Just kidding, you've got the only kind of smack talk that matters.... Scoreboard! fwiw I predicted the streak would get to 7 even with the hiring of Saban, I suspect we Tide fans have one more year of defeat in the Iron Bowl to look forward too! Tubby is a great leader for a FB program...

Well batches 1 & 3 are started as stated above, only difference is the use of Cote des Blancs yeast. Everything's bubblin away :ban: so now the waiting game begins. At times like these I'm reminded of that great line from Star Wars... "Stay on target stay on target". Btw I'm fermenting in...

My Ingredients: 1 package of each of the following yeasts: Red Star Cote des Blancs, Lalvin EC1118, Coopers, & Safale S-04 3 Gallons of Apple juice/cider 1 qt natural peach nectar (water, peach puree, and sugar) 1/2 lb raisins 1 can apple juice concentrate splenda brown sugar...

Now that's funny! Gotta love da Bullwinkle and his sidekick! PM

It's funny you bring this up Waskelton. There is in fact the start of a movement to change the beer laws in MS. Short version of the story, I got contacted over at ratebeer.com by the user Iheartbeer about 2 weeks ago. We're going to have an initial meeting the week of May 14th. I've got...

Rouge has a "Chocolate Stout" in 22oz bottles... IT ROCKS!!! :ban: :rockin: :ban: It doesn't seem to suffer from the "bitterness" others are mentioning. You get a good malty start and a coffee finish with a nice mild chocolate finish/aftertaste. Nice body too! PM

Glad to know someone in central Mississippi knows what they're doing... :) There's actually a loosely organized brew club in Jackson, I'm sure that'll be an asset for me in my area. I'd love to stop by your place and sample some free beer, the sooner the better... errr I mean look at...

Hello fellow Mississippian I'm currently in Clinton MS, just west of Jackson on I-20. Grew up in Clark County south of Meridian, when people ask me where I'm from I always tell em Meridian... as it's easier than explaining that it's close to Stonewall and Clarko State Park!!!!!!! Welcome...

Thanks Bernie... Nor do I like words with more than 5 letters... what's neophyte mean anyway... I just thought it sounded good! :drunk: Phillip M

I've already printed out most of that book, and am reading "home brewing for dummies" (my first dummy book!) It's good, authored by former AHA president Marty Nachel. Hey Dibby... I don't come directly from the land of "3 legged" monsters.... but my heritage does. I have Mc in my last name...

Hytek I'm in Clinton MS. Just west of Jackson on I 20. So you're from north of Jackson... Holmes county?

Thanks for the help earlier... now I get to the really odd questions that are second nature to yall... but perplexing to me! 1) For bottle can't you use any "imported style" dark glass bottle that isn't a twist top? I mean I've got a quarter of what I need in my fridge right now... right...

Thanks guys. There's some helpful info here. For now I'm going to stick with the 5 gal fermentors, saving that money for carboys. Stay tuned I have LOTS more questions! Phillip M

First I'd like to say I'm very thankful for a community like this and ANY sage wisdom y'all may impart will be very much appreciated. For the record I'm in Mississippi and don't have contact with a single homebrewer here... I've decided to take the dive anyway! Could you help me with the...

Just wanted to drop a line and say hello. I've just begun my research and have started to put together my equipment. One thing that would be very helpful is a relationship with a few local homebrewers. I got lucky today... called Rainbow Whole Food Co-Op looking for supplies... long story...
