Depends on the yeast, and what your potential alcohol (SG) was to start with. If your yeast is nearly petered out, and you throw more sugar in there, you'll end up with dead yeast (eventually) and leftover sugar. On the other hand if you have some really badass yeast and they can withstand...

Ok so I made some apfelwein today but I screwed up a bit. I had a bag of sugar and I thought it was 2 pounds, well when I was done and took my SG it was 1.114 then I noticed my bag was 4 pounds. Guess it'll be some rocket fuel when done :) Here's a pic: Yeah 3 gallons. I used...

I put 5 full gallons of my "nearly" 10 gallon batch into a carboy for secondary and aging in the basement today, and bottled the rest like beer, priming it for carbonation and bottling it into champagne and some clear beer bottles I've collected lately (Newcastle), I used a slight bit more...

Just got the spigot on my 3 gal BB and sanitized it, I'm about to put 3 gallons of this in the carboy!

I plan to run through all the possible combos, bottled and corked in wine bottles, and primed and sweetened for a "wine cooler" effect in either beer bottles or champagne bottles, primed and bottled dry for more of a true champagne, and maybe sweetened without carbing. I'll use whatever I can...

I ordered 4 ported BB's, 3 3 Gallon and a 5, not realizing the stinking little plastic spigot would be ANOTHER $28 or more PER bottle. The picture DID show a spigot so I just 'assumed' I mean seriously how much can a spigot cost? The ones for my buckets at the LHBS are like $3 or $4 each...

This, I just chunk in my caps when I start washing bottles.

I once got the bright idea (when I was out of coke) to try Crown Royal and root beer. Once. Only once, won't do that again :)

They sure missed their forecast on how much snow we were gonna get :( I'd call that "a dusting" not 2-4" damn. So much for making a snowman with the kid today.

Same here, jumping on the 'this will taste like crap, but if not I just might try a gallon or two for the helluvit" bandwagon. Let us know how it is after bottle conditioning and carbing up!

I threw out the Mr Beer thing after 2 batches, the little spigot would drip if you aren't real careful, no real airlock. My justification of "well if I want to make a small batch" was overturned after I ordered some 3 gallon carboys :)

If I simply want a "buzz" I pour 2 fingers of whatever distilled spirits I have around, throw in a couple ice cubes, and done, by the time I actually get a buzz from "normal" beer my gut's so damned sloshy I'm more in danger of pissing myself to death or puking up the 12 pack it takes to feel it...

http://huntsville.craigslist.org/bfs/1599817795.html Oh my look at that, holy crap I want that in my (still unbuilt) garage Here's the text:

Apparently I'm a cheap bastard. I get all bent paying $13 for a 4 pack. However. Few weeks ago I was in my favorite beer store and was joking with the girl about the $13 for 4 Yeti Stouts and she was like "we got some barley wine for $8 a bottle" and me being a fan of the Flying Dog barley...

Sad thing is, I worked from home today (sick kid) and probably did less HBT browsing than normal! Is that irony? or something else?

Man shut up! I'm up here by Huntsville and we got jack, I feel so cheated :( Had to stay home all day with a sick kid and couldn't even make a snowman. I hear Arab got some snow though, gotta go marry my cousin's boy tomorrow hopefully I get to see some snow. Course I'll be in a suit and tie...

Get down on your KNEES sons. On your Knees. And repeat after me. Dear Lord THANK YOU for beer and for makeup and for low cut blouses and Daisy Dukes. That is all. Thank you LORD Amen.

Haha cool I'm gonna watch the news tonight then! Starts in 30 minutes :)

128oz per gallon 5 gallons per batch 12 oz per beer 128 x 5 = 640 / 12 = 53.33 This isn't calculus it's multiplication and division :drunk:

I did a Cooper's Irish Stout with 3 lbs extra dark DME and 1 lbs corn sugar and it's awesome, seriously something I'd drink regularly without complaint. I'm not sure if they're that different but I figure they're pretty similar so maybe throw some extra dark in there next time to give it some...
