I am on midwestsupplies.com website and have a cart going trying to get back into brewing. I am going with the red tip bottle filler with the 5/16'' line as I do not want much spillage. Back in the old days, they sold these bottling buckets preassembled. Now you have to order each part...

Thanks guys. I have some PBW on order and will let you guys know. I'm almost certain it is a blemish and it should be fine, because I've already completely filled and cleaned the carboy 3 times.

Hey guys, I dumped some old loose change out of my old carboy and cleaned it. There is a spot inside of it that appears gray. I thought at first it was some type of gunk from having trashy coins inside. But I am baffled. If you scratch it on the outside, it is smooth. I tried scratching it out...

Back in 2007, I got into the hobby of homebrewing. I opened up a Home Brew Talk forum account, did hours of research, and ordered a starter kit from Midwest Supplies. I brewed two batches of beer and started on a Cider until I became disinterested and abandoned the hobby. Lately, I have been...

Thanks for the suggestions about the primary and secondary. I'll definitely check that book out over the holidays.

Hello, I am wanting to begin a Strawberry Mead. I have only brewed two batches of beer in the past - both being successes. It's been a few years since I've been in the game (if you call that being 'in the game') and I want to make a good mead. My wife's family raises bees and sell quality...

Light spoils the hops in beer. And since cider has no hops (unless you added your own special hint,) then I'm sure it'd be a great idea to bottle it in a clear bottle. Most ciders that you buy from the store are in clear bottles. Sure there are beer in clear bottles as well, but they use special...

Thanks guys. I didn't actually get an original gravity, but I could buy a thing of apple juice and measure it and then measure mine. I guess when I get home I'll check it out. Well, it's going to have to sit for a little while longer, since I have no bottles!! Does 3 months sound normal for...

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been on the forum. Well about 4-6 months ago (I'm completely unsure of how long it's been,) I began a cider. I used 5 gallons of Sam's apple juice (100% no concentrates, just apple juice.) I can't exactly remember what yeast I used, but I believe it was...

I disagree with the majority here. In fact, I bet you half of the people here post during work hours. In my opinion, if you go to work on time, be productive, and do your job there should be no problem. I surf at work, but I'm also a very productive worker. I handle so many various duties...

I think there are some "GM and ford buyers" here. Really, who cares what vehicles you buy? I know from personal experience that GM and Ford cars (I've never owned a truck) are much worse than Toyota and Honda. My girlfriend has a 2002 Ford Focus with only 60,000 miles. I have a 99 Volkswagen Bug...

You never hear about people complaining that their mail makes it to their mailbox and to the receiver. I think you get what you pay for.

I liked 2001 : A Space Odyssey . I believe the movie is open to one's own interpretation. That's what makes it a good movie. Instead of being told what happened, you make your own decision about the movie. There's really no complete explanation for the end of the movie and the monolith...

Nearly every Beach Boys songs

Pink Floyd - Goodbye Blue Sky ( I think almost all of those noises are included )

Want proof for global warming? Let's look at the planet Venus. Venus is the SECOND planet in the solar system. It's however the HOTTEST terrestrial (rock) planet in the solar system? Why isn't Mercury (1st planet) the hottest? It's much closer to the sun than Venus. The reason is this...

"Instead of reading a book on Stock market investing (more for day traders and the like), I'd just pick up a book on personal financial planning, which will cover a more broad (and realistic) approach. Check out these books by David Bach. This one is good too. Be wary of any "get rich quick"...

Same here.. I ordered The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing (by Jason Kelly.) This looked like a good introduction book. It basically starts off when terminology, then goes into the investment strategies of the top 6 investors (Lynch, Buffet, etc.), then some historical facts about...
