Ya, one of my bottles had a really weak flip top and the ginger beer never carbed. But the ones that did carb taste and look really nice.

Thanks for the estimate on the ABV. Stronger than I imagined it. Do you have a recommendation for how much sugar I should add to carb a 24oz bottle? I just went for 1.5oz.

Hey Yooper! It's actually around 5 gallon which is the size of my carboy. I mentioned to top up with water in the recipe. 16 oz gave me a nice buzz and it also tastes really good. I wasn't sure how it would go but I was pleasantly surprised.

(No traction in the Beginners Beer Forum from this. What is this officially called? Beer?Cider?Wine?) This ginger thing is delicious. I made this recently and had my first bottle last week. I drank one 16oz bottle and it gave me a good buzz! The taste was mildly sweet as the carbing...

I made this recently and had my first bottle last week. I drank one 16oz bottle and it gave me a good buzz! The taste was mildly sweet as the carbing sugars haven’t all been processed by the yeast, I liked that characteristic btw. The flavor was slightly tangy from the lemon/lime There...

Turned to yummy vinegar. :rolleyes: I have another one going with some yeast from a wit. Looks good so far.

Like Warren Buffett, brewers should seize this as a buying opportunity. Well not buying, but maybe starting a business in those states to cover the shortage of off-center craft beers. I'm in California, so I'm not game.

Called the Moss Room. They have a great selection of classic cocktails. And another place to go would be the Presidio Social Club. More classic cocktails and amazing food. Good luck.

Ok. If you are staying in Union square I highly suggest going to Church Key in North Beach. The have a large selection of bottles and a few good drafts. Then hit up Rogue also in North Beach. And can't forget La Trappe which has also a great beer menu. Toranado has a huge selection it's in lower...

Let r8rphan have the last word on this. Or it will never end!

If you were a hot girl I sure would be!

I'm disappointed at where this thread went. Throw it into the Politics forum. I enjoy talking beer and stuff, but when people can't leave out the drivel it becomes petty. Never talk politics and religion at dinner or a date. Can we get back to the beer?

And there she is! haha, bubbling away.

Ok. So I started this on March 1st and now it is March 5th and guess what? It has started! The balloon I have on the opening of the bottle is growing! All I did was throw the smashed blueberries in the one gallon Treetop plastic bottle with a pound of brown sugar. I really wanted to do...

I just heard on the news (I won't mention which channel because even that ruffles feathers nowadays) that the Obamas' bought the home brew equip with their own money for the Honey Ale. That's pretty sweet.

Has anyone tried this? I have been eager to try a Apfelwein with a wild yeast and thought blueberries have yeast on them, so why not? I've made many of Edwort's but wanted to try something different, plus I'm too lazy to go to Brewcraft right now. I would love to hear from anyone who has...

Oh, goodness this is a great beer. I primed it in bottles and also a Coor's home draft system that I found at a safeway. The beer has such a nice mouth feel. It has the look of a wheat beer but the taste of a nice english ale with notes of rose, and strawberry and a bit of a bitterness of a...

I'm wondering if you actually carbed your beer with two co2 cartridges that you added to the Home draft system. Did it really work? :)

I use a "work cooler" all of the time. Are we talking, like an Alhambra bottle?

No hops at the beginning. The Maris Otter was cracked, and I steeped it for an hour. I took another reading as a posted earlier and the reading was even lower. I mixed it well and even shook it really well. I did top it off pretty high, but that never seemed to be a problem. It now has a...
