    Grain Storage Question

    That's awesome, I thought that the fridge might add odd flavors, my buddy hardly has any food in his fridge though and uses baking soda in it. I guess if I can get 25 lbs into one bucket from farm & fleet for 3 dollars with a lid I might as well! My new apt had an attic too so I could store it...

    Man, I love Apfelwein

    Simple American barleywine recipe

    how much does adding caramel malt effect abv? I feel like this is coming up a bit short... maybe I can add a lb of cara 20 or 10 to the 40. I will probably dryhop with ah oz of amarillo if doing it at flameout won't do anything for me. I am trying to get the sort of beer style that is...

    Simple American barleywine recipe

I haven't made many recipes and this is my first barleywine, id like to keep it simple so I don't have to toss unused portions of each lb of grain but id rather waste a lb or two than...

    Finally time to get a fermenter

    Does the scratch thing apply to pet carboys? I hope not, the lady at the lhbs said a carboy/ bottle brush was safe with it. Also they sell nozzels for brew buckets at the lhbs, could I use it to convert a bucket from farm & fleet? They have several different types of buckets there, diff plastic...

    Grain Storage Question

    I brew about once every month or two also and order about 2 kits at a time online. I save the 2nd plastic bag that comes around the grains I get from brewmasters and put them around the grain I plan on storing, so there are usually 3 bags tied around my grain. I store it in the fridge in the...

    Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

    A lot of times I am looking for a little buzz to start my night off or to save dough at a bar I will grab a 40 of mickeys, old milwaukee, or miller highlife to drink before going out, but the other day I was forced into a 32 oz of miller light. I can't think of a time when I liked the stuff but...

    Finally time to get a fermenter

    Finally time to get a 6 gal fermenter! I have been doing 5 gal ag kits with BIAB and splitting them to 2 overfilled mr beer containers; its worked well enough but I want to have more beer going at once, and I'm don't want to end up with 10 mr beer vessels a year down the road. I will have to...

    Reusing better bottle after infection?

    I had a fliptop bottle with half a cm of black mold stuck on the bottle and for the heck of it I filled it with bleachwater and capped it. The black stuff turned white, flaked off the bottom and completely dissolved afte a week or two. I don't think anything can survive bleach.
