Cellulose ethanol is a thing, it's just harder and more expensive to make than the stuff from from corn grain.

This seems too easy. I'd rather test my gynecological skills by trying to clean a 6 gallon carboy through a 2" opening. And then getting myself all wet in the process. Seriuosly though, I'm due for some brewing soon. Eliminating the carboys from my process would save a bit of time and a fair...

It's okay beer. If it was available outside of Wisconsin, people wouldn't think so highly of it. And I'm pretty sure that dude is bootlegging, and probably won't end well for him.

I've always thought Budweiser is very underrated. I mean, it's not the best beer ever made. And it's not real hoppy. But it isn't supposed to be. For what it is and what it's supposed to be, it's a good beer.

I'm 38 and I very much remember diskettes, both the 5.25 and 3.5 ones. We had the Radioshack TRS 80 of some sort. No cassette, but two floppy disk drives. My dad got me a ZIP drive for Christmas while I was in college. Still one of my best presents ever received. He even splurged and got me...

I'm a pretty pedantic fellow, but I did not know this. I'll add it to my list!

I don't mind the tomato soup, like once or twice a year. But these girls could eat it once a week. :ban:

Is this your main kitchen or your brewing kitchen? Or both? Either way, it looks amazing. I just recently embraced the unistrut in my shop area, and really dig it.

I freaking love soup. I lived on Campbell's Chunky in college. Or for at least 4 or 5 meals a week. I still love Campbells, but we make our own too. I made clam chowder last fall that was amazing. Often times make chili, and more of the noodly kinds occasionally (Ramen and such). Both of...

Does anybody else on here make eggnog? I tried my hand at it in 2019, using Alton Brown's recipe. https://altonbrown.com/recipes/aged-eggnog/ Basically a dozen egg yolks, a pound of sugar, a bunch of dairy and a bunch of alcohol. :cool: The raw egg thing is kinda weird, mentally, but it...

Looking good! When's the party?!? :D

That's my experience too. We have a nice wooded area behind our house. Usually catch one or two a week until Thanksgiving, then I'm good. I was catching 1 or 2 per day a couple weeks ago! I don't store any grains, but this is just general basementry things: Christmas lights, old clothes...

This reminds me to check my mash tun. I've had a helluva rodent problem in my basement this fall . . . :ghostly:

I use my IR gun for deep frying. The temperature isn't quite the same as if you read in the oil. And I figure brewing is the same. It's fine for ballpark, but not if a single degree or two matters.

Yeah the article I saw mentioned selling to Lion, which owns New Belgium. But the guy in charge of New Belgium with oversee Bells as well.

I have a few Thermapens for grilling/smokling and use it for brewing as well. Big fan.

I see a Monkey. It must mean Austin, TX, University of Texas

So my father-in-law gave me his old wine kit this spring and my parents had a crapload of cherries so I tried my hand at making Cherry wine. I followed this thread and the recipe from the book, which were pretty similar. But I did a primary and secondary and just bottled a week or two ago...
