A few questions. Has anyone ever tried to collect and store the co2 from a brew? On average how much co2 is produced per 5 gallon batch? How many psi does it actually take to bust a filled 12oz bottle? How many psi would it take to bust an empty 12oz bottle?

I have been absent on HBT for a little while. I have not done a whole lot of brewing. The hobby doesn't really pay off in the long run but I still love to do it. I have 3 gallons of wine ready to be racked tomorrow and peppers drying for hot sauce. I am not really sure what the point of this...

I recently made an experimental batch. Approximate Recipe: 1.75 gallons, 3lb mixed red and green grapes, 1.75oz Corn Sugar, 1lb sugar, 1tbs "maple syrup", 10 grams Redstar Curvee' yeast. Specific gravity of 1.032. Last night I racked to the secondary and made a few changes because it...

So I plan to be making Skeeter Pee all summer long starting in spring. I never know when I am going to be finishing a batch of wine since i never really plan to make it.. just when I come across the fruit. How can I save the yeast slurry until I am ready to use it in Skeeter Pee

I'm bottling a batch of wine today and I am going through the process of getting out as much of the fruit particles and yeast. I tried to do a siphon and my tubing wasn't working out so well so I dumped it into a 1 gallon water jug and am working on getting it through some coffee filters which...

I ordered an extract kit and bottling bucket today. I then thought about how hard my wife is going to ***** when she gets home. I called and tried to cancel the order until I soften her up a little but the order was already being processed. Does anyone else have this problem?

I work in the pet department at my local walmart and upon getting in a shipment of auto-waterers I decided to investigate further. These small carboy like containers are made from food-safe materials. It would certianly be nice to have a smaller inexpencive carboy for smaller, experimental, or...

3lb seedless red grapes 1lb of strawberrys 5.5 cups of sugar 1pk Highly Active Bakers Yeast. 1.5 - 2 gallons of water. Oh God what have I done? Thank you Walmart grocery department claims for these free materials. Also I promised a co-worker who is missing her two front teeth a...

Im sure some of you visit 4chan even though you probably won't admit it. Some for its infamous board, some for its other boards. Ive been using /g/ and /ck/ for years but they have introduced /diy/. There have been many threads about homebrewing pop up and I try to give the best info I can...

Thinking of getting one. What are the pros? Ive read the info but what am I missing other than some functions of the software? Let me in on the world of premium hbt status before I buy.

What sort of things do you use during your entire process that aren't actually meant for homebrewing. I recently worked a new department at my job (Wal-Mart) the housewares department and I kept looking at things and thinking.. I could use that. Example a glass baster like thing with measuring...

I am interested in trying some N/A beers. I recently finished off a 6er of St. Pauli Girl.. Tasted just like any other skunky ass green bottle beer to me. Unfortunately the most common N/A is O Douals but I want to try others. Help me gather a list for the guys at the package store next door to...

I would like to remove as much sediment as possible from my brews. At the bottom of my bottles there is a nice layer of hops and yeast which kind of turns people off. I have come to understand filtering before bottling may remove too much suspended yeast and prevent bottle conditioning. Is there...

I wasn't serious in my last thread. I am not "asking for a hand-out" or anything of the sort. I was sitting here thinking how ide like to have a batch near finished by Christmas and then I read a thread to the effect of "What are you asking Santa for this year" and I thought it would be a silly...

I'de love to have a holli-brew-day but money is so tight this time of year. Its sad really.

So my first batch was sampled after a week of bottle conditioning... a tart taste was reported and it sort of smells like a half drank beer that sat out all night. There are no visible signs of bacterial infection. Any ideas? Its the Mild Ale Extract from NB... Shouldn't have a tart taste... She...

30qt turkey fryer at walmart... 40 bucks.

I would like to have more options other than northern brewer, homebrewers outpost, and love2brew. Where do you guys order from?

I am thinking about doing this. Has anyone else done this? I'de imagine it would be either really good or really bad. Probably not much in between on this one.

For my next batch I am contemplating buying maybe 2 kits, ordering some hops, steeping grains, and yeast separate. Here is what I was thinking... Cream Ale Extract, (using the grains with the kit), 1oz magnum hops, and 1oz cascade hops, and WLP090 San Diego Superstrain. What do you think...
