In march, my wife and I bought a new house. My next door neighbor is a super nice guy and he mentioned that he "needed a hobby" because even with work and family life (we both have 2 small children) he still needed an outlet. In that moment I knew we'd be friends because while having children...

I'm going to plant some of these between the peas I just put out in the garden and hopefully I'll be able to report back by next month about how they did. Thansk for all the replies.

Very nice. A press is on my 'to do' list. This looks like a nice one; elegant simplicity.

I should clarify that the yeast called for in the recipe is bread making yeast. It will rise within an hour or so.

Note: I hope this isn't too off topic but I was afraid if I posted it anywhere but the cider forum that many of the cider enthusiasts might miss it. After brewing another 10g double batch of Graff I decided I needed to explore options besides just drinking it all. This led me to some searching...

So..... Hows it going? Bottled yet?

I just picked up the ingredients for 10 more gallons. This will be batches 3 and 4 of graff for me. Love the stuff! 1599.5 + 10 = 1609.5

Thanks for all the info. I might give them a try and report back.

I work as a professional horticulturist for a local plant nursery. Yesterday I was walking through our seed room and noticed a pack of radish seeds that states "Popular snack with beer and dip". I've never heard of this before. I tried a google search but didn't find much about what type of beer...

I appreciate the concern but this bike is mostly just for pedaling at slow speeds around the neighborhood. I am considering trimming the backs of the U bolts on the handlebars and capping them with acorn nuts in case my thighs hit the handlebars but I run clipless pedals [my pedals and bike...

I don't own a car so I ride my bike anytime I need to get beer regardless of the weather. Fortunately, I own 5 bikes including a tandem (since the Mrs. isn't steering or braking she should be able to hold a 12 pack in each hand.) and I also own several backpacks, messenger bags, and a full-on...

I ♥ those Bakfiets style bikes. +10 points for style. Not even counting the keg equipment, that is probably a $4,000+ cargo bike. Dude doesn't even have any cups though. -10 points for poor planning.

The extra length is (A) to allow use on multiple bicycles that may have higher handlebar-to-front axle lengths and also helps with lateral stability. They could be cut shorter but I'm not too worried about them as-is. I'm considering acorn nuts over the threads on the u-bolts connected to the...

Below are some pictures of my Christmas welding project. In addition to home brewing and wine making I'm an avid cyclist and builder of bike stuff. I decided for my fixed gear/single speed townie bike I wanted a front rack. Rather than build a generic front rack I decided to go a little more...
