Nope. That would be making vodka. I'm wanting to know if anybody has ever tried to add hop flavor to a regular bottle of Kettle One that you buy from the liquor store. If you're not big on the idea, just say you think it wouldn't be very good. Or looking for people who think it would. Just...

This may sound kinda gross to some of you, but has anyone on here ever heard of a hop flavored vodka? I was thinking commercially available or made by you? I thoroughly love hops, and sometimes I've had IPAs so strong, you'd think you're drinking grain alcohol with a little malt and a whole...

I've seen a couple of you mention heating up sugar or adding citric acid to it to invert it. Can you give me a little more info on that, or point me in the right direction? I don't wanna screw this up. Thanks.

All by my lonesome on Thursday, so I'm brewing two brews: an American Amber Ale and a heavy Trappist style beer.

Thanks again. I've not got an exact recipe that I'm looking at but I appreciate the help. I'm going to guess that 1 pound of rock candy is in a 5 gallon batch, right? I think I'll check some of those Chimay recipes. Every thanksgiving I partake in a bottle to help the turkey go down. Thanks.

Today at the store I came across the different types of brewing sugar available at my local brew store. I know that the different Abbeys and some of the craft companies use different types of sugar adjuncts and I'm curious as to what or how much should be used. Two of the sugars that I saw...

Thanks for the tips and info. Just trying to get an idea as to what it would be for the label. BobNQ3X, the acids in the Czech Saaz are 3.0% and the acids in the Cascade are 5.9%. Thanks.

I went to the brew store looking to buy stuff for an extract version of Bee Cave Pale Ale but found that they didn't have Munich extract. Instead I got Amber. They also were low on Cascade hops, so I got the last of them and some Saaz. I also got one pound of crushed Crystal 10. So here's my...

I've been doing some research on different adjuncts over the past couple of weeks and have a couple questions about brewing with corn in my Pilseners. First, does corn impart a large flavor in the finished beer? Second, what percentage of corn is generally acceptable? Third, do most...

I lost an arm to a bottle bomb once... ...Not really. I've actually tried to create a bomb out of two or three of my different batches using 2 or even 3 times the priming sugar recommend as a test. I wrapped those bottles in a plastic baggy, inside a towel, inside another baggy. Other than...

One other thing. First time I had an infection, I siphoned all of my beer into a 5 gallon pot, put the lid on and boiled for about 5 minutes. After it finished I added 2 pounds of dry malt extract and repitched some more yeast (as the boiling kills the yeast). It then set for another week. I...

Sorry about the possible infection. I recently had stout that got Acetobacter and after bottling underneath it you could barely taste any difference. To answer your question on how to bottle it, try a racking cane (NORTHERN BREWER: Siphoning Equipment), which is a hard rigid L shape piece of...

Sweet. Thanks so much for the encouragement! Smells wonderful!

Excellent, so I'll use a little more. Anybody use Saaz in their Pilsners?

My LBS gave me whole hop leaves instead of pellets. Do I use these in the same way I would pellets, gram per gram? Any ideas? In a middle of a batch and appreciate the help.

As I start to work with different flavors and with different amounts of sweetness in my wines, I'm where on the hydrometer (final gravity) different, finished, drinks would end up. Do any of you know what the following drink's final gravities would come close too? -Dry Red Wine (Cabernet...

Thanks for the info and tips. I was looking through the other boards and read about root beer and other sodas. Quick question, if I left these cold, after building some carbonation in the bottle for a couple of weeks, would that stop fermentation? If so, are there any other issues I'd have to...

I've been brewing and wine making for a little bit now and have recently talked my wife into helping me with my (addiction) hobby. She's not a big fan of heavy wines or beers and likes sweeter, lighter, bubbly drinks and is a fan of drinks like Smirnoff and Zimas. She has recently come across...
