I'm in Ambler, so not too far. I missed the mushroom festival in your town this year. Oh well, there's always next year.

You found a good forum, lots of know how, tips and advice and more often than not you get a very quick response to your questions.

I ran out of shampoo yesterday so I crapped in my hand... I hope it works.

For those of us who aren't equipped to keg, does the volume of the bottle (6 oz.,12 oz., 16 oz., 32 oz.) factor in at all to the amount of priming sugar or the time the beer should condition in the bottle? The reason I am asking is because I have little 6.3 oz. bottles I use and it seems...

Alright... I'm bottling my next batch on Sat. and this thread has convinced me to try using DME instead of priming sugar. I have a couple of questions though: 1) Should I use the lightest DME I can find? 2) Do I just add the DME to the bottling bucket or do I need to make a solution out of...

I redently saw a recipe for a Honey Basil Beer that used basil in place of hops. If I can dig it up I will post the recipe. I'm not sure I would make a Honey Basil beer or not, but it seemed relevent to this thread.

Hey Brew, sorry for the late reply here, but here is my recipe (it's a pretty simple one): Hefe-Weizen Ingredients: 6 lbs. Munton & Fison Dry wheat malt extract. 1 oz Saaz hops 3.3% AA Boiled 60 Min 1tsp Irish Moss (Boil 10.0 min) .8 oz Corriander Seed (Boil 5.0 min) .6 oz Bitter...
