.........lol.

How about working towards starting your own brew pub? It looks like you're more motivated to brew and more enthusiastic about it than your current job. No reserve, no retreat, no regret. Do what you love to do and don't look back :mug:

I must say that I'm rather surprised at how many of you are all whiny about a guy choosing to smash up his own carboys. If it makes anyone feel any better I would not have taken the time to sell them, not to anyone. We all choose what we are willing to tolerate when it comes to anything...

You will get an infection? What do you put in your airlock? Are you saying all of the liquid gets sucked into the carboy and thats why there may be an infection? One possibility is to use some higher quality vodka or other neutral grain spirit. That way its not rot gut going into your...

The main reasons I executed my glass carboys are very simple. 1. There is a peace of mind in not handling something that could severely injure me while doing something I love. And I don't need any added stressors like handling large vessels of cheaply made glass from Mexico. 2. If you...

I thought about selling them, but they have been heavily used and I know at least two of them had hairline cracks. I wouldn't wish those carboys on anyone. Its amazing one never broke on me. And because I live in the middle of no where, trying to sell them is more trouble than they are worth...

Hi everybody, When the month of December came around I decided to do some major beer, cider and mead making, as I had the whole month off. During the course of that month I made 50 gallons of beer, cider and mead. To say the logistics were difficult is putting it lightly since I didn't have...

............I dooooooooo! haha, no, i'm good now. It wore off rather quickly, interestingly enough.

Hey everyone, Just bottled some mead today. I just drankk some ofit..........its a experimentel high alcohol meadd./ I used red star peremier cuvee....and did a step feedign program. That yest is crazy!! The abv IS 23%. This is no jioke! I'll repeat that just =so you dont thin its a...

Next summer my bro is getting married and I'm in charge of the beverages. We are looking at having 200+ people for the reception. I will not and I cannot serve BMC or anything of the sort. Everything will be my own homebrew. So what do you all think are the ideal and most appropriate...

Thanks david_42. I checked the BJCP guidelines for the Tripel and the highest FG they state is 1.016. So I'm okay.

This is what I agree with. Its not the governments place to regulate where people can and can't smoke. Its just not in their job description. Its the owner of the establishments job to decide whether to allow smoking or not. Its really very simple. With the direction that governments of...

Thats a good question. I think its beer if its made with barley (or any kind of fermentable grain) and it has carbonation in the finished product. So it's beer if its 3% and its beer if its 15 or 20%. Saying its only beer if its below 9 or 10% is just limiting what beer can be. Now if by...

Anyone at all? Just trying to figure out if I need to do something to speed this yeast up.

Woah.....talk about kicking over a hornets nest. Well, its called "Drunken Ramblings and Mindless Mumbling" for a reason :drunk: I hope no one was too offended over what I said. It was just a rant. And everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Let us remember that there is a...
