anyone have any luck finding good seltzer flavorings? i was thinking of using a fruit flavored syrup in the keg, but i don't wanna waste the time and effort if someone has stumbled upon the 'secret' flavor ingredients. p.s.-i hate hard seltzers on their own, but as part of a mixed cocktail...

hey all, Planning on doing a simple partigyle; let's say 60% pils, 40% vienna. First runnings for a heavily hopped IPA and the second runnings for a kolsch-ish ale. Brewers' friend doesn't seem to be able to handle partigyle brewing, so how does one estimate color of the second runnings, or...

I was watching a podcast with Jamil and he brought up a good point about the new dry hop craze that's currently raging. He was cautioning against riding the wave of 'new trend = best practices', specifically related to biotransformation, essentially stating that while many hop varieties and...

I've seen a bunch of information about serving beer at room temps, but what about soda? It's about to get real chilly, so my garage kegorator isn't going to be usable. I plan on having one keg in my mini fridge inside for beer. I'd like to have another for soda as well, but that won't fit in...

Does anyone have a trustworthy source for water kefir grains? I've seen some ebay and amazon listings, but 😒, :no:. I converted some milk grains to juice several years ago and really enjoyed the effervescent fizzy juice i made with it, but the grains had a shelf life, as they wouldn't grow any...

Anyone know if MCM is still honoring super old homebrew accounts or have they killed that off altogether? They weren't taking new ones the last time i ordered from them, but it was several years ago...

I posted this like in the classified section already, but it fits here just as well and people tend to avoid the classifieds if they're not looking to buy. There's a giveaway for a free stirplate here: http://homebrewforums.net/discussion/780/stir-it-up-sweepstakes#Item_1 :mug:

i'm not sure if these are any good, but the price is right: http://cgi.ebay.com/8-POUND-SAUSAGE-STUFFER-3-TUBES-CAST-IRON-MANUAL-/330594596922?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf8f9383a#ht_1404wt_905

For those of us that are already customers of mid country malt in south holland, il (sorry they won't take any new customers) the warehouse location moved. It's still in the same building it was in, but shifted to the two doors closest to the street (armory dr/ 167st) 330 w armory drive...

I've got just a few weeks to plan out what to do with all the blackberries that will become available. Over the course of 2-3 weeks that they are ripe, i'm only limited to how much i can carry and how long i can take all the mosquitos. Does anyone have a good suggestion on what to brew with...

i'm planning a trip to the st louis area for a concert the weekend of july 4th. propably a thursday night and friday night/saturday morning. We were thinking of camping instead of a hotel and i was wondering if any hbt members could give me any suggestions. the concert is in maryland heights...

i'm not entirely sure where to post this one, but here goes: Are there any HBT members that can tell me what happened to his lhbs called beer geer? it was originally located in orland park, il next to threshold music. Then, it moved to frankfort next to crafty cow/alsip nursery. It seems as...

I don't know if copper is taking a dive right now, but i just got a deal on some flexible cu tubing at the big box store. 20' for $11 3/8". They had 3/8" 60' for $44. that one would have been a sweet deal, but there was only one left and the 'box' was opened. it looked like it had been cut a few...

i had an idea for a "party" for some of my friends and relatives interested in brewing and craft beers in general. I would take it upon myself to brew 1/2 to 2 gallon batches of just one grain type to really explore a particular grain profile. I'd love some feedback about how to proceed. I was...

In case anyone ever debated this, consider the case closed. Last saturday i witnessed the mingling scents of boiling wort and evaporating(grilling) lee and perrins. By far the best scent i have ever had the pleasure of detecting. If you find yourself asking what lee and perrins is, i feel sad...

I know you've never heard of it, but that's where i'm at. It's about 20 minutes south of chicago. I have to say, this is my new favorite website. The wealth of information, tips, Delicious pictures, and seasoned experts is amazing. Looking forward to many years of good ol fashion brewing, and...

I've seen a ton of threads on building your own cfc and immersion chillers using flexible cu tubing. Almost all of them mention that the tubing will lose most of its flexability when striatening, but i can't find a single post referring to copper annealing, which restores all if not more...
