Just went to the asain market and got about 50 yeast balls for $4.99 and 5lbs of sushi rice for $6.99, plan on starting four cups of this tonight. Two things: 1) how can you possibly know the ABV on this? What makes you think it's around 20%? 2) I plan on using kmeta after 25-30 days to fully...

I hear it's sold out already.

He will only be allowed to brew it if this is playing in the brewery:

I use to work at a winery where we would ferment in 55 gallon plastic pickle barrels. The plastic was food grade and was fine to re-use after fermentation provided you properly cleaned and sanitized. For reference: http://ecovillagegreen.com/903/what-do-the-plastic-recycling-numbers-mean/ The...

Worse things than mice making into the fermenters of big winemaking companies (anything under $10 a bottle). Extra clean and sanitize, you'll be fine, no use wasting the glass.

Look around where you live for umm, low class Italian Restaurants. I found one around me that only poured Carlo Rossi wines by the glass and they would save me all of their empties. They would only go through maybe one or two a week, but that adds up in your collection over time.

I completely understand this. I volunteer for a local small brewing company and was seriously able to cancel my gym membership. Crawling in, under, around, over, and through fermenters, mash tuns, grates, silos, mills. Think cleaning at home is a pain, try doing it on a commercial scale. Hard...

EXCELLENT Report! Got a little technical for me (non-engineer/non-science guy), but I throughly enjoyed reading through it. I tried brewing Sake about three years ago and royally f*#$# it up. I messed up the koji growing part somehow, probably because I had no idea what I was doing. Thanks for...

Dragon's Milk is overpowering....:confused:

What part? I'm in NE Ohio as well.

I just always use the ratebeer ap...seems like it'll do the same thing...

I got one bottle today.

Additionally, find out if there is a local brewery around, if there is, go volunteer. You'll know right away if you really want to be crawling around in 120* boilers with scrub pads and stainless steel cleaners (some reason I find this fun).

Glad to hear you're ok, safety reminders cannot be underestimated.

Don't worry about volunteering for a small brewery. I currently volunteer at a local brewery which only has two full time employees, making 20-30bbl batches at a time. From what I've learned, brewers always love the help! There's always plenty of work to go around, and more times than not they...

Complain to the local BBB chapter in your area.

MSRP $85 for six bottles and two glasses. http://121212xii.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/hello-world/

Sadly, you're going to place in Ohio that's pretty much in the middle of nowhere. You'll be just north of Dayton, and just west of Columbus. If you have the time to spare, I highly recommend driving a little further east and get into the columbus area. Check out these places: Columbus: Brews...

Liability waivers don't mean anything. You need to file paperwork with the Secretary of State setting yourself up as a limited liability company (LLC). Attorney can do this quick and cheap. Call your local bar association.

Great deal, the only thing I want is that kettle...
