    Consumer to Production

    Consumer to Production

    Fish Don't let the banter get to you we are for the most part one big (albeit slightly disfunctional) family. :D Let me try to get to the point of most of the chatter and compare it to fishing (maybe another of your hobbies) 1) The levels you say you want to produce are illegal. not...

    Names of some horrible movies needed

    OMEGA MAN..... Blasphemy!!!!! :D But it did get me thinking. All the planet of the apes (originals) Soylant Green Boy when you get to thinking about some of the movies Charlton Heston made kinda averages out the whole 10 comadments, Ben Hur kinda thing :D Don't forget Vincent Price...

    bottle caps

    If it rusts around the gasket it will leak and the beer will not carb. Not worth taking the chance using rusted ones vs the price of caps.

    Pros and Cons of fermenting in Plastic 5 Gallon Water Cooler Jugs?

    I use a 4 gallon water bottle from Sam's Club for Apfelwein it is #1 type plastic and was less than 5 bucks full of spring water (used it to make beer). It is thinner than a better bottle but it works and keeps my regular fermenters free to let my apfelwein age longer.

    Can Apfelwein tolerate outdoor temps?

    Smells like rhino farts to me :D. it will pass in a couple of days as the fermentation slows. I don't think you need to worry about exposure to sunlight as there are no hops. red star site says temp range is 59F to 95F.

    Has anyone turned a glass carboy into a fish tank?

    I did this years ago with a 5 gal plastic water bottle, we had been usig as a penny bank. I put a goldfish in it that my daughter won at the state fair, figuring it would only live a few days. About 3 years later it went belly up and had grown to large to fit out the top. let's just say it was...

    The consequence of idiot drivers

    If You are unable to brew for 6 weeks the Pain and Suffering settlement should be substantial :D. I bet that with all that time to think about it you will figure a way to brew. I shot a deer several years ago with a broken wrist (after falling from a tree stand) neccessity is the mother of...

    Plastic water bottles for carboy?

    You will be fine as long as the they are type 1 or 2 plastic. You could also use to make apfelwein as it doesent form a krausen with the wine yeast.

    Brewpastor's Coldroom Build

    I live in central nc where, 90 plus dgrees and 90% humidity is the norm all summer, and the vapor barrier ( plastic or kraft backed paper) is required on the conditioned side of the wall. My understanding is that is why you need a vapor barrier with a lower perm rating on the exterior...

    Brewpastor's Coldroom Build

    Going back to page one and the insulation facing. In home building the term used to decide which way the vapor barrier faces is conditioned space so the barrier would face insde. If you use a vapor barrier on the unconditioned side it will trap moisture and cause mold. That is why the new...

    Corona bottle labels

    I have cleaned off several corona bottles to use with apfelwein. Starsan, mix at double strength, soak for 6 to 12 hours let dry and most of the paint will wipe off the rest (usually only a chip or 2 ) will come off with a srubbie pad or just soak again for an hour or 2 and let dry and wipe off...
