Awesome. I'll reach out. Thank you.

Has anyone ordered anything from BrewJacket recently? I ordered some things from them a couple of weeks ago, knowing that they may not be open due to COVID-19. Here is my problem: I haven't seen any updates to my order, they haven't responded to my email and they haven't answered their phone...

Yes. All of the ciders have been bottled, and all ended up tasting pretty well. I would say that I would prefer using Nottingham yeast rather than S-04 for ciders. We decided to do plain, cherry, pepper, hopped, and bourbon barrel ciders. Plain was solid. Didn't add any extra sugar or...

I'm hardly an experienced wine maker, but we did try to make champagne for our wedding. We brew beer quite a bit, but the only real wine making we have done has been from kits. I say "try to make champagne" because it ended up not being sparkling, so we went to plan #2 which was just to have...

Well thanks for all of the suggestions. We settled it the only way we could think to do it. I picked two and she picked two. I picked Cherry and bourbon barrel. She picked hopped and pepper. We started soaking some oak cubes in boubon last week and roasted the peppers this weekend...

Thanks for the suggestion on the honey and mulberry. It is kind of too late on the S-04. I thought I read somewhere on here that it was a good yeast to use. Why was yours not so good?

So, my wife and I have started drinking a fair amount of apple cider. We've been making graf almost exclusively. But, now that fall is here and we live somewhat close to a orchard we decided to get a bunch of apple cider (~25 gallons) and let it ferment. We are currently trying to decide with...

Any notes on how this turned out?

I'd be interested on how this turned out.

It seems to be a pretty stripped down game to me. I bought it. A few of my friends have it. We will enjoy playing it. That being said.. I really must under estimate the amount of time it takes to create a video game like that. It has come to the point where I don't even want any NEW game...

I'm no expert like a lot of guys on here, but you may want to try just releasing the pressure rather than redoing your lines/pressures/temperatures. It is way easier and my keg lines are nowhere near 10 ft. Maybe 6 ft.

This might be a dumb suggestion and you might have already done it, but have you tried to take all of the pressure off the keg and start over? Like, if the beer is carbed up properly and you added too much CO2 (either because the pressure gauge on the regulator is screwed up or by accident)...

Cool. I'll have to order up one of these.

I'm curious as to why you say it isn't worth it to use for lagering? I like the idea of being able to use it when I want, and being able to put it away when we aren't making a lager (right now I don't have any way to do a lager).
