Yeah I just needed to be a smart ass ;) From what you noted above, broken in to small quantities, vacuum sealed, and frozen sounds ideal. I think I’ll get through my 20g packet by 18 months - as I’ve eyeballed the dosing on the last 2 batches and I think I went over 2g... Dan

So, specific conditions; ziplock baggie.

Is this filled from your tap? Or bottle conditioned? Dan

Thanks so much. Myself, my wife, and two kids (8 and 10yo) got it, and we believe it came from their school as there were other children who came down with it. We’re mostly recovered though. My grandfather did pass away at 94 years old a couple of weeks ago due to covid and I have many...

My first beer in 2.5 weeks due to having covid. Not sure why I bought high $$$ hoppy beer when I can only slightly taste that it’s beer...? Oh well, it’s good to be back! Dan

Sorry about that; its Homebrewing, Beer Brewing, Wine Making and Beverage Supplies which is Adventures in Home brewing (AIH).

AIH has ball locks for $39 and free shipping over $50, so I ordered 2 this AM.

The compressor died on mine. I can only get it to start by beating the compressor as hard as possible with a hammer while it’s trying to start 😆 Yes, it has a softball sized dent in it now, and yes, it did make me feel a bit better. However, I do agree with you; most failures are due to the...

I’m recovering from COVID and my taster is all screwed up. All alcoholic beverages taste like cough syrup! At least I can taste, there were 4 days where I had zero taste or smell sensation. Everyone please enjoy an extra pint for me! Dan

I’ve been elbows deep in several beers to squeeze hop or fruit bags at the bottom of the fermentor. I always sanitize my arms and hope for the best lol. No infections yet, and I don’t tell the people who drink my beer ;)

my packet of sour pitch has lasted over 6 months in a ziplock in the fridge. Dan

I’ve got ingredients for a slightly modified batch of this coming tomorrow. I think I’ll use some mosaic hops for late & dry hop additions but I also have galaxy and hallertau blanc. I’ve got a few days to make up my mind there, but suggestions are welcome. I didn’t order any Nelson Sauvin...

Just pitched US-05 and Sour Pitch in to my 3rd round of this “beer”. My friends can’t get enough and they think I’m some kind of world class brewer. This one will have 2 lb/gal of raspberries and is for a friend’s birthday in January. This is the only beer, including commercial beers, that...

HB Galaxy + mosaic dry-hopped APA. Not bad, I’m happy with the clarity!

Thanks for the cautionary tale. I routinely batch sparge with the mash tun outlet open and fill my boil kettle with grainy vorlauf in the process. So I’m probably also capable of burning my toes...

Glad you’re back to work, my double-jointed thumb comrade.

2nd batch using this recipe as a baseline. I upped the grains and ended at 1.055 OG for 5 gallons. After 5 days it’s down to about 1.015 and taste is lightly tart so far and really good. Racked to secondary on to 3 lb of whole dark sweet cherries with about 1/4oz of light toasted oak spiral...

Rigged a blowoff tube for my secondary right after this pic... I added 3lb of cherries and a bit of light toasted oak spiral to this co-soured base and it took off again. Pretty sure this one is going to be real good... it looks a lot less like tomato juice in person, it’s almost purple.

Going to have to give this one a shot in the future. I brewed a Wit recently from a pretty traditional recipe and it’s missing bitterness something awful. I kept to about 13 IBU total with no aroma additions. I made up for it with 0.5oz of bitter orange peel and a full oz of crushed...

WHERE ARE THE DUPHRANES? How could anyone drink at a time like this!!??!? People are missing!!!!
