Worked with something similar myself today: a buddy gave me his used, "I dunno but it seems to be fine except it screws up the defrost cycle" 3.5 cuft freezer. NORMALLY, I'd think a 3.5 is way to small to do anything productive, but measuring and cutting out templates suggests I'll get a 5...

On topic: Bottled 5 gallons of ginger beer for a friend's going-away-for-medical-school party later this week. A bit off topic, but SO much more important: after two years, I finally completed the mental journey from: "I'm a noobie and I think bottling is going to be fine for me for a long...

UPDATE: Just to bring you up to speed: this batch is carbed up and pasteurized, ready for my belly! Overall, the peach flavor is very evident (go figure) but also brings along with it a pretty hefty tartness. Sweetness-wise, it's definitely sweeter than I'd guess most folks here would prefer...

Waiting until the very END of yesterday's brew day to find the dead spider floating around in your star-san bucket. I know, I know, the beer will be fine, he's now just a very clean, dead spider. But still... Don't do that.

Searched the thread and apparently I've never responded here. It's been a while, but I've made two separate five gallon batches, one extract and one BIAB. SO... 6037 + 10 = 6047

When backsweetening and bottling a batch of cider... and just moments ago your wife remarked "your batch must be going well, you aren't swearing nearly as much as you used to," DO NOT drop an entire room-temperature can of frozen apple juice concentrate all over the kitchen floor and surrounding...

ALSO: post your recipe for ginger beer! I have one that's getting very high reviews from friends and family, but I'm always looking for new additions.

OK, so, in an attempt to reach my goal of a super-peachy apple cider, this just happened: Eight cans, along with about 200g of orange blossom honey, added to just two gallons of 8% ABV cider. Due to the volume of the "nectar" I ended up dropping my ABV down around the neighborhood of...

I'm taking a bit of a lead from the "alphabet smash" thread, planning using the same general recipe with several different hops, to learn about how they taste individually. SO, my decision to go with both was based on: 1.) I REALLY want the hop to rock the party. These may not be brews I'd...

Due, in all honesty, to little more than my hatred of leftover hop pellets floating around in my freezer, so far mine's a 3.5 gallon batch with: 0.25oz @ 30 0.50oz @ 15 0.25oz @ 5 Getting me 41-ish IBUs. We'll see how it goes, though...

I just bought the gear I need for a Maris Otter/ Columbus SMaSH. BIG QUESTION FOR THE THREAD: I've seen a few responses about it not being ideal for bittering? I'm intrigued, since Brewer's Friend is listing it around 15% AA. My goal for the brew is to maximize flavor without going...

This is my concern, as well. A lot of times, they're designed for the small amount of NEGATIVE pressure created by heat-pasteurizing a non-carbonated liquid (apple juice, say). Thirty gallons is a BIG batch of beer to brew when you aren't sure what you're going to put it all! I get a little...

Seems to be pretty consistent across the board, regardless of extract. I can confirm separation with both McCormick's and Zatarain's.

At a minimum, I was guessing that when Margaery saw her brother do everything he was supposed to do (from the High Septon's POV) and still ended up a lifetime-slave of the faith with a huge bloody star carved in his head, the HS was betting she was going to try to make a run for it. To take it...

For so much of the rest of the story and the revelations we've had over the last book/season, we can look back from where we are now, see the breadcrumbs GRRM had dropped all they way through the story, and have an "a-ha" moment. But this one is a tough one for me. There are, as you said, a few...

So, assuming you were using an ale yeast, you may be done. Did you use any temperature control? If it fermented that fast, I'd bet it's going to taste pretty hot, it may be worth letting it sit a bit longer so the yeast can clean up, at least a little bit. The ABV will depend on where you...

Thanks everybody! Based on the upvotes for Dutch Gold, I ended up buying a pound of Dutch Gold Orange Blossom off of Amazon, since it's all I needed for a one gallon batch of cider I'm looking to backsweeten. Thanks for the other resources, as well! I'll keep them in mind: I need to decide...

Yeah, reading back, I can see how I said that wrong. I was thinking about things from the point of view of Littlefinger, rather than GRRM. I think LITTLEFINGER is thinking that his marriage to Sansa would put the entire North in his pocket.... and (from LF's point of view) "I've knocked off one...

I've even heard this question from a couple of the podcasts. To me, it's obvious, and I thought the teaser for the finale pretty much confirmed it: he's out to marry Sansa. He had a huge thing for Catelyn, marrying Sansa would be the GOT equivalent of pulling a Graduate. But really, it isn't...

Cerveza Aguila. Although it's Colombian, I was introduced to it while in Spain in my teens. To this day, it's the beer that came to mind when I saw the title of this thread.
