Check out the thread here on HBT about Skeeter Pee Not exactly hard lemonade I think its better. Super easy to make and nothing better on a hot day!

So my beer froze while being cold crashed (long story) I have slowly thawed it and wanting to bottle now. Do I need to add yeast to carb it? I fermented it with SO5 and have more but have no idea how to proceed. Would I add a whole packet maybe mixed with the sugar or rack onto the yeast a few...

My local brew club does a Megabrew twice a year at a local brewery. We make 350 gallons each time. Club members can buy 5 gallons of Wort for 15.00 for the first 5 gals. and 10.00 for each carboy after that. We cannot pitch on premises so everyone takes it home and does their thing. Beer that's...

So I've gone on a hop buying spree over the last couple weeks and want to make some IPA's I've got 1 pound each of Cascade, Columbus, Centennial, Nugget, Equinox, Pekko, Jarroyl, Warrior, and 1/2 pound of Willamette I'm trying to stay away from a cookie cutter type IPA (the "C"s). Anyone willing...

I use a yoga mat cut to size and used spray adhesive to bond reflex insulation around the kettle and made a top also. brewed yesterday in 50 degree weather and only lost 1 degree in a 60 minute mash for my BIAB setup. very cheap and easy to make and does the job just fine.

Ditto on the Corona mill my whole setup was about $30.00 not counting the drill motor. It was an easy DIY project and allows me to brew whenever I want. Buying grains in bulk has paid for the mill setup in the first bag. I also just picked up 4 Lbs of hops for under $23.00 from Yakima Valley...

I use Brewers Friend and am very pleased with it. being web based I can bring it up on any device with web access so I can use it anytime I want or need it.

I'll second the water bottle for a hopper, in fact wilserbrewer's setup is what I built and couldn't be more pleased with the results! Check out the ugly junk thread for way too much info on using a Corona type mill.

Don't forget to explore the used market as well. I only been brewing for less than . a year and have accumulated a good bit of equipment this way. If you have a local brew club around they are a great resource for equipment. Don't forget Craigslist either. My best advice is to not get caught up...

try Harbor Freight I use one of their lift tables that I added bigger wheels to works fantastic!

I just did a batch on the 27th double ground my grain, used a new digital thermometer and squeezed the hell out of the bag. Brewers Friend shows: Conversion: 81.7% Brew House: 92% 33.9 ppg very happy

Going to the Troll Stroll in Freemont (in Seattle) a little gambling and visit with the kids!

Thank you! do you have any idea of how much honey to add? from doing a search info is kinda scarce. the best I came up with is 2oz of honey should the SG .005 points but it didn't say if this is per gallon. I have about 2.3 gallons now after pulling samples for the SG tests. I'm thinking I could...

Ok I'm at 1.00 and not showing any air lock activity is it time to rack to secondary? I'm thinking 2 1 gallon carboys and add frozen strawberries to one and back sweeten the other. when drinking my sample it tastes ok but not much honey flavor, could be the cheap honey i used. Will better honey...

I made my first batch on 2/22/16. I followed the recipe TO THE LETTER and everything seems good! OG was 1.100 and today (2/23/16) it was at 1.080 does this seem right? I degassed and added my Fermaid K and DAP as per instructions. Nothing weird happening just wanted some reassurance. By the way...

I started my starter as per Denard Brewing last night, pitched the Wyeast 1388 at 7:00pm last night at 100 degrees. I had good airlock activity at 10:00pm. When I checked it out this morning there was no airlock activity at all. I paniced and added some more nutrient and honey hoping to start...

I'm making my first batch (BOMM) soon and will be doing a starter. My question is how do I measure the OG of the starter? do I just place a sterile hydrometer in the flask?

I've read thru the thread and I'm kinda lost. I want to make the BOMM for my first adventure in making mead but there is some conflicting info on amounts and ingredients. Is there a current recipe out there somewhere? Is the one on Denard Brewing current? I'm wanting to do a 2 gal, batch and...

So I'm just getting started in mead and have a question about JAOM. Could frozen orange juice and a more suitable yeast be used successfully? I know it wouldn't be true JAOM, but it would be easier to clean the carboy and some lavin yeast might give better flavor. any input?
