Yep every German I've seen subjected to our BMC beers says the same thing "this is like piss water" seriously I've heard this basic insult at least a dozen times over the years. So far the only German other than me (well I'm half) to try my brews (a stout) said that it was a lot thicker and...

My only AG so far is already a memory and it's a legend in my own mind :) I was drinking a Yeti tonight and was thinking to myself "self, that imperial stout you made was really more fun to drink than this". I have a real hard time hitting a boil on my stove so until I get a better setup...

I wonder how just a handful thrown into the must would turn out. Someone needs to do this, for SCIENCE!

I'm finding no matter how young or rough, just mix it with some sprite, throw in some ice and make a girlie drink out of it (apologies to any women reading this).

My first apple wine was around 1.110 or thereabouts, ended up below 1.000 and around 15 or 16% it was fine, aged it a few months and drank it up faster than I should have :D I love it carbed (tap a draft here) and mixed with a little Sprite and a couple ice cubes, When you throw in the sprite...

So I had my wife print out the printable caps and get out her address book and send in one of these for me, my sis, her brother, each of our mothers, and a friend of hers from work. I'll get the one from her mom and my mom and probably my sis :) I need a set of 4!

I left it in primary about 3 months, put it in my TaD and carbed it, then drank it mixed about 2 parts wine to 1 part sprite and it was so damned good. Immediately made another 5 gallons, I'm down to my last TaD of THAT batch, got a 3 gal batch working now with some black bananas I pureed and...

I used plain old sugar too and it fermented to below 1.0 using lavlin 1118 and an OG of over 1.1 (yes it was STRONG)

Me either, but I was about a 6 pack of homebrew deep into my evening and I was kinda remembering that blackmail thread and was like "wonder if they read the comments" so now, instead of out and out blackmail "gimme free stuff or else" I figured a good natured "man I really wish I had some...

No but I do remember that thread :) I actually forgot about putting that in the comments, side effect of ordering in the evening after enjoying a few homebrews!

I was tempted to keep this to myself but nah, here goes! I ordered my next few brew kits from NB last week. In the "order comments" I put something like "I sure wish I had more Northernbrewer glasses in my collection, hint, hint" So I got my order in yesterday and they'd put 2 of their...

Sweet, I actually like Newcastle, I bought several six packs of it because I wanted some clear bottles and they were the only ones I saw (that also had what I hoped was decent beer in them).

This stuff is addicting in a way beer never was :) Even my non drinker SWMBO asks me to make her a "apple wine and sprite" sometimes :ban:

Did you stir that stuff up SUPER DUPER well? My first guess is your stuff wasn't mixed perfectly. I've had that before in wort, hydrometer reading from the spigot on the bottom = 1.065 a dropper reading from the top for my refractometer = 1.044, gave it a vicious stirring and it read around...

I've made about 4 beer breads now, my first was with a black IPA I made and damn it was too hoppy. The rest have been awesome though, here's my basic recipe: 3 cups all purpose flour (whole wheat, rye substitute at your whim) 12 oz beer (sweeter maltier less hoppy is my recommendation, brown...

I'm not a hophead but I made the black ipa from NB (extract + specialty) and I really enjoy it, down to my last 6 pack now. It's more mellow now that's been the bottle a couple months (yeah too long for an IPA but I don't really mind the mellowing of the hops, not being a hophead).

My first 3 gallon batch is long gone, I put my 2nd 5 gallon batch into 3 T-a-Draft bottles yesterday, put one in the fridge and pressurized it tonight. This stuff is just divine mixed 50/50 with Sprite even my non drinker wife will drink some of this.

My best lacing and head I've had yet on a beer is a NB Black IPA I made: Just had to share cause I sure like this beer despite not usually being a big hop lover usually.

If you're too drunk to pour, you're too drunk to drink, that's about the only rule I have :D

Let's just say, despite popular myth, mason jar lids + alcohol = not good for long term. Of course apfelwein may not rot out a lid as quick as the alcohol people typically store in jars. If you just happen to have the mason jars around then sure but, to buy them you're much cheaper off just...
