I'm the furthest thing from a pessimist, but I doubt an ice chest can withstand that much pressure. And if you managed to seal it that well, I bet the walls would bend (thus increasing the volume) thus lowering the pressure acting on the fluid. You are much better off buying/harvesting bottles...

Sorry lots of people are being rude to you. I know how it can be spending 30 minutes looking up something when someone could just spend a minute or two of their time to save you a ton. Anyhow, please don't add 1.5 lbs of dextrose to your fluid. You will highly likely have bottle bombs. The rule...

It'll be just fine if you use a starter... that said, the fact that they didn't offer a discount on it means crappy business practices. I'd drop my LBHS like a hat if they treated me like that... just my 2 cents.

What have you had from Jester King or Prarie so far? Sounds like you've had their run of the mill beers, not their limited release stuff....

I don't mind Petrus. However, after having tried many other sours in the last year, I have come to find Petrus to aire on the sweet side. Too much so for my liking.

I'm going to Jester King this weekend to pick up some beer for another fellow HBT'er. I'm also shipping those beers. One package or two packages almost the same work/effort. This is what they have this weekend. Hibernal Dichotomous Funk Metal Boxer's Revenge RU55 Das Wunderkind PM me if you...

I grew up in Houston and still visit monthly. My personal favorite is Hay Merchant. Hay Merchant 1100 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX (713) 528-9805 http://binged.it/1n90i2A Absolutely great selection and rare beers are often available. And to top it off their prices are better than reasonable...

I see your angle OP... but I feel like artisan is a little over the top. Sounds arrogant.

I thought someone had past away and you wanted to enter his beers into a competition in his honor... oops.

About to PM you. Don't drink the bottle until you are ready to use them. Or you could make a starter and toss them into that with an airlock. Freezing the fruits causes the cell walls to burst which means that the yeast and bacteria will have a much easier time breaking down the fruit for food.

Yeah, it was, and sorry about making you look like a liar haha. I edited the post and was working on the reply as ya'll kept talking. So I have done more research and it seems that sach getting eaten isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least it isn't as long as the sach had enough time to work...

I know! That's why it costs $16 per 500 ml (17 oz) bottle! I removed the recipe numbers I posted because I forgot to take this into consideration. I'm not sure, but I'm sure it isn't negligible! I know that they use all kinds for different beers. They only use used barrels because they can...

I suggest real fruit. 2 lbs per gallon for strong flavor 1.5 lbs per gallon for medium flavor 1 lbs per gallon for subtle flavor Freeze the fruit before you add it (to burst the cell walls). Make your beer first like you would if you weren't adding fruit. When you add it frozen, (if it...

I think ending at "40 +" leaves alot of differentiation out.

Didn't see voting bar at the top... Idk how to delete messages.

Most beers from Jester King utilize the same yeast. I'm quite confident that the Cerveza de Tempranillo and RU55 contain the same yeasties/bugs. I'm not sure about Fonteinen Oude Kriek, but I'd figure that they(yeasties/bugs) will all flourish as soon as you feed them some wort! Should make...

I find that vodka smells like vomit... not because it does but because I had a little too much a few months ago (if you know what I mean). Have you had to much beer at any recent point in time? ;P
