I am going to go ahead and cancel Netflix for now and give BB a trial (free). I did notice, as forementioned, that the site is a bit slower, a short wait on some titles and didn't like the general navigation of the site compared to Netflix. Faster shipping times and in-store exchange policy is a...

I signed up for Netfix's 2 week free trial. I recieved my 3 dvd's and sent them back (to a Wichita, KS) address. This is my home town. Sent them on a Wednesday and got the new ones on a Friday. I thought, "WOW" that is great...fast delivery. I noticed those 3 dvd's I had to send to Kansas City...

Started mine about 10 days ago...looking and tasting fine....#3085

You can find a dozen of so of these books for $1 (one dollar) on www.abebooks.com Along with many other beer and wine books for cheap.

That is what I am wondering. If maybe they "detected" that they were going to be used for steeping in a partial-extract procedure and figured that they didn't need to be crushed. Well anyway, I crushed them with a rolling pin and put up the brew this afternoon.

Thanks for the quick reply. No...I know for a fact they were not crushed....I just wasn't sure if they should be or not. It was not a kit that I ordered. All ingredients were ordered seperately. It was like a 1/2 lb of roasted barley and the same of the black patent malt and each came out to .75...

Also, the receipe calls for gypsum, but nowhere in the instructions does it say when to add this. Do I add it to the boiling wort or after the wort has been cooled? Thanks so much, Matt

I pulled a couple receipes out of Joy of Home Brewing. These are both partial extract receipes where you steep your grains for 20 minutes, add extract, boil (adding hops). Anyway, I ordered my ingredients from Midwest Supplies and requested that the black patent malt and roasted barley to be...

It's nice to dream, but don't think it will ever happen. It would cost upwards to $500,000 to bring something like that to market. I always want to make an insulated barrel for liqour stores. It could be pretty easy. Just take two 33 gallon trash cans and fill the correct amount of urethane. No...

I don't work there any longer. I have been gone for about 1.5 years. Our wheeled coolers were the worst. Handle weren't long enough, so when pulled the would clip your heals. On top of that, the drain was located on the ass end of the cooler, so when you tipped it to pull it, the drain latch...

I worked for the Coleman Company for 14 years. I have more coolers than I will ever need.

Title pretty much sums it up. I have a Kitchen Aid mix with an assortment of accesories, but not the grain mill (but might be able to find a cheap used one). I was wondering if it any good. I also have a Starbucks coffee grinder (not a cheap model) and was wondering how well this is for...

I used the Montrachet yeast and received the same results. A little activity after 24 hours, foaming at 36 hours and now at 48 hours, many bubbles coming up the sides and gassing out the airlock about every second. Thanks for all that replied. Matt

This is my first post and I am glad to find this community. Forums, in general, are nothing new to me, but this one is. I registered this morning and just finished up my first batch of Apfelwein. Does the yeast generally fall to the bottom, until it starts reacting to the sugar? If so, how...
