Even if you do ruin it,( which I doubt will happen because of all these wonderfully knowledgable and beautiful contributors who frequent this forum, ) I will still drink it. And being that it is of your creation you will probably love it and drink it to if you're anything like me. I've made some...

Taste it, and then follow your gut. What I do when I'm making new recipes (which is basically all the time ) is rack from my primary 6.5 gal carboys into 1 gal jugs and then I add varying amounts of hops / spices and leave one gallon untouched, that way I have a control. in most every case I...

This thread is chock full of so much useful information, I love to hear about other people's methods.. Hearing other people's point of view is so helpfully perspective..It's the only way to -- A. Realize your methods were wrong and fix them, or B. Reaffirm that you're doing it right, and it...

Weak knee Homebrew supply in Pottstown. Getting pales upon pales of cider on the 24th.

That way I can boil over a small camping stove I have, I could brew beer on a camping trip lol.

Sweet. I'm looking to build a tiny brew set up.. I already have a 10 gallon set up that works great, but I want to build something tiny to make like half gallon batches or less, the smaller the better! Thinking of using a 1 gallon water jug as a mash tun.. Or maybe something like a big insulated...

If you wait a while longer I'm sure it will show better attenuation, but if not oh well I'm sure it'll still drink great right ?

Oh excellent Thankyou I will certainly check out the wait list !

Did this happen already ? Is there still room to enter ?

Scrapple is a 14 point word in scrabble. Unless of course you are playing on a point multiplier.. It would be great to add the SCR- to apple or the -PLE to scrap lol.

Lol yeah my boss used to call me and two marines I worked with in a small armory the "garbage pail kids" haha because we looked rough (no shaves, no hair cuts, dirty clothes) we worked 18 hour days 6 days a week so we just generally had a f-everything attitude.. Good ol garbage pail kids.. Loved...

Busy is good, sounds like everything is positive with you guys there so that's great.. Thanks for the update I'll have to make trip sometime for the tour ! (Even though you're 2,220 miles from me here in southeast PA)

Hello ! I just started a raspberry wine with all my wild wine berries that grow all over my property here in Pa... I do know a fair amount about edible plants here .. That being said here's a little list: Wild fruits -- Raspberries , grapes, strawberries, and (cooked) elderberries.. Which are...

That is the strangest hydrometer I have ever seen. Also, have you tasted it? I would say since you are taking the hippy approach to wine (which I usually do too when I make wine *rarely*) just let it go, if it tastes ok bottle it and drink it... If not.. Roll another one of them hippy cigarettes...
