Cleared them a few minutes ago.

If it can fit in the backseat or trunk of a '98 cavalier, I'm probably interested. If you're close to Roanoke, that's even better. Hit me up via PM.

Hey guys - Getting ready to fire up a couple 5 gallon batches, but I have a question. I know the original recipe calls for apple cider/juice with no preservatives, but the store I work at just placed 1/2 gallons of honeycrisp and fuji apple cider on sale for 99 cent, but the label says it...

Pictures! I love to see a good mess. It makes me feel better about my brewing skill.

As soon as I move out of a closet, I'm going for Cattywampus Brewing Co. I've been calling my 8 month old the Cattywampus (I know it's not a noun!) since she was born and it was one of the first things that popped into my head when I was trying to think up a name.
