Ok boys, it's about time we start talking about a June/July brewday...so...let's have at it. When and where. FYI - I'm no longer at the old place, and my new place at the moment might not be good for a brewday (have to check a few things). UPDATE: LOOKS LIKE WE'VE DECIDED ON JUNE 11TH IN...

Ok, so here's the deal...the last time I bought a TV was at LEAST 10 years ago. In all honesty, I know nothing of HD, 1080i, 1080p, LCD, LED, plasma, etc. Not that I don't watch HDTV, just always my roommates had them, so I never needed one for myself...however I'm about to move to my own place...

So I mashed in for a "faux" Flanders last night and realized after I mashed in that I forgot to hold some of the grains back to put in later to promote some sour growth. I'm mashing from Wed 8pm till Saturday ~10am. Should I just leave it, or should I run to the LHBS (doesn't open till 4pm)...

I'm looking to from an LLC company and I've been looking around. LegalZoom is expensive, and there's dozens of "cut rate" quick LLC websites out there. Just wondering if anyone has experience doing this fairly quickly, cheaply, and without a lawyer. Recommendations for sites that do LLC...

After coming off a 2 win season last year, I'm hoping I have a better team this year. Opinions? * indicates starter Brent Celek (TE PHI) * Cowboys (D DAL) * Joseph Addai (RB IND) * Matt Schaub (QB HOU) * Mike Sims-Walker (WR JAC) * Mike Wallace (WR PIT) * Randy Moss (WR NE) * Ray...

I'm thinking about making up a bunch and potentially freezing for later some good Chili dog style chili. I have a bunch of ideas of what I want to put it on where a full on bean chili would just be too much/heavy. I'm looking for a good sloppy truck stop or specialty hot dog stand style chili...

I heard about this on the radio today, and started doing some research and it certainly sounds cool. I downloaded a free app with some free tunes, but you have to pay to download many of them (at like 3.50 a pop). I tested "alcohol" - which was intended to trick your brain into an alcohol...

Saturday September 11, 2010. Joppa, MD 10am PM me for directions if you haven't been here before.

Next week I'm headed to Santa Clara and want to find some tasty beverages that I can't get on the east coast. What's good within say 20 miles of SC that's good like brewpubs and breweries to hit up?

So 85% of my league chose Kansas, which was great for me. The 12% had Kentucky, and the rest were the strange Syracuse and stupid hometown Terp fans that always think Maryland has a chance. I am the LONE Duke pick in the entire thing. I've got only 32 games right, and (up until the sweet 16)...

So, I took a sample of my cyser today, and man -- as soon as I popped the airlock it smelled like turpentine. I took a sample, and it tastes good. A little hot yet, but decent flavor, but the nose....man it smells like cheap hooch. Made back in October, racked to secondary early Dec and...

I now have 5 1g jugs available to me so that I can make some of the stranger test batches and not have to worry about 5g of mead that's just too strange to drink. I'm planning on doing 4 batches and leaving the spare container for racking over into. I'm looking for the top 4 strangest meads...

I've been wanting to do a pyment for a while, but I didn't want to go half arsed....so last night at the LHBS I decided to buy a kit that Iv'e seen and wanted to make for a while - Orange Chocolate Port. I haven't cracked the box to read instructions, but from what I'm remembering of these...

In reviewing the mead judge bjcp study guide, I noticed something that I couldn't really wrap my head around (and yet someone told me it was in my meads and they probably wouldn't be judged well in spite of being very good and tasty). In the guide (and I think bjcp style guidelines) one of...

I'm looking to save some cash and buy in the 1000ct bag of corks. I have 4 batches going to be ready for bottles in the next 2-3 months, and will probably make about 12-15 batches this year. if I buy the 1000ct bag o'corks, is there any problem with aging them? will they "go bad" if I open...

I decided randomy to make an english breakfast tea mead, and in the end, all it tastes like is sort of a sour puckering feeling that I assume is tannins from the tea. Ok, so a bit of a mistake, but it's still young - only a month and a half or so. I'm planning on aging a few more months in...

We all know how difficult it is to do this internally - has anyone ever (legally) shipped to the UK? I'd like to send a bottle of mead to a friend, but don't want either of us to get in trouble for trying to hide it, or have to pay hundreds of dollars in unanticipated fines and import tariffs...

I've been looking for a "better way" to fruit my meads, and after seeing some commercials/ads, I saw some Cherry Juice Concentrate online. It's expensive (like $15/qt) but in concentrated form - I'm wondering if it would work. 2 qts of concentrate is supposedly equivalent to 45 POUNDS of...

Back in Jan/Feb, my roommate made a barleywine that turned out to be a lot less volume than he expected. He got less than 3g out of it and after racking, might have 1.5-2g left. It's way too sweet and generally just not super drinkable. He was gonna pitch some champagne yeast to dry it out...

Anyone in the mid atlantic going to this next weekend? I'm going on Saturday. Wondered if there were any homebrewer/meadmaker types going.
