    First time growing

    2x rhizomes were $28 shipped. Don't know at all if that's fair, saw them on craigslist and found out it was a person relatively close to me who grew them and figured I'd give it a try. Watering is a drip system that I manually turn on, but I may buy a timer for it. The drip tube was free from a...

    Couldn't sell it... so slipping it past the gf

    GF is terrifed of the cats messing with stuff. The rubber bands make it so even if the cats get interested it turns itself off :)

    Couldn't sell it... so slipping it past the gf

    I modded it and moved it indoors. I was trying to sell a side by side turned keggerator, but I live in the sticks so it wasn't happening. The gf does not want a keggerator in the house. However, she does like soda water. I happened to have a mini freezer that will fit two kegs and a co2 tank...

    Cote des blancs yeast for mead

    Sometime having things put in a different perspective is surprisingly helpful. I have brewed beer for quite some time (only making mead because I was given a comical amount of honey) and I've always known yeast were living things, magical living things that poop out booze! However, I have never...

    Cote des blancs yeast for mead

    Have any of you actually used cote de blancs? Just like my google search we have a range of 12-16% in the replies here so far. What has your personal experience actually using this yeast been?

    Cote des blancs yeast for mead

    Where did you find that on their website? I searched their website to the best of my ability and could not find anything definitive. If it's not too much trouble coupd you post a link? Also, thanks for the during fermentation instructions. I would not have degassed or taken gravity readings...

    Cote des blancs yeast for mead

    I'm pretty new to mead making, working on my 3rd batch. First two batches I used EC-1118, been 10 months and still tastes like cough medicine. This time I'm using Cote des blancs yeast. I've seen a wide variety of ABV tolerances listed for this yeast from 12% up to 16%. Anyone have experience...

    California kegerator

    Side by side converted to keggerator. Comes with 2 stainless perlick faucets, 2 stainless shanks, 2 pin lock 5 gallon corney kegs, 10# CO2 tank with regulator, and beer and gas lines. This is 100% functional and ready to go (I have not tested the ice maker as I never had a water line available)...

    Info on Red Star yeasts?

    I am using Côte Des Blancs for the first time and am having trouble finding information on the alcohol tolerance. Their website (at peast the one I found) seems to be exclusively for baking yeast. Anyone know how to get info on their alcohol yeast? Thanks for any help

    We seem to have a major spammer

    Anyone else notice that the fermentation and yeast section and at least one other are overwhelmed with some asian spam?

    Source for TC sock screen gaskets?

    That is basically what I am making, except I am using a sight glass so I can see when it is getting full. I'm planning to use it as an inline filter before my pump. Unfortunately that is almost exactly what I had to make. I ended up ordering a flat TC screen gasket. Thanks for the heads up though.

    Did I ruin my chest freezer?

    Finally got around to messing with it. Compressor does turn on. No clicking like it is cycling on and off. Just a steady hum. Ran it for about 4 hours today and the compressor got very warm (not too hot to touch though). The temp inside went down 4 degrees in as many hours. never heard it...

    Source for TC sock screen gaskets?

    I'm looking fir a TC sock screen, 1.5" TC fitting, 3-6" length screen. Been able to find a reasonable price ~$40, but not as fine as I want. Or as fine as I want, but crazy expensive ~$150. I'm wanting 30-50 mesh or 300-600 micron. If anyone knows where I can find this without breaking the bank...

    Diy stir plate issue

    Does this mean that the magnet (if only using one) must be longer than the stir bar? Or if using 2 magenets should have them toward the edge of the fan blades? I having trouble picturing what you described, but I feel like it is probably useful information and something I would like to understand.
