2# pellet hops(willamette and nugget) 6 rhizomes (centennial, cascade, and nugget) london esb smack pack better get to work!

Since I buy grain and hops in bulk, re-use/wash yeast, and have an all electric brewery, my batches are quite affordable. I recently did a munich SMaSH w/ cluster hops on my stove w/ a heat stick 8.5# munich and 1.5oz cluster and free US-05 is around $6.50 bucks for 5 gallons.

Id definitely cover and compost to keep the smell down. My dad used to toss his in the garden in big piles. It took FOREVER to break down in one big pile. Work in grass clippings, dead leaves, etc. Mix it often to keep things aerated and it'll make some wonderful compost for your garden...

Same with my poulty. They seem to like it better a couple days later when it starts to sour :cross:

5 gal cream ale, 10 gal kentucky common, and soon to be 10 gal of english mild. Getting all my ales out of the way as the temp in my basement has transitioned into the lager range... YAY fall!

I naturally carb in the keg all the time. The only disadvantage to me is that it takes longer. I do seat the opening on the keg with a hit of co2 first though to avoid the problem Double_D mentioned.

2x 120V 3/8" plastic valves to replace the two ball valves on my diy counter pressure bottle filler. I am going to rig them to some momentary switches that will be foot operated.

I love a nice hoppy beer, but my favorite styles are almost all malt centric. My wife would replace her blood with baltic porter if she could. I don't understand the tooth enamel eating hop bombs either, but to each his/her own!

Another vote for #9.

5 gallon BIAB no chill cream ale w/ dry yeast. I love brewing on a whim and not having to dedicate a ton of time/prep.

A simple wheat beer or a mild are my go to beers for heavy drinking events.

Yes. I had to clean it by discarding whatever floated and most of what was left germinated so I'd say i got about 75-80% usable. It converted just fine, just had a higher protein % than my brewing malt so it made a really hazy beer. Ive also done this with wheat and rye with similar results.

I always freeze to help break the fruit up.

I grow pie pumpkins for pumpkin porter and pale ale I collect wild black/raspberries for mead Growing apple and pear trees for cider/perry I also used to have a mint problem that was used to make some schnapps Blackberry cider has been my favorite though. 1-2lbs of fruit per gallon w/...

Feed barley is going to be lower quality than a human consumption version. Ive done this in the past, but I had to clean it up a little as it had other stuff in it. I gave it a soak and tossed whatever floated, and then roasted it in the oven. I have also malted feed barley, but it seemed to...

If you have an old PC power cord you could make a 1500-2000 watt version for about $20. http://www.cedarcreeknetworks.com/heatstick.htm There is also a basic brewing podcast about the subject: http://media.libsyn.com/media/basicbrewing/bbr04-29-10electric.mp3 also a link to the...

Awesome! I've created a couple home brewers this way. They just want to see what its all about and after they are shown how easy and fun it is they are hooked.

Yet another vote for brewers art. I go every time I am in the area.

2.5 ginger snap brown ale 34955 + 2.5 = 34957.5

Potassium/Sodium metabisulfite (Campden tablets) I treat all my fresh pressed, unpasturized cider this way 24 hours before pitching.
