Off topic, sort of, but... Blue Note in the pipe? I used to manage a tobacco store... I lOVE pipes! We used to sell Blue Note, but not enough flavor for me... Ever tried the Solani series? Monjure International is the importer, Steven Monjure is an AWESOME individual!

I was wondering what catalogs everyone gets at home? I am an admitted catalog hound, and love to get them! Any suggestions?

Here's a question... Any one you chaps that just made this care to send a sample bottle to a pal?

So what is the ball park figure to assemble this concoction? $30?

I posted in the recipe section about needing a recipe for a sweet beer for the wife. But before I try to make one, is there a commercial beer I could get her to try to see if we can find her definition of "sweet"?

Hi guys... I am looking to see if anyone has any ideas for a "sweet" beer. I have a friend who had the request. He said it was for his wife, who doesn't like "beer-beer", but wanted something with a touch of sweetness... I have no clue where to start!

Cool... Thanks John. I'll check out the link.

What is the best time to start looking for Rhizomes to buy? March?

So how do I find out about the usefulness of the "recycle number". I have several plastic carboys marked with a "7", that contained drinking water at some time. Are they neither suitable for beer or wine?

Since there is the AHA for homebrewing beer, I was wondering if there is a governing body for homemade wine competitions? BJCP offers a "style guide" for brews, so id there something similar for vino?

I can send you one, just send me a PM if you still need it. Also, you can download a trial version of Promash, and it has 3 recipes already loaded onto it.

Hmmm... How about Compu-Brew?

So... If I had ample access to plastic carboys that feed water coolers, that may not be a good idea? I'll post the recycle number on those as well.Sorry Xav, didn't mean to hijack your thread, but that is a good question!

Newbie question here... Wouldn't you only need a blow-off tube if you were making a 5-gallon batch, in a 5 gallon carboy? Would the Blow-off tube be necessary in a 6.5 gallon carboy?

What program did you use to design it? Photoshop?
