I am looking for stuff you're not using because you have extras, newer versions or new stuff in general. or for whateverreason. I have a very limited budget. so if you on the gulfcoast (mississippi) let me know what you have to give away. I'll come get it. thanks ps. I am already hitting...

Thanks wonderbread23. And very good (not to mention hilarious) points bottlebomber!

I have not tasted lambic or other 'wild' brews. do you have some you recommend? and maybe a link I could order them from.

first of all I know there IS yeast present, but... here is the back story: I have noticed the apple juice in my childs sippy cup smells REALLY good after I find it under the couch a few days later. the cap of the sippy cup makes a great air lock. my question is this. if I brew everything...

This thread is real old but I thought I would let everyone know I didn't have a single problem. every screw top bottle of beer was completely sealed and delicious! I used a wing capper to do them and they were all fine.

what if you split one packet of yeast to the two fementors. just by eyeballing the amount of yeast and not measuring? is that advisable? I already did it. but wondering what you all think.

my beer (amber malt kit) has a strong aftertaste that I am not sure about. my wife doesn't like beer and really doesn't like the aftertaste. I don't care for the after taste much myself. is this character of amber malt or another reason. I am obviously not fluent enough in beer or its flavors to...

more yeast. thanks.

Ok here's what I did. I boiled up 5 lbs of honey. I mixed with water. then I added the yeast. I think the honey was still too hot when I added the yeast. but it fermented a little anyway. I racked it once. however there is very little alcohol to taste. what should I do? can I add yeast all...

the screw top bottles worked. well so far I haven't tasted but one. about to taste another. the first one was well carbonated. the rest are in the fridge now. no leaks thus far. I say use screw tops if you must!

it doesn't seem like I am having any problems. I did notice that, on a couple of bottles I tried before actually capping beer filled bottles, that they screwed off extremely easy. That is, without hardly trying to. but so far no spills, leaks or popping offs.

I used the screw tops. I tilted them every which way with no leaks. I have to assume they are working. I will no for sure on monday when I taste test one.

you can bottle beer in plastic? I went and got the wing capper. that was all he had. I used it. so far so good. no broken bottles. we'll see what happened when the pressure builds. how long do you think it will take for the carbonation pressure to build up enough to pop the cap?
