It brings me the android brewing app. It does this whenever it is told too. It brings me the android brewing app or it gets the hose again.

i had that exact same idea. they're perfect for hops!!!

maybe they would grow better if you didn't use them as an ashtray.

planted outside. i'm near baltimore. weather has been springlike. watered daily except when it has rained. one of the goldings was sprouted yesterday. YAY! i'm not worried worried, i just want to know when to pronounce them dead so i can order new ones.

planted 3 weeks ago. nuthin'. they were little spindly lookin things too. i'm tempted to dig them up, but haven't yet. when i got them they were just in a sandwich baggie. at what point should i do something?

i've got one. it works if your yeast cake isn't too big.

excellent.

those carb drops are about the size of a cough drop, right? that's not a fraction of a drop. c'mon. i've got the corn sugar right here. i don't any carb tabs. it's raining out and the LHBS guy is a dick. anybody do this?

how much corn sugar per bottle (16 oz) if i wanted to prime just a few bottles instead of a whole 5-gallon batch? it would be helpful if the amount could be in fractions of a teaspoon, rather than by weight. i don't have a scale that accurate. thank you.

would anyone happen to know the dimensions the dry erase board will need to be cut to?

is there any reason why i cannot or should not use regular old (inexpensive) table sugar instead of malt extract to make a yeast starter? the yeast will be wyeast 1056, if that makes a difference.

so i'm making an IPA today and i'm going to try this "extract late method" i've read about wherein you don't add the extract until the last 15 minutes of the boil. so at 45 minutes into the boil, i add my extract and stir it in. i usually remove the pot from the burner when i'm adding the...

if it doesn't matter if it smells like beer (the last batch was an IPA and it mostly just smells hoppy), i'mma stick with the bucket. i'll giver her another bleachy soak and then i just won't worry. new buckets (without the spigot) are only like $10 anyhow. i think i'll stick with them for...

so right now i've got the bucket that came with my starter kit. after two batches, it is already smelling like beer even after a vigorous, bleachy washing. so i'm done with it. i have a 5 gallon better bottle carboy for a secondary and i love it. so i want to get another and use it as my...

i don't know. i'm attempting to subscribe to the "hydrometers only make you worry" school of thought. but all of this not worrying is starting to worry me. the bubbling had subsided when i racked. it had been in the primary for a week. i'm wondering if a tertiary fermentation might be...

this is the first time i've done the following: a) secondary fermentation (in a better bottle carboy). b) dry hopping. i put the hop pellets in a muslin bag and threw them in the carboy. siphoned in the beer. looks good. smells great. three hours later there's another krausen...

no honey is organic because it would be impossible to regulate/keep track of all of the various flowers any given hive of bees gathers from. even if your bees are kept right beside an organic peach orchard, you can't ever be 100% sure that some of the little buggers aren't flying 2 miles down...

the ramshead brewery/tavern here in annapolis serves a beer they call "oyster stout". i just assumed that it was called this because it goes really, really well with fried oysters on a cold day. the possibility of it being made WITH oysters had not occurred to me. i'll have to ask them next...

hot side aeration bad... cold wort aeration good... you gotta aerate intentionally and with tools... no, you don't, your normal sloshing from pot to fermentor will aerate everything well enough.... color me confused. could you all give us beginners a breif (or lengthy, what do i...

thanks. i will now sparge with impunity.
