(Still in diapers when it comes to brewing... with that said). I put labels on anything that I brew over 2 1/2 gallons, or a case worth. Then I put a label on no more than 6, mainly for when I take it to a friend's house. Otherwise, I throw a label on the box holding the bottles, and rotate cap...

Operation 'I need more bottles emptied' is underway... Fyre Red (irish red) and Bavarian Wheat

My Farmhouse Ale. Came out a little darker than anticipated, but otherwise it's good :D (Even if it is in my funky bottom glass)

Hoping to brew up a Brown Ale (2 1/2 gallons) tomorrow and maybe something on Monday though undecided as to just what yet.

Temptd2, Yeah that makes me like that too. Hopefully someday. I do brew the occasional 1-gallon brew when he is here, then afterwords use some of the leftover yeast to do some homemade root beer together. It does help, looking up recipes, brewing, and the like makes the week go faster.

Brewing for me is stress relief. Generally I only boil when my son (5 years old) is at his mom's for the week. When he is there I am stressed because he doesn't want to be there. So I brew whenever I can to not think about anything else for those handful of hours. I even find cleaning bottles...

Very nice. I made the decision this year as a memorial to my twin sons (would have been 7 years old at the end of the month) to brew up some beers. Hoping it takes some sting off of it, even all these years later. You will have to post a pic when it is drinkable and we can all share a toast!

My thoughts are with you. Definitely sounds like a good idea to keep busy and also to name the first brew after her.

Awesome to hear and you are quite welcome!!

Long Trail. Long story, but they will always be my favorite brewery for what they did for me and my family (and community) after Hurricane Irene. Plus I'm really digging their Ramble (Kolsch) brew.

Labels for my next batch of brews. (ABV and IBU's are only filler right now until I can finalize everything). Trying to figure out how to make it able to do the brews so it can be consumed as a Black & Tan if wanted.

I have a friend that loves the honey from here (http://www.beefolks.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=29&cat=Orange+Blossom+Honey) Not sure how the prices compare as I have not purchased any honey in years.

31 and it was an epic failure... because at the time I was given a kit for an IPA and had no clue what an IPA was. I thought the beer was horrible compared to the 'on the shelf' beers. fast forward 12 years and I have rediscovered my love of the creation of beers and wines. I love making...

I really like that one Webster!

I brew 1 and 5 gallon batches. I love 1 gallon batches for the fact I can try something stupid like a Wintergreen Stout. (not for drinking, but for dessert making). If I find a 1 gallon I really like, I make it in a 5 gallon batch. I 7 1-gallon carboys at my apartment. On the weeks I do not...

I'll be in the area of the brewery tomorrow so if I can find one I'll grab it and let you know.

I'll take a look around and see if I can find a can for you.
