If my wife sees one more Austin HB store charge on the credit card......she's gonna buy a new Coach purse!

You're looking at one tin can, two coat hangers, and a hose clamp.

When you guys brew ten gallon batches, how long does it take for you to fly sparge and lauter the whole batch? If you collect wort at 1 gallon in 12 minutes with a 5 gallon batch, do you collect 2 gallons in 12 minutes for a 10 gallon batch? In other words, as you scale up the batch size...

I just finished purchasing $300 in lab equipment for yeast slants (so I can save $6 on yeast)! Its like how my wife saves money by buying all those shoes because they were on "sale".

You will never be able to boil even a small quantity of water on a grill.

Thanks! I'll rest it and let you know if it clear up.

A question for you beer gurus! I have cider/beer hybrid ready to drink. It has a confirmed case of hydrogen sulfide. The brew tastes great, the sulphide is all in the aroma and is moderately strong. Will this clear up with a couple months of bottle conditioning on the basement floor? Toss...

Has any one ever pushed a bottle down onto the bottle washer and missed the nozzle but pushed down the plate--and got a pressurized blast of hot water right to your eyeball and knocked you down to the floor in a comic over-reaction? Not that this happened to me this weekend...just wondering.

I've tried most methods, this is the process I settled on that requires the minimum possible effort and time for me. I have my bottles clean on bottling day, and: * make two gallons of your favorite sanitizer in a five gallon bucket * drown six bottles, when they're ready put them on your...

I've done a few fruit extract kits, mostly wheat beers. I didn't like the fruit extracts that are packaged with the kits. I would advise racking beer onto fruit in the secondary. Just my 2-cents. Good Luck.

If you have a keg setup, have you considered a counter pressure bottle filler? I think that would be a good long-term investment. If you have one, you can dispense into any container and take it where you like (two liter bottle, growlers)...

Ha! Well said! I do like the better-bottles though after knowing a friend that had a glass accident.

Use them as tile, thin-set to table top or something, then grout.
