I made a batch according to the apfelwein recipe, but used Strawberry Kiwi juice instead. I've not sampled it yet, but it's about 3 months old. It's already in a keg, carbonated, and chilling in the fridge. Could I open it up and dump in a gallon or so of juice to backsweeten it? Would I...

Of all the fruit addition threads I've read, I've never seen anyone comment about using the fruit afterwards. I hate to just throw away the 4lbs of raspberries that are currently soaking in my blonde ale. There has to be a use for the mush. Pancakes? Muffins? Bread? Cookies? Anyone...

I ordered a couple of extract kits online last week. This was the first time I've ordered a vial of liquid yeast (white labs), I usually just get dry. Well, because I usually get dry, I forgot that the liquid was in the box. It's been in the box at room temperature for a week. I just...

http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=1197{159}37{158}587 Can this be used with the CO2 cartridges sold at walmart/sporting goods stores in the BB gun aisle? I thought I had read once about "food grade" CO2 dispensers, but can't think of where it was. I'd love to be...

After a large order from AHS last week, I finally got the kegerator up and running this weekend. I successfully ran the gas line through the side of the fridge to the manifold which I mounted inside. Didn't hit any coolant lines either! Then I put the 3 shanks thru the fridge door. So far...

My current regulator has 5/16" red gas line coming off the nipples. I'm adding in a 4 way manifold that has 1/4" nipples. Will 1/4" ID gas line work best for running from the regulator to the manifold? Also, what about the thickness of the gas line? The existing line is red, thick walled...

We bought a used Kelvinator (I've never even heard of this brand) top freezer/bottom refrigerator at the Habitat for Humanity store for $100. I know that it's 15.4 cu ft, but it has no model number on it anywhere. I checked their website, but they only seem to have info for their current...

This is kind of a spin-off from this thread. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/free-brewmasters-tasting-kit-killians-red-108665/index19.html It seems that several of us got invited to participate in a survey panel, with the possibility of more surveys in the future. I thought it would be...

I noticed at the grocery store this weekend that Miller Lite now comes in 6 packs of plastic bottles. Twist off plastic caps. Then I noticed that they also have it in 12 packs of aluminum bottles. Twist off metal caps. These little bottles looked really cool. They were shorter than...

I've got a lead on a sweet deal through Craigslist. Part of the deal is a 5 gallon glass carboy. The problem is, the guy says when he first used it, the stopper that he had was too small. When he went to put the airlock in, the bung fell through and into the carboy. But the bung is too big...

I'm not worried that it's ruined. I'm still going to bottle it. And I'm most definitely going to enjoy it, as it was my very first batch! :mug: I'm just curious how my error will affect the final product. I purchased a Brewer's Best Irish Stout as my first kit. Steeped the crushed grains...
