not sure how much they are at you LBHS but at mine they're 5 bucks for a triple scale. Moments after buying my first one i took it out to look at it, then went to grab a few beer bottles with the same hand. I'm not sure why I thought this would work but the end result was a broken hydrometer, a...

You probably got a keg that was used for root beer. They can be a PITA to clean. I use Mcd Sanitizer. You can't buy it but you can get it from someone who works at McDonald's. Just be careful what you use as some cleaners corrode stainless steel.

Wedding went great! A ton of people came. Now its off to a cabin in the woods for a few days. P.S. I'll have wireless internet where i'm going so im taking my laptop with me. Doubt I'll have time for it though ll.

I just read that sorghum is used as a gluten free alternative in beer to replace malt so i could use it in its place. I think ill try it. It's sort of like LME. There's a sorghum farm near by and i can get the stuff for 6 bucks a gallon. Should make a good experiment :D

If you wanna make some cider/wine I HIGHLY suggest you make a batch of edworts apfelwein. It crazy simple and not expensive at all. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/man-i-love-apfelwein-14860/ :mug: :mug: :mug: :mug:

Yep, its called hopped malt extract. My Local Home Brew Supply sells it for around 15 bucks depending on the type. Just boil water, add hopped malt, wait for it to cool, put it in a fermentor, add a $1 packet of munton ale yeast, and wait.

You cannot control its growing indoors. If you try to start indoors to early it will grow out of control and you will screw up the plants natural clock that tells it when to go dormant, when to grow, and when to produce flowers. Like previous members have stated, you cannot buy the rhizomes...

just spray your grapes with some sort of animal repellent and forget about it until they're ready for harvest.

Aren't Alot and A lot both considered proper spellings of the word now according to The Modern Language Association?

You can also use engine enamel. We sell it at work and it is made to withstand the heat incurred by red hot headers so i dont think a propane burner is gonna be a problem. You have alot more colors to choose from as well.

Okay, I know that this is way off topic but I just figured I'd tell everybody. Don't know why but I just feel like telling everybody. Wish me good luck!!! :mug:

I make my own wheat malt. It's really very simple if you know what you're doing. I have pictures posted of all the different stages and processes on my profile. I buy the wheat at my local feed store. I can buy a 50 pound bag for $7.00. Just make absolutely certain you buy NON-TREATED GRAIN...

9,501 + my first 5 equal 9,506! Thats gotta be some kind of record.

Just put my first 5 gallons in the carboy. Looking forward to it! Btw, I bought 5 gallons of Kroger brand natural apple juice in two quart bottles at Kroger. They were 10 for 10 so if you have a local Kroger see if they're offering the same deal. 5 Gallons of apple juice = $10.00 2 Pounds of...

A coffee grinder would be the easiest but if you do not have one you have a few different options. You could use a mortar and pestle like they did in the olde days. You could also use a rolling pin however this isn't very efficient. Probably the least labor intensive option though would be to...

How exactly?

Try bullion. If you can find them.

Ok, I'm looking into making mead and i started thinking. What if one were to substitute the honey for sorghum or molasses? Has any one here ever tried this?

Thanks guys. This helps me quite a bit. Also, I was browsing the other day looking to buy some more kegs and ran into anther brand. Spartanburg kegs? has anyone heard of these before? The lid and disconnects look the same but it is all stainless and looks more aesthetically pleasing in my opinion.

Ok, I just bought 2 5 gallon soda kegs. The guy told me that i would either get Cornelius or Firestone kegs. Other than the name what is the difference? How do i tell which one i have? I know they both look similar. is one better quality? different fittings? I ave no idea:confused:
