I used a pack a couple of weeks ago in a strawberry blonde, on the suggestion of my LHBS. I had moved the beer to my bottling bucket and was not happy with the clarity and still had some fruit pulp in it. I added the super kleer waited 48 hrs and the beer was very clear and almost all the pulp...

The SWMBO got carded a year or so ago (I will not post her age on the internet I like being married) at food lion and she ran around the counter and hugged the cashier and told them they had made her day.

I believe crimson clover fixes nitrogen in the soil (legume?) so it would be benficial next year. We just cover with a deep bed of leaf mulch, and lime and till in next spring. but with the dense clay soil we have we need the composted material to losen the soil.

Thanks Hang Glider and Knappster, what you listed is about what I had in mind. Some form of fermentation chiller is on the horizon Knappster but I am allready straining my 1 circuit I have in the Garage with my finished beer fridge and deep freezer for food. So a low tech version will have to...

Hang Glider, I have the same conditions in my garage. I have been keeping my fermenters inside my house, but I have realized that is not good enough especially with trying to cut back the ac to save money. SWMBO says if I need a swamp cooler it needs to go in the garage how often are you...

My bil was clearing his lot and threw a small rotten stump into the dump truck. As the stump hit and rolled over he saw a nest about half the size of a basket ball on the stump. The other half of the nest was still in the ground. The Yellow jackets chased him about 300 yards before he jumped in...

Dang, and just when I thought I had an new idea to post on the board. I was at Sam's Club and saw the bottled water and thought Hmm I need water for my next brew, and that container would look good with 4 gals of Edworts headache juice in it. The bottle I got even advertises BPA free. I don't...

Most home inspectors are checking for them to be installed, and some local jurisdictions in NC are requiring them to be properly installed prior to issuing a certificate of occupancy on a new home. Its not in the residential code here yet but they can require it because the manufacturer shows it...

I used frozen stawberries in my blonde. If you use them be sure they contain no preservatives and are pasturized I could not find where mine listed they were pasturized on the container so I added a small amount of water and heated to 160 for 10 minutes. +1 on adding to the secondary this...

Thanks for the replies guys.

I have been reading a thread from last year about partial vs full boils and I think I understand that If you are doing a partial boil (2.5 gals) that you will only net Approx 1/2 the Ibu's from your hops. I have been working on my first recipe using beersmith and i noticed you can change the...

Daqatris, I think the linked recipe is for 10 gals

Man You are quick thanks for the reply. The kit contained a US 05 american ale yeast. I have been considering getting another bucket to use as a secondary anyway, as my next attempt is going to be a strawberry ale and I think i would rather add the fruit during the settling stage. I like the...

First of all I have been lurking on the board for a while and enjoy all the help and antics of this group. I said I would wait until I had something meaningful to say before posting but alas I am a noob and must ask the obligatory dumb noob question. I have made several all extract...
