing extract. For simplicity's sake, I'll call this a kitchen sink batch. I needed to brew and had to settle for what was on hand but was trying to come as close as I could to copying a recipe. The amounts match the recipe, but the...

85 gallons this year. 14,167.5

@Blackdirt_cowboy Damn, sorry the one leaked. Any chance it still held carb? Thanks for the feedback, @Auger . I took 3 bottles of Abbey Weizen to the family Christmas gathering and was surprised that my dad drank 2 of them the first night. He's a bmc guy and doesn't drink much of what I...

I still get excited and over purchase kits. :D When you're starting out you do need to balance things based on equipment. For example, I didn't have as many bottles back when I started brewing so I had to work around that. If you're worried about burning out, then definitely dial it back a...

Thanks for doing even more giveaways, inkbird! I'm loving the temp and humidity controller from your Oct giveaway. Set up is so easy.

Thanks, @passedpawn ! Those past years are a great resource. Maybe we can beat the 3 consecutive years record. lol

This particular one is just for Christmas. I don't know how long it's been going on here at HBT but the styles come from a list that's included in the original post for this thread.

Krampus arrived today. None broken for me. Thanks guys!

Think I got tracking numbers sent to everyone. Sorry again for the delay with shipping. I'm resisting trying any yet. I promised my sister-in-law I'd bring all the beers I get from this to Christmas next week. Really looking forward to it, especially after all the pics posted here!

Sorry for my silence. It's been crazy lately. Anyway, I will have mine shipped tomorrow. I think I've received 7 so far and none broken. Thanks!!

Welcome! I've got a friend from Kitchener but she doesn't live there anymore.

I spent part of the evening labeling. Some are peeling off. :mad: I used whole milk; not sure if it's technique or what. Unfortunately, I didn't think to have the year or 12 BoC put on them. I guess they taste OK. My dad asked for "more of number 27" and he doesn't usually put in requests.

The batch I was concerned about isn't carbing in the bottles. Thankfully the other batch is drinkable and hopefully enjoyably so! My sister-in-law really liked it and the rest of my family thought it was decent. It's been awhile since I've bottle conditioned so I don't remember if this is...

Please and thanks! This would help so much.

Thanks, @day_trippr !

You have me nervous now. I got a knockout punch to put a heating element in a 20 gal kettle. Glad it was just your lid so it doesn't have to be watertight.

Please and thanks!

I think this is the recipe I used around Christmas last year: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/bknifefights-hard-lemonade.407020/ I toned it down some by using 1# DME and 1# table sugar to hit 6.6% ABV. My bro-in-law is a Mike's Lemonade drinker and claims he drank the 3 gallons of...

I got a bad gas disconnect that I'd purchased brand new. Not sure if that helps but it's possible the disconnect is at fault. I haven't tried taking mine apart to see if it's fixable.
