I figures amoebae would not survive fermentation, but hey, didn't know for sure. I do recommend that any additional water that would need to be added to the wort be sterilized first.

This is a what if scenario based on the Netti Pot amoeba occurrences (ref mobile link: http://m.npr.org/story/143960631?url=/blogs/health/2011/12/19/143960631/second-neti-pot-death-from-amoeba-prompts-tap-water-warning ) What if I top my wort off to 5 gallons using unsterilized tap water that...

I bet that will be a great melomel. I made a huckleberry and blackberry melomel and the flavor is outstanding. It gets better every month that it sits in the bottles.

This is great information, thanks all !!!

This certainly does not seem to be a Constitutional issue. Municipalities and local governments may pass ordinances as they please, so long as the ordinances are lawful. But certainly it is not without precedent that the local government will proactively restrict the presence of animals in...

This stuff is awesome!!! It didn't carb up at all in the bottles, but no worries, it knocked my socks off!!

I've been chasing the perfect pumpkin brew for awhile now, so while gazing upon my ingredients that were scattered around from previous brews, It was an easy decision at 2AM to make a Spiced Pumpkin Braggot. Maybe I just wanted to go to sleep, maybe it was the right thing to do, but when I woke...

It came through quite strong. This proved to be a good addition that takes a few weeks to mellow.

I unexpectedly had 2 gallons of trub with my last all grain pumpkin ale. Just let it sit in the primary for a few weeks then siphon off the usable beer. It will be fine I think.

I kegged my beer this weekend out of the primary and dumped the Northern Brewer pumpkin ale onto the 2 gallons of trub that I had left over. My initial impression, while the beer is still keg conditioning, is that the beer needs to sit for maybe a week or more to mellow out; I dumped some...

I've decided to order the pumpkin ale extract kit from Northern Brewer and to put the wort onto the trub. I accept that for a variety of reasons that I do so at my own peril, but call it a personality flaw or whatever, I have never overpitched the heck out of a beer before in this manner and...

You're right. My wife just looked at me like I was kind of crazy when I asked her if she thought I could make soap out of it.

I'm trying to decide if I should just consider this portion as waste. I wonder if there is anything drinkable in there that could be filtered out.... Maybe I could make something out of it. It seems a shame to waste it.

Did anyone else have excessively huge amounts of sediment?

I think I might just go ahead and do it. I won't make a wine out if it, mostly because I haven't done that yet. I'll carb the heck out of it and let it age out. -Will

That was what caught my eye, it was just pure grape and apple! I regularly use Albertsons three apple blend to make hard cider, tree top is usually quite dry.

So I noticed this 100% not from concentrate concord grape / apple mixture. No other ingredients added. And I think to myself that I bet I could add some Nottingham and end up with something drinkable. Has anyone tried this? If not, would you care to speculate on the results?

Thanks Andyy!!

This should be my next brew!

Well, I may not have time give the the Hacker-Pschorr another try, but I'm going back to visit Marinette on Monday. I've really wanted to make it further north where there is a really beautiful state park.
