Check for welding supply businesses. That's where I get mine filled, or exchanged at.

When I get to dry hopping my Furious, I have a grain bag sterilized and ready to go. I get it started into the carboy, then weigh it down with decorative glass pieces (marbles) then get the hops put in the grain bag. I tie it off with a piece of sanitized string and drop the whole bag down into...

Widmer Hef and Surly Furious clones Just picked up supplies yesterday for both. :drunk:

Typically frozen fruits are good just the way they are. I usually freeze my fruits before using them. This helps in breaking down the cellular walls, so the natural sugars can be more easily released. Thawing frozen fruits also makes prepping them easier too. You don't have to work too hard to...

My wife got me a bottle for my 50th B-day. It was a '10, and was quite different, but enjoyable. At that time I was in the process of brewing my own version of Utopia. I read all the posts in the few threads on the forum, and compiled my own recipe from all the data there. After running into the...

It depends on what temp you are trying to achieve. I typically only use a swamp cooler during the summer months, when I have decided to brew a lager and need the cooler temps. I usually run all my ales at normal room temp to start, then put them in the basement which is around 60*. After I rack...

I don't have my notes with me, but I brewed that small barleywine I talked about. It had a SG of 1.090. Once I had a full rolling fermentation, I added in my stalled brew, half a gallon at a time. Usually one in the morning and another at night. If memory serves me, it ended about a 1.040. This...

I might try the blender method to juice them, but their yield seemed really low. I was getting almost a full 8 ounces of juice from one pomegranate. So out of 6 pomegranates, I got 1.5 liters or about 50+ ounces of juice. Here is the food mill I have.

So I waited a whole year for the pomegranate harvest, and I finally came across them a week or so ago, at Sams club. Very nice and very large fruits. Pretty good price too. A four pack for $8, or $2 a piece. Costco has them in a 6 pack for $12.99. So I am going to make a pomegranate wine, but...

Sounds like a great product.

OK, so with that info, My original reading should be accurate, correct ? I will remember this for the future. Thanks

OK, so now I am confused. I strained out the raspberry pulp, and racked into a secondary. When I took a brix reading, it was around 10. The line was not very defined, but it was between the 10 and 11. When I took a hydrometer reading, it was at 1.004. So how can that be ? According to all the...

I started about a 4 gallon batch of Raspberry wine. I had 16 pounds of berries thawing in a large plastic tote, and added about 2 gallons of boiling water with about 16 pounds of sugar dissolved in it, and mixed them well. I let them sit until everything was thawed and back to around room temp...

Unfortunately this brew has completely stalled out at 1.090. Way to sweet to even think about drinking. My plan is to do a 2 gallon batch of barleywine at 1.090 and when it's at a full rolling fermentation, add a couple quarts of my Utopia at a time to it, and get it to finish. It won't be as...

I clean my kegs one at a time. The reason for this, is I havethree different styles of kegs and don't want to take the chance of putting the posts on the wrong kegs. I disassemble the posts, and soak them in oxyclean. Then put more of the oxyclean solution in the keg and I have a dedicated long...
