What's the longest you've ever left your wort out (before pitching yeast, chilling, etc)? Normally I always chill the wort down in 15-20 minutes, get it into the carboy, pitch the yeast, etc. Sadly yesterday, I got a call from my girlfriend (car broke down) as soon as the boil finished and I...

Today feels like the perfect day. 1. All my college work is DONE for the next week. 2. I'll graduate soon. 3. I'm brewing beer today with 3 of the best friends you could ever ask for. 4. NO WORK!!! :rockin: 5. It's raining today, and the light misty drizzle feels like my old home in...

If you could travel anywhere, to any event, all costs covered (you travel for free), where would you go and why? I'd like to go to the 2011 Oktoberfest in Munich/München Germany. I have family in Bavaria/Bayern but I have not been able to afford a trip back in a few years. I'd love to hang...

Hey folks, I know the bottling of apfelwein has been a popular topic around here, and I've found a few answers about bottling of apfelwein. I still have a couple questions. I bought my juice in these one gallon glass bottles (they appear similar to a 1 gallon glass carboy). So my questions...

Hi folks, I was wondering if there were any folks in here who carry concealed. I'm not starting this thread as a debate on if carry if justifiable. I put this in the 18+ area because it involves firearms and in most states you need to be at least 18 years of age or older to possess/carry a...

Hey folks, I'm getting this brew prepared. I'm brewing sometime tomorrow so I went ahead and ground up the grain bill the night before (today). I'm putting a ton of pics up so please feel free to criticize if your internet speed sucks. :D I'll cover as much of the brewing as I can tomorrow...

Let me start off by saying, I did not start this thread to discuss our Government, or our Politics. I wrote our/your in the title, because its pretty obvious that not everyone is from the same nation. So what do you guys think? What do you think will be different in another 25 years?

Hey folks, Quick question. Would you recommend just going ahead and using a 25' wort chiller or should I go ahead and spend a little extra money and get the 50' wort chiller for 10 gallon boils? Previously I have just used a 25' wort chiller for 5 gallon boils, but I'd like to upgrade to...

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to pre-order more rhizomes, to add on to the collection of hops I have growing already. I can't remember exactly what I have growing now, but I have the list somewhere. I know I lost a few due to excessive water (lots of clay soil here that retains water)...

Hey fellas, I'm curious about this Ruby Ale Clone recipe that EvilTOJ provided for us here (link below). It calls for racking to secondary, but have any of you brewed this and just bottled after primary was completed? I have limited space in my carboys right now and I'm curious how it turned...

Hey folks, I saw this fantastic recipe, and decided I had to give it a try. I do have a few questions though. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/man-i-love-apfelwein-14860/ 1. Regarding the "dextrose/corn sugar", is this a requirement? I was unable to find it anywhere, (grocery stores...
