PETA asks Pet Shop Boys to change their name

Anyone who has expertise in this area, I need your help. My septic tank drain field isn't working properly, and I've gotten a quote from a local company to fix it for $4100.00. That means digging up the old lines and attaching 100' of new drain lines to the ends. Does this sound...

Thanks Aintitcool!

Does Rogue still bottle-condition Dead Guy with Pacman? I can't tell from their site.

I've got an American Blond Ale sitting on 6 lbs of blueberries in secondary. The blueberry flavor is not as well-developed as I'd like it to be, so I was thinking of adding a tablespoon or two of lemon or lime juice to the bottling bucket when I bottle. I know you do that in baking to bring out...

Anybody ever tried it? I don't have the ability to lager anything (yet) or I'd try it myself, but I'm wondering what the effect would be, if any.

Has anyone on here built their own compost tumbler? My wife and I are pretty into gardening, moderate DIY projects and generally more green ways of doing things. I've read here and in many other places that spent grain can be great for a compost heap, so I'd like to start composting with it...

Just had a bottle of this last night, and I really liked it. Dark and malty, a hint of chocolate or coffee, and a nice bitter hop aftertaste. I will be buying this again!

I like it. A lot. anybody else agree/disagree?

Tonight I bottled an ESB. My dishwasher gets hot enough to sanitize, so I always run my bottles through it once with soap, then again with a little Starsan to make doubly sure everything is sanitized; it works like a charm. Today I ran the bottles through, then around 8:00 I started the bottling...

Can't wait 'til tomorrow! I've got Yooper's Dogfish Head 60 IPA clone cold-crashing that needs to be bottled, and YuriRage's Thunderstruck Pumpkin ale that needs to go to the bright tank. I've also got a bottle of Ommegang Abbey Ale that I want to harvest the yeast from. I've got all day...

Good morning all! Suddenly it turns out that my first AG brew will also be my first solo brew, and it's happening this weekend. I didn't plan it that way; I had it set up to have an experienced brewbuddy come over and assist me, but he had forgotten about a wedding he's got to go out of town...

Hi all - got a question regarding the safety of different bottling options. I have a bottle of McCormick's Root Beer extract that I want to make, and I have a whole lot of glass beer bottles at my disposal. However, since there's no primary/secondary fermentation period where the yeast can go...

Has anyone ever used those big 5 gal plastic water bottles you can get at the grocery store as a carboy? If so, how'd it do? If it worked, seems like that would be a pretty cheap, sturdy alternative for primary and secondary, etc.

Does anyone know the base SG for plain, unpasteurized unpreserved nonalcoholic apple cider? Or an average? I started my cider brewing a week or so ago, before I got a hydrometer. Now I have one, and the SG is .990, and I think the fermentation is done. Since I don't have the original SG, I don't...
