Yes it was disclosed right on the label, but we're talking about less then an ounce in a 5 gallon batch. I guess I wouldn't suggest drinking it if your pregnant, although if you are drinking while pregnant the wormwood might be doing the world a favor.

I'm thinking that it would be interesting to do a freeze distilled beer with wormwood. Say a wheat beer aged for three years the freeze distilled. I don't know it's way outside the box but that's what we do right?

Sounds like a good man, the kind I hope to be. It's tough to lose a father, I'm sure he's in a good place. Sorry for your loss.

This is kind of a dead post but....... I did a worm wood beer, basically your standard pale with 3/4 oz of worm wood. When it was fresh it was a really weird bitter, won a silver in a pretty tough competition, but not something you would drink a pint of. I just cracked a bottle open...

I use 2 different yeast strains on occasion but not for the results your looking for. I'll use a British strain and the add a high gravity strain latter in the ferment, to get the flavor I'm looking for and the abv. For what your proposing I haven't tried it but if I where to guess one is...

I think sour beers are the next thing, and beers with a super high malt profile. The market is some what saturated with the run of the mill stuff, getting outside of the box is a fast way to get some market share.

Mead is great if you do it right, it needs time. What's two years? your kid crapped his pants for longer then that.

#1. It's not any cheaper then a dry beer yeast that has not been vacuum packed, or at least up until recently. #2. Dry wine Vs dry beer number of cells, good question. I don't know. When it comes to dry Vs wet, a live culture is much more viable. The drying process is not really good for...

Being that this post is in the new brewers forum I would just toss it in. Yes I do rehydrate but it's ok if you don't. Does it really make a difference, as a new brewer probably not.

I've had bud, miller, Coors, and shiner bock. I'm just kidding but shiner is one of the few I buy.

Is it the gauge, the keg, or the fitting from the gauge to the bottle? Did you check? If not mop everything thing down with soapy water. I've never had a seal leak on low pressure.

I don't look down on Brew in bag folks at all, but why do it at all? I've done a brew in bag and it's ok. How hard is it to pick up a 5 dollar ice chest second hand and build a braid? I've done both, I'll spend the extra 10 dollars and one hour of time to build it.

I can't find it to save my life, it could be in storage if I run into it this weekend I'll let you know but it's not likely.

I might have one, I'll look for it on Monday. If it's a 12" I'll give you a deal on it as I'm not using it, but I can't remember if I still have it or what size it is.

Stranahan's is a really good whiskey although it's not a bourbon. Still it's really good. Baker's is swill in my opinion, bad cuts or no cuts and over oaked. Of the whole thread there are only 5 or 6 whiskeys listed that are worth drinking. That's why I stick with beer.:)

Ya I think that one lone row of cirtra hops on the end next to the fence is actually a cascade.

I would think you could do it pretty cheep, and it would be a nice setup to. You could use your existing equipment plus, a simple phase angle controller, 100 bucks. http://www.stilldragon.com/basic-controller.html Two 5500 elements 60 bucks. Two tri clamp feurrels, clamps, and seals, about...

I' a Mitchers fan myself, Pappy is pretty good to but the younger affordable stuff is a little sharp on the front end. If I'm at a bar then it's woodsford, (that's generally the only whiskey that a bar consistently has on hand that's drinkable). Makers is a mix of vodka and dog piss...

6 Frigging hours!!!!!!! Are you insane? 6 hours of polishing by hand and you ask does this look good enough. I mean 6 hours of that bs for a shiny keg, don't you have anything else better to do like dodge trains, rebuild a lawn mower, or maybe learn how to play cribbage? You need to seek help.

Not that short. If I really needed to get a cheep drunk I'd just go buy a bottle of black velvet, but I'll just not drink if it ever comes to BV or steel reserve.
