One thing I have done is put a bucket of oxyclean solution in the garage. After rinsing, just toss the bottles in the bucket. Next time I go to toss some more bottles, grab the de-labeled ones out of the bucket and rinse em off. The first time I brewed.... I de-labeled all the bottles at once...

If you aim for 6 and boil off 1 per hour.... wouldn't you need 7 gallons pre-boil? or do you do 2 hour boils?

If your speech is supposed to be persuasive/argumentative, just argue the point that homebrew saves you money :)

Oh, forgot to answer your question. 6 kegs for that many people seems like overkill to me if one criteria for a successful wedding is remembering it. If you make 2-3 kegs and plan to buy the rest.... you can make a game day decision on how much beer will actually be needed.

Does it have to be all or nothing? Why not make 2-3 kegs and buy the other kegs in NC?

I am trying to clone a New Belgium Trippel, so I went to the website and found this info: I wrote NB hoping to get some hints (or the exact recipe) and they came back with this: I am using BrewTarget and have everything set up to hit and OG of 17.6 before adding the sugar. I can add the...

So.... you didn't like my beer and decided to tell the internet instead of telling me?

I can't seem to find it.... but I thought someone posted a spreadsheet to determine your volume in inches based on the container size. Anyone have better search foo than I do? The reason I ask is that I marked off my stir paddle last time I brewed for every gallon I added to my pot, but it...

In regards to wanting to make a NB Ranger clone.... email them from their website. I did this just a few days ago about their trippel Me: Them: I am still pretty new to brewing and have decided that I would like to try and clone (or get close) on beers that I already know that I...

If you remove the spring stopper from the bottling wand, you can just stick it in your mouth and skip the glass.

Found that this evening. It looks like I should have used 9oz of priming sugar for the hefe and 3 for the 1554 clone. I used 5 for both.

It rolls, but isn't violent. I can boil a little harder if I want to, but it seems like I boil on the edge of violent... Which could cause wort to jump out of the kettle.

It has been quite a while since I was in manhattan.... but they had this bar called "The Big Bar". It is a bar the size of a big closet. Gimmickey? yes. Good beer? I don't even remember. Fun to have a beer in this bar? yes. Maybe it is not even around anymore... but I just thought it was...

Good point about the altitude and CO2. For the first batch, I used Walmart drinking water. Second batch used Monument, Colorado tap water. Same issue on both beers. Fridge time ranged between 2 hours and 1 week. Same issue on both beers. Maybe I should just try upping the priming...

I was just pullin your chain. Animated would be cool, but I get just as much info watching a youtube video tutorial..

I believe they have this website that can help with that.... metube? thoseguystube? youtube? .... something like that.

It seems like carbonation level is my issue.... any resources on upping my priming sugar safely?

I should have explained.... the hefe was extract and the 1554 clone was AG. Both with the same issue. Would elevation have anything to do with it? I live at 7000 feet.

lol... maybe I should be more careful with my jokes. There really isn't much head generated in the first place for both these beers. They feel carbonated, just not quite as much compared to a bottle conditioned store bought micro of the same style. The 1554 clone is from AHS, so I won't type...

I hear Manhattan is pretty devoid of bars and restraunts.... you may not have much luck finding one. :)
