Tasting was the main reason i decided to try the rubber /plastic caps. Turns out the caps held good carb without blowing off, (which i really thought they would.) In closing, i have had enough factory twist off brews that barely had any carbonation well before the expire date. I also ALWAYS...

Yeah, when the old stand byes work why change? I get that but there are different types of caps these days. I even thought why glass? Heavy FCC plastic certainly hold carbonation. Open any bottle of soda or carb water. Ill try those next but not for awhile.

Tragic!

I have used them when my batches yield 50 to 52 brews. I case 48 then experiment with a few. The rubber caps came from the exoeriment. God luck.

They're called "reusable beer caps" I ordered them from Amazon. On threaded bottles the rubber grips onto the fine threads & holds the pressure.

I tried these on twist off bottles. No threads just a very tightly fitted silicone rubber cap. Hey, they worked so products are out there. Before plastic become king old style "Fresca" soda caps worked well but that's when Dinosaurs still roamed. Good luck.

I travel near or far to find different brews. Beer tasting has become an off shoot hobbie. However, making my own is still the best (most times) anyway. I had the same dilemma you're now facing. 30 + years away from brewing and I just started back up 2 years ago. The hardest part was stopping...

Not the best sales pitch in the world but i get it. However, asking if it WORKS is not an idiot question. Common sence on this deal.

Drinking Genesee Honey Brown Lager. Ran 300+ miles to Ontario Canada for Carling Black Label but No luck finding it. Picked up Molson Canadian Lager which is really tasty. But , Hey Mabel, NO Black Label!

To many answers on that one. All good though. Funny!

Technically...we're ALL living breathing drinking Fermenters.

After reading "all" the secondary fermentation comments, I've decided to "try" No secondary vessle next brewing season. I gathered enough knowledge and the general consensus from all commentaters point to the second ferm isn't really necessary. So, I'll try it. No big deal. Thanks all!

Just yesterday while sharing a few my buddies said, "Damn dude, this is good! Maybe to good. Might have Trouble stopping!" From those words of wisdom came, "Trouble in a Bottle." I like the name. That's the first time i even thought about naming my brews. Over 30 + years brewing and it seriously...

I got sort of malted out and Vienna Lager would taste very good now. Never heard of AAss Brewery but ill look for it. Between my Porters, Czech Darks & Honey Ales I need a crisper pallet tangy brew. I was thinking about having a Fosters. Why I don't know. If, I can actually find it here in Pa...

Pennsylvania here, Yeuingling brewery, America's oldest brewery still brews a Lager & it's a top seller. The taste (to me) is what a Lager should taste like. I found a recipe after reading several articles about the brewery and pieced it together. Haven't tasted it yet as its still carbonating...

If it smells fruity like you stated, I wouldn't worry. I've had one that literally could ignite nose hairs but it still turned out tasty. Good luck & cheers

I probably drink about the same as I always have. I enjoy the taste of homebrew more then ever but also have some stand by brewerys. If anything cost wise, I'll remind myself as to why am I buying beer when I have several cases on hand? I think it's because I'd rather save mine for myself or get...

15 gallon Porter 5 gallon Czech Ale 5 gallon Honey Ale 5 gallon Lager 5 gallon Kentucky Common 5 gallon Cerveza 1,683 + 40 = 1,723

Any item with "Old Reading" logo can date back to the 1940's era & beyond. 3 match packs i recently found and a re-sealable bottle cap. The bottle cap is unique I guess.

There is a very good video on YouTube called "How to brew home made beer." For the new brewers its really worth viewing. It's more than just basics and very informative. Just saying
