I'm sure you will be fine. I buy LME from a local home brew shop. It is poured out of a big vat that lets air in as it pours out.

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm a bit of a noob, and also have never heard to add LME at the end to aid in Hop utilization. I'm not sure about the size Muntons LME comes in. I ended up bastardizing the recipe because of the ingredients at my LHBS. I ended up using all LME and it was not...

Just retread the directions. 1.45 lbs of Muntons Light DME added after steeping grains 4 lbs of Muntons Light LME added with 15 minutes left in boil Seams odd

I purchased a magazine with a bunch of clone recipes on the weekend. I spent 7 years in Bath England and miss my English ales. In the mag there is a recipe for Fullers ESB which interests me. The recipe calls for a mix of LME and DME of the same style. Is there a good reason for this? Why...

I'm In!

I found this a while back. Worth a read. I made the wine to have something to drink while I was waiting for a kit to age. It was not bad considering the cost. It probably would have gotten a bit better with age...

I've been searching around for some good threads on using oak barrels. There does not appear to be much out there. I was just given a 5 gallon french oak barrel for my 40th birthday present. I've got a wine kit in primary and can't wait to try this out. Does anyone know of a good...

I just started some cider with a Belgian ale yeast. My last batch was with a champagne yeast and I think it just went super dry. I did not take OG readings. I think I should have. My first batch was with wild yeast and it turned out great. Hence I did not bother with the OG reading the last two...

Options and prices please. Never participated in group buy. Assume a single set collection date and location.

I'm interested in future group buys. What is the best way to find them. Boulder based. Are there group buys on yeast?

Mine looks 20 years old. I tried it out and it did boil water. I only boiled a small amount to see if it worked. Perhaps I could use it to heat water for after my steeping grains finish. Would save a bit of time.

What's your offer. I'm flying from DIA Sunday - perhaps we could meet somewhere agreeable. I live north east of Boulder

I really need to start taking notes. I did cold crash before kegging. A lot of the hops fell out before I kegged, but I did have hop particles in the keg. More fell out in the keg, but my first few pints were more hazy. It tasted great so I did not mind. The later pints were clearer. I tend to...

I have only dry hopped twice. It was the same S.N. clone. I added the pellet hops to secondary each time. Once directly and once using a hop bag. I swear the hop bag version did not pick up as much hop aroma /flavor. Any thoughts. I am bad at taking notes, but I'm pretty sure I left the hops in...

I'm all about local but dont want to pay a fortune. Just learned that I can rent a press and that some kind folks post free apples on Craig's list. There are a ton of apple trees in town. Let me know if u want to share cost of renting an apple press. Think it is 25 per day.

Thanks for the resources. I started a batch with store bought cider on the weekend. Will try and find a local ish orchard that has a press. I'm not ready to invest in one just yet. There is a pick ur own pretty close

Thanks. There a lot of super organic stores in town. I remember looking at one of these score before and the cost same excessive. I guess its time for another look. Thanks for the thoughts on other additions.

Living in Boulder, CO and the wife wants me to make some cider, i do beer. Are there any places to buy fresh pressed juice? or is there a grocery store that sells juice without preservatives. Thanks

It holds water and heat... as well as plastic bucket can. I guess the thermostat would kick the heating element on if the temp got below x temp. The thermostat is a 1 to 10 dial so I would need to learn how it works. After learning that it worked, I was thinking I could use it to heat water...
