I'm trying to do a strawberry blonde. I added 10 pounds of strawberries when I racked to secondary last week and took a bunch of pictures! The whole album is at https://imgur.com/a/EYkk2 (Album has captions for each photo!) I have no idea how well it worked, it's time to bottle it!

Hi there! I just wanted to share a video I made with you all. It's pieced together from brew sessions dating back to our very first one in 2012 to much more advanced techniques and equipment in 2014. I hope you enjoy! I'd wager it's not your "normal" homebrewing video...

Sorry for the double post but in case anyone is interested I stumbled across a thread on BeerAdvocate that explains this a little more clearly (or attempts to): http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/hops-act-as-a-preservative.25169/

The solution I chose might entitle me to write a book called "Worst Homebrew Practices: Things you probably shouldn't do in a pinch".

No, that'd be awesome though. I did just try the only local brewery (Otto's Pub & Brewery, State College, PA) but unfortunately the brewery is closed and the guy on the phone didn't know about that.

Heya, So, I'm bottling some Apfelwein, and I'm just realizing that I am short about 30 caps. ****! Before I bite the bullet and settle on some flat apple goodness, does anyone know of any common stores that might sell bottle caps? The only LHBS in my area isn't open, and I probably won't...

What did you use to clean/sanitize your equipment and bottles? If you used bleach and didn't rinse it very well, I've heard that can leave a weird taste. It could also be something completely random! Like for instance, I was wondering why my second IPA (also extract based recipe) had a peachy...

Here are some pics, finally! http://www.flickr.com/photos/toupee/sets/72157635326911240/
