So SWMBO loves a nice dry, crisp cider. For my first batch I made some of Edwort's Apfelwine using Mott's apple juice. It fermented down to 1.002 using EC1118 and I bottled with dextrose to carbinate. Everything went well, but the SWMBO thinks it's too sweet! (and I'm inclined to agree)...

So I have this idea for a custom draft tower and I cant seem to find anything similar, so I was hoping to get some input on how people think it might work / if it'd be worth pursuing. The MSPaint Concept: Yes, those are bones, but dont worry, they're plastic. My main concern with the...

Long story short: I inadvertently brewed a sour fruit beer that my family loves and wants me to make more. I believe the sourness came from lack of fermentation control. I have since moved to a new apartment and the ambient temperature is (guestimating) 25-30 degrees colder than when I brewed...

I recently made a DIY stir plate from a usb fan . I tested it last night with water and pepper to make sure it would work well and hold up to a night of work. Everything worked perfectly. So tonight I start boiling the wort for my starter, sanitize my jar, get everything all ready to go...

If you guys haven't heard of the "What People Think I Do" thing going around, I highly recommend Googling it. I couldn't easily find one for home brewers, so I decided to make one. Feel free to rip on it, offer suggestions, add to it, or make your own! Cheers! :mug:

Short version: I'm going to be bottling, transferring and brewing (extract) all on the same day. Any tips/suggestions? Long version: My roommate and I have precious little free time in which to brew, so we have to make the most of days off work/class. We can/want to brew on Monday - The first...
