Maaaan... Of only swmbo hadn't taken inventory yesterday! You'll get it. As its been said "the sharks are circling"

I'm back with an update and a photo! I forgot to take a photo of my batch sitting on the blackberries/vanilla/cocoa, but attached you'll see a photo of the batch that sat on oak/coffee/cocoa/vanilla. Blackberry/cocoa/vanilla: This beer was the least favorite of the two. Aroma was spot on...

if you check out the thread, I posted the ebay handle of a guys I purchased it from. he digs it up to order and will even clean and cut it up for you. PM me if you need a link, etc. Im too toasted right now to look for it. :mug:

Back to life! How about some Vietnamese Speedway? Bruery White Chocolate? Black Tuesday? Duck Duck Gooze? Hit me up and lets make this trade happen!

Check out the recipe by Crazy8. I made his recipe but substituted with fresh sassafras roots. Came out great except for a few tweaks. Gluck!

In my experience with backsweetened Apfelwein, it kills the sweetness just a TAD. I'd say the difference in flavor (for apfelwein) if equivalent to an additional month of aging as far as change in taste. Does that even make sense? lol I'll report back on the root beer.

It'll clear up in a few days. If not, like above, just cold crash. Mine's still not carb'd although it is pretty high octane. Tastes great though! I'm going to put a few grains of yeast in the bottles when I get home today and pasteurize when my PET bottle gets hard as a rock! Cheers!

I agree with this. I finished Papazian and I'm jumping into radical brewing. Although I'm doing into Palmer's book simultaneously.

Feel free to lock this thread. I've gotten my usefulness out of it.

Have to put this on the back burner for a few weeks. I forgot about a state board exam that I have coming up. 'DOH! See you guys on the flip side

This is definitely another good one.

I got offered a CBS for my DDG. I guess my next question is, was CBS worth the hype to anyone that had it? What would it compare to? Thanks everyone for chiming in with your feedback.

He asked if I'd like anything else for it. (who would say no?) but I dont want to inadvertently go overboard and gouge him. Here's what I know: DDG released at about $40 + fees retail and CBS sold for $18 retail. CBS had a huge markup in some places, upwards of $40.

Is this an even trade? I got an offer for this trade. What do you all think?

I thoroughly enjoyed this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060531053/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

You should be able to scale it straight out add far add I know. I've made 1 gal, 3 gal and didn't notice much difference. Only differences from my addition of wintergreen which I'm going to put in right at the end from now on.

I'm fairly new to kegging as well... Don't mean to thread jack but once dispensing ifs done for the night or the "session" do you leave it at the low pressure or do you take it back up to the level you force carbd at? Any tricks to this?

Nice, I'm glad it turned out well! I'll definitely be posting on my progress. Thanks again, I'm really looking forward to this

I used oxiclean for a while. I prefer the ease of use with PBW. For me the convenience is worth forgoing the savings. Plus, if I get lazy and do an extended soak, no chalky residue to rinse with vinegar.
