How would you get the beer out? And would you refrigerate it in the carboy? There's a fair amount of crap at the bottom of the carboy after a brew. And if you don't remove the beer you'll be drinking it too. I suppose you could rack to a secondary carboy and drink from that? But again...

My SWMBO doesn't like hoppy beers either. But likes beers that "taste like bread." How about a Mild or something along those lines? My wife also likes EdWort's Pale Ale on this site. American Pale Ale - Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale I'm drinking it right now and it's not hoppy at all, but...

So these beers have been in the keg for a couple weeks now and taste good., The Pliny Clone is okay, not super impressed. The Pale is as good as ever. I sprung for the Perlick Flow Controls but am still having foam issues. I have my psi at 12, which is probably at the high side for these...

I haven't a need for it inside my basemnt shop, but I had thought about some unistrut and a unistrut trolley. https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Unistrut-P2950-EG-Trolley-Assembly/dp/B00KN9UA0S And maybe a cheap hoist. You get get curved sections of unistrut and really could make a cool track...

Yeah I'm sure they haven't turned yet but I don't know if they'd taste good as pie. I might try testing a handful as pie filling just in case. Thanks for the advice.

I always wear my oldest, grungiest tennis shoes. They stay dry for the first few hours, but inevitably they get soaked. I'm a sloppy, sloppy brewer. No way I could ever do it inside! :ghostly:

Hey all, I wandered over here from the Beer side of the forums. :mug: So my family and I went and picked berries this weekend and picked a gallon of sour pie cherries. This was Saturday, and I made the mistake of rinsing them and laying them out to dry. So I thought. I put them back in...

I wouldn't want to use a hand truck like that to get a sloshing carboy down the stairs. So your hot tub area is 3 levels above ground? I'm a basement fermenter, but mine is a walkout, so I have no troubles.

I still like to hit breweries like that. But between lactose IPA's and pastry stouts, I try way less than I used to. Still fun to do, but I agree, it was more fun 10 years ago. (And I really like NEIPA's)

My favorite style is a DIPA. But I like the sweeter resin-y kinds, like Hopslam. I also like the super bitter ones, but not quite as much.

My sister buys a lot from Ali and it sounds like half the time she gets sent something different than what she ordered. Apparently that's part of the fun! I've only bought from there twice, and both times from a third party seller with a good rep from a forum.

I just a poor boy from a poor family. But whenever we'd need lots of ice for something, we'd use milk jugs. But in our prime growing up, my mom would buy 6 or 7 gallons of milk a week. So she had plenty of them lying around. Agree with the smaller chunks being better, but you're gonna want...

I always used to do two at a time, but after these two, I may go back to one at a time. I think I could get it done in a morning and not shoot the whole day! I was surprised how much of it "came back." I already am searching for the recipe for my next brew. And maybe the one after that!

Hey all! I just wanted to boast that I brewed this weekend for the first time since March of 2015! My first daughter was born in May of 2015 and then another one a few years later! So I took a day of free time this Saturday and brewed two 5-gallon batches. It'd been too long, so I'm sure I...

I started a batch over the weekend. My wife wasn't too keen on having to buy the 4.5 gallons of apple juice at Sams. But we'll see. I used brown sugar instead, and used an old brew bucket, as my fermentors were also being filled.

Well I put some of these in the middle of my boil on Saturday, just a Pale Ale. Sure didn't smell or taste like much, so I'm guessing they'll add zero to the beer. The beer is fermenting now, so time will tell!

I brewed this on Saturday. OG was a little low at 1.063. And I probably mashed a little high. But I've never had PTE so maybe I won't know any better? Either way, the warm, flat hydrometer sample was super bitter. I think in a good way?!?!

LOL. Aged hops. I like it :D I'm afraid to mess up these beers I've got planned. But I will try them in my next brew. I'm guessing that they'll add little to nothing to the beer.

Hello world! I'm ready to re-enter the Homebrewing world after a 5 year hiatus. My girls are starting to be able to give me some free time. And I have some extra free time now, it seems. :oops: I was cleaning out the beer/keg fridge to make keg space. And found I still have some hops from...

Way to make us all feel like lesser men. :D
