This looks like a pretty solid starter kit!!!! I think I spent about $160 with Northern Brewer when I started, W/O Papazian's book!!!

I use the 3 growlers I own to get local beer from my brewery or craft beer friendly restaurant. Check around, some (if not all) Mellow Mushroom's do it.

I am going to finish up a month of fermentation on a S-04 yeast cake. This is the first use of that yeast. I am wanting to start another beer that is above 1.060, and they suggest a double pitch of WLP004. Do I need to double pitch or can I rely on the fact that this pack of S-04 is going strong...

Welcome from the mouth of the Creeper Trail in SW Virginia! Ever down this way give me a shout!

Check out Duck Rabbit's Milk Stout!!!

Pontificating Pumpkin Porter is the name of my Pumpkin Spiced Porter, too many and you will be long winded too!

Bottles a Rye Ale with cedar and brewed a Pumpkin Porter yesterday. The house still smells like pumpkin pie!

Welcome from SW Virginia!

After a successful meeting of the Over Mountain Homebrewers we have a few bottles laying around that were left at the "meeting house". We are located in and around SW Virginia/NE Tennessee. These are free for pick up at Wolf Hills Brewery. There is a wide assortment of bottle types. Belgin...

Here is what I am doing with cedar. I am using cedar out of my local cigar shop, gonna break it down into smaller chunks and throw in the bottom of my secondary. Since I know that this wood was in a controlled environment and not out in the elements I am not so concerned with bugs, etc. When I...

The ole newbie jitters... I must be a saint when it comes to brewing beer... I haven't jacked with my first batch fermenter since I put it in there on brewing day 2.5 weeks ago! The Rye Ale will come out this weekend and I am sure I will be able to wait for it to bottle condition! It is weird...

+1 on getting the word out. I had 50 bottle of Sam Adam's Octoberfest show up in the bed of my truck the other day when I was at a meeting. So I had the EXTREME burden of draining them to refill with my homebrew! In 4 weeks I am up to 150 bottles. I happen to know some drinkers, I guess! I even...

Most $10-$20 cigar are made of 100% tobacco... Hell even the lower dollar amount ones are too. But some are infused or cured. Infused is not my thing AT ALL. But I have had a few higher dollar cigars that had whiskey introduced into the tobacco at one time or another and they were pretty good...

I just sew my secondary out of tobacco leaves. :rockin:

Thinking of the flavors we often experience as cigar and pipe smokers I can think of PLENTY that are not tobacco. Flavors I often experience can range from leather, earth, coffee, pepper, oak, cedar, clove and or salt. Now that is not all in the same cigar or bowl of tobacco, but some of my most...

That 5 gallon is good for a secondary fermenter. There is considerably less of a chance of overflow in a secondary.

I did a starter for my Wyeast American Ale last week... I used a simple pot and container method. 1/3 cup of LME and 3 cups water. And the starter either never started, or it did it so quickly I never saw it. Anyway, I pitched it 25 hours after I did the starter and in 36 hours I had the airlock...

I pitched the starter last night after 25 hours. The starter never started, I used 1/3 cup LME and 3 cups water from an example I saw elsewhere. Might have been too small of a starter, but as I write the yeast is working hard and belching gas through the airlock! Been doing it all day! So I am...
