    Bottling in clear glass bottles, why?

    Seems like it was keystone, but that was a while back

    Time to learn

    I agree with Gold. No need to transfer beer. Wine on the other hand needs more time to clear and is usually transferred to a carboy.

    Pitched in cold temp

    Can you give it a shake or a stir ? Last week I had something that didnt want to start right away. On day 2, I gave it a good shake and it took off. Good luck

    Mini kegs

    I found 2 of these at a yard sale in Florida for a dollar. I never saw one that had a pumper on it like these. They are from Germany. I only use the little kegs once in a while so I have not messed with them. I was gonna take one apart to see if there was a way to put a co2 line on them, but...

    Ball Lock Posts, NPT or not?

    I have a real good supply house/hardware store near me. They have everything old and new and they could not get anything to adapt to those 19/32 fittings as in your second link. Without seeing the rest of your plan I hesitate to say, but I bet you are going to have to go with the NPT as in your...

    Mini kegs

    I take those little kegs with me when I meet friends at an annual camp party/float trip. They are easy to pack and fit in a cooler nicely. I dont have to take co2 tanks etc. At 13-14 beers they don't have time to go flat. They make little elctric cooler/ dispensers for them that you could adapt...

    Storing Barley Malt Extract?

    I would do as others suggested and use vacuum seal bags and then put the bags in 5 gallon buckets with a little desicant. I do this for all my prepping. I also use the lids that are hard as hell to open and close. I have a tool for them that helps. Those lids have good round seals that I take...

    Resurgence in homebrewing due to current events?

    I think it is true that "some companies" are overcharging consumers. Not all companies are as respectable as yours Sir.

    Affordable Can Seamer?!

    Good luck on your project. I agree with the above poster that says post more pics and hype it up. Personally I would not fill out a form for a quote. I'm stingy with my personal info unless I'm already commited to buy.

    Rinsing Sanitizer with Distilled Water

    I rarely use starsan, but when I do I rinse things with water that I have pre-boiled. I started using a hot water kettle recently for convenience. I would bet that distilled water would fine for rinsing also. I use the oven to sterilize bottles thus avoiding stuff I don't want or need in my brews.

    About to order a bunch of hop plants, need some guidance

    Good info. Thanks for posting this !

    About to order a bunch of hop plants, need some guidance

    If I lived in an area as cold as yours I would progressively add layers of straw over them until snow prevented me from adding more. I also would get it back off of them in a hurry in spring

    Rectify bread yeast mistake?

    ^Exactly. You know there are standards in place that keep it consistent. I'm not saying that bread yeast will ferment everything the same way as beer and wine yeast, but if it worked today and you liked the result, then I'd bet it would work just as well tomorrow.

    Rectify bread yeast mistake?

    If you are patient everything will clear on it's own. There is no going back now. I bet it will be fine. I once did an experiment with bread yeast and several fruit juices. They all fermented out and all were clear as could be. At least you know your must is fermenting and not sitting around...
