A bomber of Graff.

We're driving to Burlington via Portsmouth tomorrow afternoon and returning via Portsmouth on Sunday afternoon, and will be back in town again on Tuesday night. Any chance you could hold onto three for me? I'm *so* tired of bottling (was up pretty late last night, in fact), and I'd like to tap...

Oh yeah? We're in Portsmouth twice a week... Safe to assume yours are in pretty good shape and hold pressure?

That link appears to be dead - any idea if the group-buy is still being organized?

Not sure what their turnaround time - or your budget - is, but these are pretty slick - reusable, and about a buck each. Edit: Doh! Here's the link: GrogTag.com

Sounds tasty... care to share the recipe?

I'd just roll with it. It'll settle in the primary and likely never make it into the bottle/keg.

Two .75L bottles of 190 proof booze added to 5 gallons of 5% cider would make for 11.6% "cider" and would likely be so completely unbalanced it would be a waste of both. If your goal is to get drunk, do shots and chase with cider so you can at least enjoy one of them in the process! :mug:

That's the size I think I'm interested in using... are you happy with the one you picked so far? If so, what make/model is it?

I'm curious too. He had said he got 1.1 from the three pounds of 2-row, which sounds a touch high at ~37 points per pound per gallon, but the end result isn't all that different from 2lbs of DME at ~44 ppg. I could have my head up my ass on this, though... I'm just thinking out loud.

Neat solution for handling the drip tray.

How did you make out? Did you buy/make/other something?

:eek: Holy. Cow.

Excellent. Remember, the OP BrandonO said it's best after three weeks of conditioning. I usually drink an entire batch before three weeks is up, so I wouldn't know, but I'll take his word for it!

Adding more sugar when priming wouldn't have created more residual sweetness since it would have ended up fermenting and creating bottle bombs - unless you're just talking in general terms and really meant adding a non-fermentable sugar for backsweetening. Regardless... I have made the batch...

Good point. I should have mentioned that I was referring to 12oz bottles. I eyeball it with bombers.

Since you do want a little headspace, it's a convenient bonus of the mechanics of bottling with a wand - the displacement from the wand equals just the right amount*. * Of course, someone out there disagrees with it being "just the right amount" of headspace, but I think it would be safe to...

Tis nice to find/develop a recipe you love, huh? I think I'm going to start making Ffarg and Graff in rotation, which will probably evolve to a cider/Ffarg/Graff showdown (or deathmatch) at my wedding reception in September. :tank:
