They were young growth, I chopped them roughly and put them in a cheesecloth bag to make cleanup easier.

How is the book?

Hi, Does anyone know if a party star tapping device can be fixed once it starts sputtering? It is like it either has a blockage that keeps beer from pouring smoothly or its sucking air. Thanks

Had a early morning sermon, tea with people ar church and bottled a bit of catawba wine that finished bulk aging. If all goes well, might brew a scottish ale later today.

looks like a good idea to me. I usually brew 1.25 gal at a time, so the mini kegs would suit my purpose more, I don't want to have to change my brewing habbits just so I can fill a normal corny. My long term goal is also to use standard connections. I've seen some one amazon, but they are a...

Thanks Revvy!

Hi, I'm thinking of dipping into the world of kegging, but don't want to spend too much starting the process, so I'm looking at the mini kegs as a trail run. I'd like to find out if one can use the built in tap on the bottom of the keg, and pump CO2 in from the top to maintain pressue? Has...

Hi, This might be a longish post. I saw the homepage article and it got me thinking a bit. Like many I started brewing with extract, and then wanted more control than the ready made extract kit's allowed, and in South Africa the options for unhopped extract are either imported extract...

Well a crazy girl probably means you will never be bored, and most people are somewhat crazy, so give it a go and see what happens. Some of my greatest girlfriends were batsh## crazy and hit as can be, I married one who was just crazy enough for me.

Cool idea for a small fermentor, and yes I know this is an old thread, but I just bought one of these thinking I had a good idea, just to find there really is nothing new under the sun... Would probably also be good as primary for small batches of country wine...

Hi, At a race a few weeks ago it was illegal to sell beer on the premises, so they sold glasses and offered to fill it with a free beer. Does anyone think one could do something similar with homebrew at a fundraising fair for a Non-Profit or is it too close to selling homebrew?

It's 5.5 beer. The hard lemon is basically skeeter pee that's made with ale yeast at beer ABV.

It's been a slow year. We had a hectic heatwave that kept me from brewing for the last week. Thus far I've only brewed 3 Gal Hard lemon, 2 Gal scottish light, 1 Gal california common and 2.5 Gal Stout.

Keeping in mind I prefer Belgian and scottish ales and they are very expensive. I save a lot of money by brewing rather than buying. But I didn't drink as much beer before I started brewing. My main goal is having a good hobby, in that sense it's cheaper than a lot of other options.

I use a 2.5 gal cooler and put the grain in a voile bag to mash. It works very well for up to 2.5 gal batches. It's easier than BIAB for me, but BIAB has the advantage of being able to step mash.

Have a sermon at church and if all goes well I will brew a scottish ale. Regardless I will try my latest california common.

I started brewing small batches every two weeks. I now have a 10 month old son. I brew when I have time and feel like it.What helps is having everything preped for the day you want to brew, so you can just brew I also brew bigger batches so I have something to drink on days when HE is exhausing...

Just bottled a 1 gal scottish gruit batch. I think I have the most fun when I brew 1 gal batches, the larger batches feel like work...
