My Mr. Beer PET bottle caps are black. It is probably whatever was cheaper when orders were placed.

After last nights bottling fiasco I may be able to convince the mrs. to let me keg. (Over Primed.. thread)

My wife helps me on brew and bottle day. I ferment in a 5gal icing bucket. (Makes 4gal) I use my LBK as a bottling bucket. So I ask the mrs. to make the sugar/water mixture for 2 gallons. She got all confused with the whole tsp TBLSP thing. My chart said 20 tsp for 2 gallons. She makes the...

Some Pastors keep their consumption on the down low because they don't want someone who is battling alcoholism to see the Pastor drinking and thinking "If its okay for the Pastor, its okay for me too." The whole causing another to stumble sort of thing. I grew up in churches where Alcohol was...

I wouldn't even cook dinner on that thing. Way to close to the wall, and that counter could easily catch fire.

My taxes are mostly done. Just a few more things to enter, still waiting on all the paperwork to come in. My postman is terrible. I get more of my neighbors mail than mine, frequently. Either a bunch more bottles, or I am gonna start kegging. I am at least getting a mini fridge to keep...

I have been called a music hipster many times. Simply because I am in the industry and listen to artists/bands before they become mainstream. Good music is good music no matter the genre. Good beer is good beer, no matter who brewed it or where it came from. Just cause one person may not...

I keep mine moderately trimmed. It helps hide the double chin. :rockin: Shaved it into a goatee a few weeks ago... Immediately grew it all back in. No guard on the neck every few days cause I'm to lazy to shave, and the mrs. complains if the neck hair gets too long.

Table sugar is fine if you dont have dextrose. Dextrose fermentation "cleaner". Fill bottles at an angle to avoid mixing air into the beer. Sanitize the inside of your spigot too. I dipped a q tip in sanitizer. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Home Brew mobile app

What I am saying is buy one of the big cans of Coopers or Muntons brand. Coopers actually owns Mr.Beer, but their cans are twice the size. So if you buy one of the Coopers cans, and any additives you need for that brew. You simply split it in half. So instead of using the full 3.75lbs can of...

So I am still using a MR. Beer to Ferment. If you want to keep using Extracts, buy a coopers extract can. I am brewing an Irish Stout with 2# of LME. Split it in half. I spent $28 for the Coopers can, 2# of LME, and S-04. Each batch should gets me 16 pints. So 32 pints total for $28. It...

I did an Irish Stout last night.

5 Gal of Irish Stout 1910

Prayer... Lots of prayer... and mead... They weren't worried about infections back then because having every batch taste exactly the same wasn't a requirement. Getting tipsy, and drinking beer because the water made everyone sick, was the goal. Now we like our batches to taste as close...

You must have big shoulders.

As a touring Musician it can be hard. Here are some things that work/have worked for me. Relationship: I have been married 8 years. I would be gone for 3-6 weeks at a time, then home for 3 days - 2 weeks. It is VERY difficult on a relationship. Especially if you have children. (we...

That would be good on a bumper sticker or fridge magnet.

I picked up the mrb kit a few weeks ago. I had been telling the Mrs. for years that I wanted to homebrew. Walking through the store I saw it and just snagged it. Before I even brewed it I had plans to get a bigger bucket. But with the size of the apartment there really isn't any place to...

I just bottled my first batch last night. It fermented for 2 weeks. Temps were all over the place. Being from Michigan and now living in Texas the temp swings are crazy. But I don't like turning the heat on till it gets in the 50's. It fermented about 69 for the first 2-3 days, then was up...
