how do you figure??, if the animal was raised with the use of anything on the banned substance list for organic farming then the bone meal cannot have the USDA organic label I'll agree that using bone meal after the hops are already in the ground will not do much, you have to add it when the...

you should teach your carboys how to tie a double windsor knot... fat neck tie knot all the way! and for the record my carboys generally wear my old SIU carbondale hoodies (go dawgs :rockin:)

that's really interesting, I've never heard of such a setup, it seems a lot simpler and cheaper than any of the other hydro setups I've seen thanks for the link, I'll look into this for next year :)

in addition to crystalcabot's questions, what is your growing medium? I'm not a hydroponic expert by any means (a friend's grandpa had a hydro setup for tomatoes and another friend's father in law showed me his ebb and flow setup for various plants (none of the illegal variety)) but it looks...

flashlight.... by far the most useful app i've seen for the iphone... I've thought about getting one just for that app (I use my phone more for a watch and flashlight than anything else)

yes, especially for sam bottles, they are really easy to float off in just hot water, then if you add a bit of oxyclean you are golden, why waste $.02 on a cap for each bottle and suffer the pain of capping the bottles if you don't need to ADD: apparently I have a different experience than...

just thought I would share my story: saturday night around 11:00PM I pitched a single vial or white labs yeast into 5 gal of 1.044 OG beer @ 72ish degrees, I had never used white labs yeast before (I usually use wyeast activators and I've used dry yeast a few times). I have never had...

rtockst - your LHBS should have grommets for an airlock (it is located a little south of 270 on 159, the guy behind the counter a few weeks back looked like he could use some company) as for the smell, if you washed it out with some water and a soft towel, shaking some sanitiser around in it...

I filled up down on hall street tuesday for 1.39 :) I think it was at the time the cheapest gas in the country

As everyone has suggested I plan to let it age a while before I declare it officially terrible, and even if it does end up really bad perhaps I could serve it to already drunk friends :drunk: I'll keep that in mind next time I've got something that tastes good

I ate today, but will be brewing an imperial stout tomorrow after work
