I talked to a brewer a few years back (at Soggy Bottom Brewery) because his peach IPA was one of the best things i ever had. I was having trouble with fruit fermenting too much and lets face it, extracts mostly suck. He suggested dropping the fruit in and cold crashing it out within a day...

Not a good idea for most people to put their wife in charge of regulating their beer intake. That can lead to alcoholism, divorce, jail, etc. 😊

Are you certain it wasnt from the “Upside Down”?

Congrats. It’s a good idea to break a few dishes and ruin some laundry early on in the marriage. It took me a few years to figure out the nuances of the lawn. But now, im barely allowed to gas up the mower.

Is there a trick to getting the perlicks apart? I cant seem to get the handle leaver out of the faucet. (I have the white plastic little collar.) Edit: ah forward seal was blocking me. Seemed like that round piece was just to big.

I picked this replacement top up on sale at Williams brewing. This plastic lid has what looks like the top of a two liter bottle attached via a metal clamp. There is also a pressure release hole and two angled spouts for ball lock posts. (I broke the original top trying to pry off before i...

I dont know, but this gave me a new idea on what to do with that three piece airlock.

I put a camera out to see what was eating my baby hop leaves in the greenhouse. Mice. Could get a cat-But then how do you get rid of the cats. Pardon while i sneeze just from typing c-a-tchoo.

I still like an old fashioned west coast as well. I had to stop drinking for 6 months and my palate sorta went back to normal. Also was drinking a NEIPA with a buddy and he mentioned, some of these have a note of mouth vomit. Cant get that out of my head now.

So reading the electric brewing page, he mentions to adjust the sparge water ph to avoid pulling tannins. My method has been to mash with adjusted RO water. Then use filtered tap water fairly hard, hi ph stuff, to sparge -figuring i am just washing the sugars. Its funny, yesterday i noticed...

I wish i had just read this 5 years ago.

Shipping is cost prohibitive.

I was just looking at Wyeast nutrient. It has organic nitrogen. Are there any of these that dont have pee in them? I dont want to add pee to my beer because, well, that defies the whole point of my existence as a beer drinker.

For the lid, a plastic interior car trim kit has good tools to wedge in there without destroying. I bought one of ebay for $12 to pop those evil plastic rivets in car dash.

Just need to shout out to Williams. They had parts i needed for fermzilla and shipped them coast2coast to my door in under 48 hours. Amazing. I live in a remote city and we have always joked we dont have overnite mail. This was standard ship, too.

It took me years to realize that the off taste of draft beers at the aussie steakhouse were the glass rinse behind the bar. After the third glass goes from cleaner into rinse, the rinse becomes the cleaner. Having high PH hard water makes great stouts but makes pbw residue tough to rinse from...

He probably brewed the first hard seltzer but people weren't ready for it yet.

I used to float my extract boil pots covered with foil in the swimming pool but i suppose it would be really slick to hot pack a corny and let it go swimming. I wouldnt have to worry about it tipping.

I haven’t seen a lot of info about serving a hazy ipa from the fermentor, or specifically the fermzilla. As of late ive scaled back my usage and although ive got conicals, kegs, and keezers galore, i wanted to try simplification with the added benefits of easy cold crash and less chance for...

Aha, i have been out for several Months but just noticed Austin & AIH was in lockstep with MW and NB. They all sent out coupons that didnt work. I only bought loss leaders from them once inbev stepped in but now im done. Morebeer does good with what they have for me. Id also shout out to...
