Don't think they use the actual gland. Assuming they are talking about this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castoreum

Came across this article talking about what some of the major brewers are putting in their beers. One more reason to brew your own :mug: http://foodbabe.com/2013/07/17/the-shocking-ingredients-in-beer/

Wow this is really similar to what I do. I just use a bottling wand instead works great to cut down the foam. Added benefit no cutting and I already had the wand from my bottling days!

I'm just going to throw this out there for future reference. You don't really need to buy more than one bucket with a spigot. All my buckets have them and it's a pain in the ass to clean/sanitize them

@fastandy last reading was when I racked on the 11th. I don't have a wine thief currently so I can only take a reading while I rack @scrambledegg81 that's what I assumed it was as well but I looked at my logs it's been a month since brew day and 18 days since it was racked to secondary. Which...

Hi this is my first post on this forum! My situation is -I live in a small apartment and would like to buy as little equipment as possible. -I'm unsure whether I will be able to brew outside or be confined to the stovetop. -I will be starting out with a partial mash/BIAB, with the...
