Become Eskimo's? problem solved. Besides it's only a problem where the fungi inhabit. I'm down with everyone else, i had a dream with a sword in it called the "Zombie Decapitator" Some day i will have this sword. And then let Z day begin baby!

I found an Ale the other day that was brewed by monks, i was reading the bottle and most of the money goes to keeping their monastery going.. which i guess would be obvious but whatever it seemed kind of neat to me. But it was $9 for a 1 Liter bottle.. I do like the idea of being charitable by...

Or ask for the number of his insurance agency and see if you can clear it with them :)

Alright Alright, i'll let things sit for 3 weeks in primary. That'll make it close to 2 months before i can drink the beer.. :( On another note i'm going to make Ed's Apfelwein in the next couple of days :D picked up the yeast but i forgot to grab starsan while i was at the LHBS.

Well yeah but i gotta bottle anyway and i know the beer can condition in the bottles, so why don't i just let it condition for longer? It cuts the secondary out of the picture and i get to free up the fermenter faster. Is bottle conditioning bad?

Guess i'll just stick with the dextrose tablets until i get a bottling bucket. I guess i'm a little paranoid about Autolysis, i hear it can start creeping up at 3 weeks. What does leaving the beer sitting on a bunch of dead or i guess possibly dormant yeast really do for the beer? Wouldn't it...

Will anything bad happen if you pitch to much yeast? I want to make Apfelwein so i'm paranoid about using a 5 gram packet of wine yeast.. Can anything bad happen if you use to much? Or just don't worry about it? Seems like Yeast is limited by the availability of O2 anyway.

I'm pretty sure people say they mix it up in a bottling bucket, and that you can do it in a fermenter if you give things half an hour to settle back down.. Besides things will be settling to the bottom of the bottle while they sit in the fridge, i usually give it a couple of weeks and i don't...

hmm i could see 5 being it. Either way doesn't seem like a big deal. People just seem excited about things like a good head on a beer.. Thanks guys, i got one more question, i need to bottle today but i'm not all that sure how much priming sugar to throw in the fermenter? Got 3/4 or whatever...

I hear there's yellow lights that scare bugs away, try looking into those?

I tested a batch of beer a bit early and it has no head at all :( is this normal? it's an amber ale and it was in fermenter for 2 weeks, conditioned for 1.5 weeks.. fridge for 2 days. I have the bulk of it still conditioning i was just worried there might have been an infection. It seemed to...

cold break? to get rid of chill haze?

Well i've never been married but i've had a few buddies let woman control their lives and i've had the same thing happen to me. Some woman can be manipulative. I refused to stop drinking for a girl, but i slowed way down, but after she left she had the audacity to say it was because i drank to...

Bruce Willis had emotions.. And that one movie "the outsiders" or whatever it was when the woman killed her kids had emotions. I really see no loopholes in the whole we're dead logic. I don't see how Samuel L. Jackson could do the commentary for that movie, i recall him being eaten by a shark...

can you throw them in the bottles after a couple of weeks in the fermenter? Can they age like that? I don't like the idea of not being able to use my fermenter for a whole year. Oh and how long would you say is a minimum wait to drinking apfelwein? i've never tried it before so i'm looking...

Few years back Coast to coast had 3 different "psychic's" claiming that the world would end at three different dates. One of them was 2009. I'm banking that was the end of the world and we're all just unaware that we're dead. Ever see sixth sense?

priming sugar tablet time?

+1 on everything android said. I think you usually want some head space on your fermenter too. That or a blow off tube. Plus if the plastic is scratched you'd need to replace it. Oh and to clear up the whole cleaning process, it's pretty straight forward. But i think John Palmer can say it...

Plus they might make another Carboy factory in the country..

please tell me Mouse means something else..
