It's been a while since I tried a fruit flavoring. Was never pleased with them. They taste fake.

That'll teach him!

I've only done a one gallon batch to see how it gose. I used sea salt, coriander, acid malt, a safale US06 yeast. This gave me that salty somewhat sour taste. The coriander went well with it. I don't think I wrote down any quantities.

You want a plastic boil kettle. So much cheaper and lighter. Especially with 30+ pounds of strike water or wort in it. Butt cerealy. I've both glass and plastic fermenters. Glass will last forever or until you break it. Plastic will last for years so long as you don't clean it with a wire...

I don't use a pot. BIAB. Brew in a bottle.

I like having a propane burner. Beer, fried turkey, crawfish, stir fry. So versatile.

Magnets. How do they work?

We've had two frosts. The hops are put to bed under cypress mulch.

Commercial beer? You mean research material.

Stop drinking aftershave! I need to go through my hb hoard. There's some meads in there ready to drink. A few bottles of this and that which should be drank. Got a stout in ferment now.

I only drink beer I brew myself from wheat I grow myself in soil I create myself.

Brew it! Rehydrate that yeast beforehand and have a fresh pack ready just in case.

I too have a FastFerment. Just yesterday I had to work the ball valve back and forth to clear it so the trub would flow to the bowl. I had not left it open during the initial ferment figuring I wanted to ferment on everything and with everything in the main vessel. In previous brews, I've had...

I like Pabst. Just because some dirty hipsters have tried to subvert it to their ill ways doesn't mean it's suddenly a bad beer. But when your brewery depends entirely on another brewery brewing your brew- that's a failure in the making.

Just show up already plastered on your choice of beverage. Be so drunk that no one will offer you a beer. That's triple winning.

The taxi!

Secondary or die!

Something snipped off Hops 1 at the ground. Since I didn't trim any this being the first year for these, the largest secondary bine has taken over the lead nicely.

Midwest says they can be stored in a damp baggie in the fridge for a few months. I'd put a paper towel in with them and change it regularly to avoid mold. I've received hop rhizomes four times. Three in damp baggies. Two grew. One had mold and did not. My first ever was mostly dried out in a...
