As far as the cigars go, my only thought would be to separate it from the brewing store. An inside door or something to link the two. The smokers i have been around don't have a problem with drinking, but the non-smokers i have been around are not very tolerant of smoking. If you make them...

+1 on that location!!!! We drive 127 about 6 times a year to see my parents at Higgins Lake. I can let SWMBO get gas and take care ofthe daughter and I'll stop in and harass you, I mean shop :)

Only way to get that sweet/plum aroma is to take your time and brew the Old Ale to mix with the Amber. That is whole secret to Newky. The BYO recipe calls for a 3:2 ratio, which leaves some Old Ale. I just rack this leftover into the smallest carboy I can find, and cover it with a cardboard...

OT: look up www.cornykeg.com, they manufacture a NICE color coded set of ball-locks for the pin lock kegs. I liked them so much I replaced my original ball locks. Ok, back to the sale

Pm sent, interested in the whole lot

I did a little research and here is a good BYO article: http://www.byo.com/stories/recipes/article/indices/38-ingredients/1635-what-is-the-purpose-of-pectic-enzyme-in-many-fruit-beer-recipes Compleye Joy of Homebrewing, page 89, also explains about fruits, their use and pectins...

Nah steeping the strawberries at the end of the boil is the way to sterilize them without setting the pectins. Boiling is what sets the pectins. Sounds like you just didn't leave in the fermenter long enough.

I was thinking about this some more, and i have to add, take a page from Forrest's Ausint Homebrew Supply, and do your own kits. EVERYONE carries Best Brew kits, and they are easy, but how hard it would it be to offer you own kits? You're already ordering the ingredients, just double up...

Thanks for all the help guys! Appreciate it a lot. Now that's a hot blonde. Came in at 1.046, should have been 1.055... I think that just means less ABV, no?

Bah! Haven't tossed a batch yet!! A couple probably should have been. My chem E prof told me that no known pathogens grow in beer wort or wine. My thought is: It's drinkable or I discover "the one" and become famous!

wow, so I guess that's an AG phenomenon? my extracts never did that.

So, what is hot break and what does it do? besides look ugly? Thanks for the taunting too btw, I appreciate it, as I was frantically trying to figure out wtf was going on!!! RDWHAHB, right? On my second right now :)

Yes revvy looks exactly like that. Sorry bout the confusion, was trying to post up from my iPhone. Thought that was a public folder...

Any idea what these floaties are? They don't seem to be growing, they don't stir away though either, they showed up as I got to boil temps. Following SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde by the book, recipe, no additions, subtractions or exchanges.

Sorry for the typos, in line at the DMV on my iPhone. Wanted to add: not sure if your margins on the DIY stuff would be very good. Maybe a consignment agreement to draw in foot traffic, but you're looking at HUGE investment of capital for a long turn around. I have collected a network of...

I will throw in: Hire BREWING staff. The LHBS closest to me hired some part-timers just ther for a check and they couldn't tell you the diference between ale and lager yeast let alone answer a real question. I drive 15 mins farther to NOT go there. I can not imagine they draw a whole lot of...

Hahaha now that I have my freezer i was wondering what to do with my mini-fridge. SWMBO just read this over my shoulder and walked away sighing, and saying "oh good Lord! Will this ever end?!".
