Oh man. Huge help. Thanks guys. Thought I was doomed.:cross:

I screwed up. I didn't check to see if I had my bottle capper when I tried to begin bottling. So OBVIOUSLY when I went to cap the first bottle, it was nowhere to be found. So, now I have a little under 5 gallons of beer in my bottling bucket with the priming sugar already in it. When it...

Switching to Carboy's and Kegging so this would be real nice.

For my third attempt at this, I'm going to try an imperial choc. stout. I found a nice easy extract recipe, I just have a couple questions about the directions. There are steeping grains, and after the 30 minutes in the water the instructions tell me to "rinse them back into the pot with hot...

Perfect! I'll try and be patient. :) Already made a horrible stout thanks to my IMpatience, but I'm working on it. Thanks again for quick responses! John

HA! Done, and Done!

Wow, more feedback than I could have asked for. Thank you all so much. Found a good sunny spot on south side of my house. Going to water every morning, and get some miracle grow. One question though, how do I know exactly when to harvest? And can I freeze them for future use or should I use...

So, I just received some hop vines in the mail. I'd like to plant them. I have no idea what to do next though. These aren't like mail order or anything, a friend sent them to me wrapped in wet paper towels. Inside bubble wrap. Haven't unwrapped them yet because I don't want to accidentally...

Thank you all for the responses. This is why I love this site. :rockin: I am going to look into the cPVC. I'm not that handy, but I can usually make anything work if I want it enough. Still need to refine my process before I make the switch, but either way.. having a blast. Thanks again...

OK, yeah, I didn't think about the fineness of the screen. looking at it now I can see how that would be a problem. Thanks for the quick response. I'll keep scrounging... :D

I'm slowly acquiring equipment for when I cut the cord and go all grain. I was just given a roll of mesh, or screen that is used for windows, and screen doors I guess. I was wondering whether or not this could be used for the filter or false bottom of a mash tun. I don't really know HOW I...

THANKS!!!!!

****, where did you get an Extract Bass Ale clone from? I'm still new to homebrewing. I'd love to do a clone of Bass.

I used too much water in my brew pot, and didn't have a strong enough stove to be ale to bring it to a vigorous boil. I would characterize it as a weak ass boil. All the ingredients were in before I realized it wasn't going to be vigorous. I'm curious as too what effect this will have if any...
