Home brews: normally between 45 and 55 degrees, depending on the style. Or if you are talking about summer time and store bought "plain" beer, I like it "Ice-Cold" (I don't buy "plain" beer except in the summer).

March 24th is Palm Sunday. We will be away visiting her mother and some other relatives. So I won't be able to attend this year. :(

Missed that this was in the cider forum. :o For my "Johnny Jump up" cider I used the Coopers drops, and I have some bottles left so I could compair it to the kegged "Johnny Jump up". Just Kegged and bottled my "Elderberry Cider" and used table sugar for priming.

Wow, I hope I can make it. If we are free I'll be bringing "Johnny Jump Up" and "Elderberry Cider" The Elderberry is a little young and I have not tried it yet, but the 24th is a couple of weeks away, who knows. John

Hmmm... I bought a bag of Coopers drops and I did not notice any flavor difference. People have not mentioned anything to me, when trying my bottled beers either. I keg most of each batch and force carbonate. And I only do a few bottles which I prime them individually. The bag of drops...

In 5 gallon kegs I like the rubber top handles, the two handles are nice for an older guy like me when handling them. Also, I can drain a cleaned keg easier with it standing upside down on it's handles. But for my 3 and 2 1/2 gallon kegs I like the single handle kegs better. Knock on...

Nice! One of a kind. What a great Mom!

+1 on Notty It's my "go to" dry yeast. Nice dense trub layer too.

"Im new to brewing and was finding using a glass hydrometer difficult are there any other devices out there?" There are hydrometers available with a smaller range, giving you a larger scale, which makes it quite easy to read. My FG hydrometer is a smaller range: 0.980 - 1.020, with about...

I would use a "vari-bit" which is a step drill bit. It would drill a nice hole quick in that aluminum. Taht looks like a nice little aluminum box.

A couple of years ago we went to a nice brew pub a bit north of Albany. It was called Davidson Brewery, or Davidson brothers, something like that... Great beers and ate some good food there too.

Another warm welcome from the Rochester, NY area HBT is a great forum, with plenty of helpful people. What's brewing? John

Phil, Welcome from the east side of Rochester NY. I started my recipes with books but nowdays, I look to the internet more than looking through my few brewing books. Regards, John You might be getting lake effect today. We are!
