I love their cream ale and carabou slobber. I'm about to order a few kits since they have a 15% off kit sale through facebook, I have no idea what I want to brew next!

Aaah! I just left my brew with my first blowoff tube back at my place for the week with no supervision!

Does FermCap change the final product at all? I have never read much into it, I was afraid it would kill the head of the finished beer.

Am I okay to leave this for the week for spring break now that I have the blowoff setup? It won't suck back enough to get the nasty solution in the beer will it?

I brewed a Brewers Best American Amber ale last night and I noticed the yeast starting to kick into gear after only a few hours. I went out and stayed at my girlfriends last night and when I came back I smelled it as soon as I stepped in my house. (Smells so good.) The airlock had blown out the...

Left hand sawtooth ale

Nevermind about premier cuvee being ready after 3 weeks, shouldn't have kegged >_<. I wonder if it takes larger batches longer to mellow out, also I only got about 3.75 gals so its VERY strong since I meant for 5. Time to grab some 2 liters of squirt and have some friends over.

Just kegged some up after just under 3 weeks in primary made from frozen concentrate, brown sugar, nutrient, and premier cuvee. OG was 1.081, FG was .996. Going to force carb it today to probably around 2.5 volumes. I reccomend trying this yeast. I haven't tried the Montrachet yet (I will on my...

I just brewed some up on the 25th of january with brown sugar and premier cuvee, I am going to try and keg it today I think... I know it seems really soon but it seems that cuvee is much faster than montrachet, I have had very good luck drinking this stuff prematurely. I guess I will give it a...

Waiting to bottle a gallon of cran apfelwein made from cider

I have been making all my batches with premier cuvee and have had awesome results at even less than a month, I think it is because it is a faster yeast. I picked up a packet of montrachet to try for my next batch since that's what the recipe usually calls for but I REALLY like the cuvee. I...

I got a sg of 1.081 from 14 cans concentrate, and 2lbs brown sugar. With an fg around 1 I will have around 10%abv.

Oh he did! The good news is that there is still beer coming out, I wondering if I didn't lose TOO much. It soaked a bath towel a roll of paper towels and a handtowel, maybe I should pour a gallon of water on the floor to get an idea hah.

so I had a few friends over after bailing on a party for a homebrew and movie. One of my buddies asked to try my moose drool clone and I agreed ofcourse. Anyways about 5 minutes later I got up to go to the bathroom and my kitchen floor was covered in beer. =( nobody is touching the tap but me...

Farm n fleet buckets are only 3 dollars with lids, it doesn't say food grade on the buckets but if you go to manufacturers website under faq it says all their buckets are food grade. The seal is really tight but I put a strip of tape around the outside just to make sure and poked a hole in the...

Okay! I will be letting it sit in there but the buckets taped shut so I don't want to open it up. My og was 1.080 by the way.

What's the fastest anyone has seen their apfelwein reach fg? My airlock for 5 gallons stopped bubbling after less than 2 weeks. I wonder if the yeast nutrient had anything to do with it?

I kegged 5 gallons of carabou slobber last night and put it in my fridge. This morning I hooked the co2 up to 12 psi and came back to it about 4 hours later and put it up to 30 and did the shake for 7 minutes. I degassed it and hooked up the co2 to 12 psi, got beer in the gas line somehow but...

Bud gives headaches, coors doesn't.

Yea 10 lbs fits well in a 5 gal paint straining bag. I ve done 11 but I wouldn't try more than that.
