I looked at the manufacturer for the cheap $2 buckets from farm n fleet, turns out almost all their buckets were food grade accept the ones made from recycled plastic. Check the manufacturers website, though if its the orange ones from home depot I can tell you those are NOT food grade. I duck...

Every time I brew and every time I bottle. Rinse them off and use some hand lotion!

I also use the NB and also use half as directed, just because half seems to work fine usually. I wait until the hot break starts to add a drop then I add one or two when fermentation starts. It seems to work best when there is already foam on top.

PBR is probably my favorite beer. I say this because I can ALWAYS drink pbr. Hot days, cold days, nights, mornings (music festivals). It even tastes good when its skunked. There were many times in my college haus when there were over 100 pbrs in the fridge -my band members all drink it too -when...

I loved this commercial! Just shows you how popular homebrewing is getting. Everyone knows someone who brews, it is a timely joke. I really don't think they were trying to offend anyone or bash homebrewing.... its just a commercial about football and chicken wings. =)

Taught a friend how to brew, thats 10 now. Knew nobody that brewed when I started so I had to create my own "homebrew crew". Luckily its easy to get people interested.

Bringing a sixer of homebrewed dunkel too band practice.

Once every 2 days or so I rinse and shake all my used bottles with water and put em to the right of the sink, then dump the last few drops of water out the next time I do it and throw em i n boxes. Only takes a couple secs, I never wash bottles with cleaners, and I never get mold. A quick 4...

I just tried my first bottle. Surprisingly it tastes pretty light and dry, I am wondering if I did a poor steep but I can't imagine how I could fail a steep... maybe I didn't do it for long enough? I expected it to be sweeter. Either way it is good for being a bit premature (bottled 6 days...

Boulder beer co Hazed and Infused. Never had boulder beer before, I will try it again. This is beer has a full tasty flavor but is light enough to enjoy after a hot day in the un airconditioned shop.

Pull them from the fridge, let em sit another 2 weeks or so then throw some back in to try. My first stout didn't carb right after 3 weeks, when I tried after chilling I pulled them, put them in a warm spot in my house and turned them upside down a couple times. You will b fine, might just...
