You are correct. In the late eighties and early nineties, Coors released a similar product called a party ball.

Wouldn't that be a hop tincture?

Nice of you to take the missus along;)

Not necessarily. I have a cousin who didn't even know she was pregnant until she was in her ninth month. Also, very heavy women can be difficult to tell if they're pregnant or not. You can't always tell by sight alone. What this cop should have done was taken the guys statement as a...

So all a lady has to do is pretend to be in labor and they should get a free pass?

Did your ex actually make an emergency landing or was that just a set-up for the broom thing?

Drink, man, drink!!!

If that kegerator is set up for sankey kegs, you're going to have to convert it to accept ball-lock kegs as well. CHI is a great company and has everything you need except for gas.

The tap looks like it's seen better days but the box is kinda cool. I'd say it's worth $15.

At least another week (and this is assuming the kit came with an ale yeast rather than an actual lager yeast.) First off, each beer has its own personality and will develop according to it's own schedule. The temps and fermentability of the wort are almost certainly not going to be exactly those...

won't the bail keep the balloon from getting a good seal?

It'll be fine. You'll just have a lot of crap on the bottom of your fermenter is all. If you secondary, the excess will settle out and little if anything will be present in the bottle.

I'll bring some flowers and a nice bottle of port if you want. ;)

It's good and bad. Having a blowoff proves that you have a very active yeast and it should ferment out properly, however it can also indicate too high of a fermentation temperature or not enough space in the fermenter for the krausen. Also, a lot of beer can be expelled in a blowoff. The bigger...

I should add that the rehydration process just wakes the yeast up so they ferment sooner. Also, it can help prove the viability of the yeast. Check the package directions for rehydration instructions. Some don't need it at all.

What are you brewing?

You can tell her to log in to this sight and direct her to this thread and she can see for herself what to do. It'll be easier than trying to explain it.

The goal of a starter is to build up an adequate number of healthy yeast for proper fermentation. With dry yeast (unless it's very old or mishandled) does not require a starter because the drying process preserves the yeast and there are actually more viable cells in dry versus liquid. In fact...

Damn you Revvy and your fast typing ways!!!

What was the OG and FG of your cider and did you use a lot of added sugar in it? Also, how long did you ferment it?
