Last night I bottled off the remains of two kegs and a gallon of wild cider, washed 4 kegs, and kegged my cider and cyser. Time to update the signature!

******* ************ Sorry, I just had to try it! Edit: Ok, that's pretty damn hysterical!

I absolutely love and applaud your reckless scientific abandon! :tank::bravo: Oh, and my daughter votes for My Little Pony on the next batch of balloons...

I think you're going to be better off with the OxiClean Free...there's no perfumes or fragrances, just a "plain vanilla" peroxide based cleaner. I suspect that those blue bits are fragrance/perfume bits. From what I read briefly online the actual active ingredients are the same as the Free...

Also, infection? How does it taste and smell?

Picked up some ingredients for a couple quick batches last night. This will be my first time using Cryo hops! Kind of excited!

That is *way* better than being able to see my Halloween inflatables from space!!!

I agree this was incredibly funny and classy, kudos to whatever suit thought up and/or approved this move!

I don't use nearly as much liquid yeast as I used to, but every year I do a 4 L starter of WLP 775 for my cider/cyser and my Stirstarter plate that my cousin got me for Christmas a number of years ago does the job just fine.

For those of you with foot complaints, I gots one word for you...Birkenstocks!

A new tower for the kegerator, and some odds and ends for the process....

They look like they're wearing little Russian fur caps!!! :D

$128 sounds about right...I think it may have been a little lower for me most of the years I did the trade but I don't think we ever achieved a full cadre of brewers previously....

We'll see! [emoji6]

Wow, I'm jealous...miss not participating in this annual tradition! BTW, for those of you who commented about being worried the contents giving themselves away, don't worry (as long as you've packed them tightly); they will be fine.

I think everyone has nailed it on the head with increased control over all grain vs simplicity (and speed) when using extract. All grain is cheaper (for the ingredients), but there's increased equipment overhead initially. Like @soccerdad, the main thing with extract for me is that I...

Can't wait to hear how it turns out!

Yes. It doesn't matter when the fermentables were added... Just add the measured 10 points to your initial OG.
