So... has anyone else heard it be called soda pop.

I have the opposite problem then most of you. I deliver to contractors and they expect us to do just about anything they want. One contracter tries to get our boom truck drivers to set steel i-beams for them(that they didnt buy from us), another wants everything carried inside, blah blah blah...

I used to get off flavors as well. I always developed leathery flavors when I did BIAB. Then I found out that it is called brew in a bag, not brew in a boot.

I built a stirplate recently and noticed that if i turn the poteniometer up to spin the fan faster that the stirbar will not move(I was using a dremel router bit as my stirbar). It was almost as if the magnet on the fan was moving too fast to even grip the stirbar. I just start with it off and...

I just bought one of them today I like the accuracy, quickness, and how it is supposed to be waterproof. I believe there is a video that shows them throwing it in a pot of water and it floats on top

Yesterday, I built a stir plate by scavaging pieces from the basement that have been around for a while. So today for a test run I decided to mix up some chocolate milk with it. It worked pretty good. It is now offically a kitchen utensil/brewing equipment and can be left on the...

Count me in as well

Im probably stepping too far into uncharted territority for me, but I was wondering if it is easily possible to age beer in a corny keg(no co2 can). I plan on getting into kegging within a year so I bought some pinlock kegs. I thought that maybe i can fill them up to age and eventually be able...

If you are moving outside of town where you can burn things. I saw some videos on how to make lump charcoal. It seemed pretty easy. Otherwise memorial day and 4th of July are your best times to stock up. 2-20lbs packs for 10$

It is best to start with a price range that you feel comfortable. There are upgrades out there that can help with the automation of smoking meat/grilling if you desire to go that route. My brother has a Daniel Boone by Green Mountain Grills (roughly $600) and makes good tasting food on it...

A commerical kombucha that I really enjoyed and shared with others that have not heard of kombucha is Live http://drinklive.com/ and dreamy orange is the flavor I had. They must of back sweetened with Stevia which would help reduce the bottle bomb issue and be healther. I am assuming that...

With no brewing or sanatiation knowledge I have made alcohol(ghetto wine) with my airlock being a ballon with holes poked in it from a needle. The ballon was over the opening of a milk jug. I cleaned out the milk jug by shaking it with water, pouring it out and calling it good. I have no idea...
