We had a bad infestation of carpenter ants last Summer. We wanted to be careful about what we used since we had a newborn. Mixed about a tablespoon of borax with about a half a cup of powdered sugar on a paper plate. We put this everywhere we saw the ants. It took about a week, but the...

Relax, Stop Rushin' Imperial Red IPA

Look forward to using my new Inkbird soon, thank you so much! I think I'll try it out with a whole smoked turkey on the grill for its first job.

Ever since I planted the Nugget and Cascade rhizomes on Saturday afternoon that you sent me, it's done nothing but rain here in the Upper Peninsula where I'm at. Just stopped raining a little while ago. Planted them out in half barrels (55 gallon) with a bunch of holes in them, some small...

Very cool product - been looking for a reliable thermometer for years and keep running into crappy ones that die after about a year (even when carefully taken care of). Please count me in on the contest, and thank you.

Thank you everyone for the advice! Really excited to get started up again. I'll follow up with feedback on how it turns out.

Maybe I'll stick with just the Cascade. Any ideas on flavor by having the 5# Extra Pale LME with 3.15# Munich LME? Would that be a tasty way to use my extra ingredients? Or should I try to come up with something else?

I'm jumping back into brewing after 4 years away. I never really graduated beyond a beginner level brewer, having only brewed about 20 gallons. I need to ease my way back into this. The first recipe I want to try to make (in the next month) is the recommended/famous EdWort American Pale Ale...

Thank you! Look forward to hanging out in the forums and brewing some tasty beer.

Thank you! Yes, we are blessed to have such a quiet, natural area up here. Winter is nice too --- the 25 FEET of snow this Winter was a bit of work though. The Keweenaw Co-op store in Hancock has a small home brew section - I never really studied it since I haven't been brewing. I'll have...

Hi, I'm Jon. I'm from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a.k.a. a Yooper. I did about 20 gallons of home brew beer four years ago, got busy with life, and now looking to get back into some beginner level brewing to start back up. I "stalked" the forums 4 years ago for advice, but thought...
