I think I’d have to set up a fake profile to share my most embarrassing stories too.

Please, thank you.

Sounds like more good advice, Superdown. Thanks a million.

Thanks Superdown, I think I will adopt your view on kombucha vs beer - less rigorous, more casual approach. I was envisioning capping bottles, so I really appreciate the advice and will use mason jars instead. Good info.

Actually, I see that Superdown somewhat answered this ("Alternatively, add REAL fruit juice and bottle for 24 hours to carb before opening."), but I had a few more specific questions. Is it safe to bottle with fruit; at what point do bottle bombs become a concern? Is fermentation just not active...

The Scoby worked out fine. I followed Superdown's advice and it is very good. Getting a new batch started on Scoby #1 again, and going to get another vessel so I can use the one I grew. Now, can anyone point me toward resources for secondary fermentations over fruit?

Thanks Superdown! The Scoby hasn't dried out and looks healthy. I'll have it fermenting by next week!

I've never made kombucha, but recently received a scoby from a friend. It has been in the refrigerator for about two weeks. I have a couple of questions/requests: 1) is the scoby likely to still be good after two weeks in tupperware in the 'fridge? 2) can someone point me to some good...

Good stuff. Of course it's possible that there are simply more high quality ales and more low quality lagers available, and the experts have invested the time to figure this out. Either way I guess there is an aversion to strong ales among novices, so acquires taste is part of the equation.

Very cool. I love red sumac berries - would describe them as tart. Maybe I'll try something like this sometime. Be sure to give us updates if you try it again.

I have a 20 month old daughter (loves to help cook and gonna be a wicked brewer) and a kid due in November. I've recently started exploring the world of extract because I realized I don't have the time for all grain very often anymore. I spend more time planning my brews though, and am planning...

Fan. Haven't seen a show in more than ten years, but saw them in the 90's and around 2001. I'm a fan of everything they have released.

You're going to need quadrangle maps, a handheld gps unit, and a UTM grid finder. We used to have to do this all the time before they put gps on cell phone computers. If you find some good places to go in Barcelona please share - I'll be there in June.

My cannondale f400, now used for commuting.

I've never thought of okra mead - not a big mead fan.

Yeah our treeing walker coon hound is named Okra, after the vegetable. It happens to be a favorite in our house.

Okra an Lilo

I wanted to wait until my wife and I were sure that we were ready to have kids, financially and otherwise. It took my wife a while to convince me that we were probably as ready as we would ever be and that we weren't getting any younger (in our 30s). I love being a dad and spending time with my...

I ride 7 miles each day to/from work on my mountain bike gone hybrid. Would love to hit the trails more often but taking care of my 1.5 year old makes it tough to find time. I guess it's time to get a toddler seat and hit some greenways.

Replying... please oh please...
