heading that way in the morning then, thanks for the find!!!

I think that's what happened with the yeast, I soaked the wood chips in a pint of the rum and then just dumped the whole thing in. Now that I have gone back and read some more people say to strain out the chips.

So i cracked one of mine the other day about a month after bottling and well i am not pleased:(. I added way to much rum to it so its over powering :smack:, its not carbed enough:confused:, and its very "thick" not like any beer i have ever had. My only option i can think of is to try and age it...

That would be a clover, I read afterwards that u should smash the raisins a bit so that's why they expanded

Sept 21, nailed it lol

Come on fruit, fall!!!!!!!!

I ripped out all the shelves and bent the freezer tray down (very carefully) against the back wall. Just waiting on a...

I just read the write up its six thanks

Is this for 5 gallon batches so a 6-6.5 gallon space

Brewing my first batch right now. Not set up for AG yet so had to go extract.
