I do that a lot. I'll brew 7 gallons: keg 5 bottle 2. I just add my priming sugar right to the bottles then fill them.

You may have but, you may like it.

I stopped entering contests. I used them to help me learn how to brew within the confines of a description and style (i.e. Your category must have this color range, this hop bitterness, and this flavor profile). That way I learned to brew to the populace's expectations. After a while I got it...

I haven't used the pineapple but, I've used the Raspberry, Watermelon, Grapefruit, Pomegranate, Mango, and peach. I never use more then 2 ounces total (half the bottle) ever. and I mostly used them in addition to the actual fruit or fruit juices. Never alone. 1/4 bottle of Pineapple, 1/4...

I place them in the secondary. I dip them in a no rinse sanitizer before placing them in the secondary.

If your watermelon isn't as ripe as it should be it will create a sort of cucumber aroma. Or if you cut the melon too close to the rine. I've worked with watermelon in a lot of beers over the years. It's very volatile and hard to extract flavor from because it is mostly sugars that give it...

In 12 years I've had two stuck sparges. Both times there was a lot of grain powder in my bag of grain from the HBS - like it was the bottom of the sack. I just dumped it into another cooler and put it back into the mash tun and remade the grain bed (after trying everything to get it to flow)...

I leave mine whole and put them in a cheese cloth sack. For me four pounds of fruit for a five gallon batch makes a great fruit beer so for a little extra flavor in a shandy I would do may be one and a half pounds or two pounds, depending on how ripe or how rick the fruit was.

That looks like a whole list of stuff I do not want to drink. I carbonate our tap water. Taste great. Do both and givde her a blind taste test. Bet she can't tell. Make it a triangle test two of one and one of the other to see if she can ID the odd sample. Bet not.

Fifty Batch Boch.

It isn't so much what the bit is made of. It's more about the ability to keep it sharp and well lubricated while you are drilling. Start with a properly sharpened bit and drill a pilot hole. Use thread cutting oil to keep it cooled down and lubricated. I myself use a set of hole saws made...

I supply a lot to private parties and other opportunities.

58. I brew anywhere from 10 to 20 gallons a month.

According to an article in Vinepair the stats released by the Brewers Association said, "We are still seeing openings outpace closings by about 5 to 1. There are 7,346 craft breweries in the U.S. with an estimated 1,049 openings and 219 closings last year." I'm thinking bad business practices...

Nice. This is one of my favorites to make.

Some times I make dog biscuits using peanut butter but, almost all the time I give them to some one who has chickens, or goats, or pigs. I call on the weekend to tell them i brewed and they bring the empty bucket and trade it for a full one.

It's the process and finished product for me. I have no problem spending an entire day brewing. I still fly sparge and I still use a three vessel system. I still do 60 minute boils and I still build/repair all my own brewing equipment. To me there isn't much point in having a hobby if all...

I put it in a colander and submerge it in sanitizer before I put it in the secondary.

I've broke three. That's when I switched to a nice refractometer.

People will drink anything if it is presented or marketed in a cool or favorable manor.
