Ya, 27%. I suppose I can hit it with some Ksorb and back sweeten with some frozen concentrate to make it a little more palatable. On the other hand it does look like it's fermenting along quite nicely.

Call me the Post Lazarus, I bring them back from the dead. I got to looking at the EC Kraus destructions for making cranberry wine. It called for 15 pounds of cranberries. A little Google searching told me that there are 440 cranberries in a pound and 4400 in a gallon of juice. So...I got...

Found this at a local store. While I've been making my own beer for decades, I'm just a beginner with the whole wine thing. I made my first batch over the winter, just some Welches grape juice, apple juice, dextrose and montrechet yeast in a LBK as a test. Turned out drinkable, but nothing to...

Deer vs car is pretty common here. Had a car vs horse once during my early days with the fire dept. Had to cut the car apart to get the dead horse out of it. Drive was pretty messed up as well but lived.

I thought the idea was to ferment with the valve to the ball open, then close to remove the ball and dump.

C02 is heavier than O2. Whatever is in the ball is only going to be about 21% O2. I can't imagine that the minimal contact as it bubbles up and the CO2 resting on the surface of your brew forces the O2 out the airlock is going to have any noticeable effect.

Happens to the best of us. As long as no one lost an eye, it's all good.

I will be seeing them in December at the annual dinner. I did give one to the son of one of the guys that was on the dept then already.

Yeah, those too.

We did some hose testing at the fire department. In the process I found and removed from service some 2.5 inch hose that had been put in to service with the department in 1974. Seeing an opportunity, I cut some sections off at 4.25 inches and made can holders.

Thanks for this...I have access to a CNC router, I think I'm going to cut some parts out at work tomorrow.

I've been pondering that for days now. Still drawing a blank. My basement temps stay fairly stable here in Wiscowsin most of the year, and in particular once the winter heating season starts. I think that would work for most of the things I want to do, and then something like that wood frame...

Nice. I was thinking of modding out a wardrobe at work by adding a divider, doing a little line boring to add some storage shelves, but that looks a lot simpler.

Just ordered one. I've been using the same glass carboy since the mid-90's, getting a bit worried that it might give out one of these days. This seems like a safer replacement.

Get the stainless steel one. http://www.homebrewstuff.com/stainless-steel-carbonator-cap.html
