No, I can't afford it. That's why I got into homebrewing.

I've been trying the same thing. A simple 2.5 gallon APA recipe. So far I've done Simcoe and Columbus. I have Hallertauer and Tetnanger almost ready to bottle. I chose the hops based on their essential oil profiles Simcoe - high percentage of myrcene Columbus - high percentage of...

I would try to go to Giant's Causeway, but I'm a geology buff.

Was that after the expensive bourbon?

7 years with the Cavs... longer than my marriage :(

I'd tell you, but it's so good that I don't want anyone to take it before I could use it :) I'll give you a hint - it's the same name I'd use for a rock band if I ever started one.

Is the sulfate addition to enhance bitterness? Make your additions to only part of your batch, then you can compare and judge for yourself.

my 2 cents: 1 - Cleaning and sanitizing should be good enough, as long everything gets cleaned out of the bottle. But if the bottle had something really gross in it like mold or a cigarette butt, I'd soak it with some bleach after cleaning. That's what I did - no problems yet. 2 - Soap will...

I like to keep it simple. I used a few cardboard boxes, some wood glue I already had, a roll of duct tape and a roll of R-14 fiberglass insulation - less than $14 total. It holds 2 fermentation buckets (and stores my gear when I'm not fermenting). I have 2 frozen water filled 2 liter bottles I...

Plastic soda bottles can be used, but not recommended for long storage. They are gas permeable. According to this article [ http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=351 ] they have a 10% carbonation loss in less than 50 days. This data doesn't make sense to me because soda seems to not have...

Recently, I made a couple of 2.5 gallon test batches (same recipes except different hops). I steeped 0.125 lbs of Breiss dextrin malt in each. That would have been 0.25 lbs for a 5 gallon batch. I could really see a difference between these batches and previous ones where I did not use...

I doesn't even have to be all that cold to help. I skipped the secondary on my last 2 batches and they are the clearest batches I've made so far. I did 2 smaller batches simultaneously, so I used my carboy as one of the primaries. I'm using a cardboard box lined with insulation as a...

I did the freezing water in a ziploc technique last week and it worked great. I used sanitized bags and put them in a sanitized food storage container before freezing because I was worried about them leaking or picking up microbes. My tap water is pretty cool, about 60°F, so this worked well...

Hey, what works for you may not work for others (particularly if you have a LHBS that sells bulk LME by the pound). I you can't understand that then you'll never understand things like how Michael Jackson sold all those albums or why people use Twitter.
