I make the Alton Brown recipe alot... I think they are great! Make the dough, shape, then boil in a boiling baking soda/water bath. Coat with Egg wash and sprinkle salt. bake, then eat hot right out of the oven. My kids never like hot pretzels at parades, games, until I made these... Now...

Man... I never thought of using a drill pump to "feed" the chiller. I have tried using a small cheap pump from Harbor freight, but I think it was too underpowered. I have a couple drill pumps laying around (from my boat) and it never dawned on me to swipe it for brewing.... Revvy to the...

cool, just thought I was going nuts. I did the same, buried them (in the center), mulched, then ran my lines. Then they come up a little ways away. Just thought it was crazy for first year bines.

Got a question for the seasoned growers out there. Has anyone noticed first year bines coming up away from where the rhizome was planted? I have some Zeus, Cascade and Centennials that were all planted in the center of my planting circles (over 18 inches diameter) and added mulch on top...

I use only milk as well, the key is to use laserjet printing, since there is nothing to bleed. Toner vs ink.

Yeah, I just figured I better notify the homebrewing world of my discoveries. Do you think my Ruination clone that I just bottled will have the same physiological effect? This makes homebrewing even better!

Ok, I just wanted to add my new found scientific discovery of homebrew. After sampling several of my homebrews and Apfelwein's this past weekend, my head started getting fuzzy, and my reactions slowed. After some very scientific experiments this week (hydrometer usage, internet research...

cool! That's what I thought. I've been trying to decide if I want to mess with my propane turkey fryer to try to convert it to NG, but if I can just get the new burner and a valve, that is probably a better option

aj, could you explain what you had to buy for a NG setup? Between the burner, valve, gas hose (I have a ng gas disconnect for a grill outside). Do you have to do any other tweaking/conversion to get it to run right? I've been trying to follow the ng threads, but I'm not sure what's the...

missed the last batch so I better update 12,117+ 2.5= 12,119.5 Then just made a 5 gallon last night finally! 12,119.5 + 5 = 12,124.5

ok, thanks... I figured it'd be no problem, but I don't remember seeing anything in this forum about it (which is surprising, cuz pretty much anything is here!). I was just curious if it affects hop utilization, important in reproducing Ruination for sure. My pre-fermentation sample tasted...

I went to a few bars in college that had Nickel Beer night. I vote Nickel Beer!

Ok, question for the AG guru's. My last batch called for a 90 minute boil which I had not done yet. My first two AG's were 60 minute boils done on very cold, but humid days. I boiled off a little over a gallon on each of the 60 minute boils, so I decided to collect about 7.5 gallons of...

I agree with you jgln... not offended at all by what I see on television, whether it is a hobby/obsession close to my heart. "Pale ale filtered through a hair drain" i thought was pretty funnyl Yes I think I make pretty good beer (as good as half the stuff on the shelves), but my first batch...

11329 + 2.5 = 11331.5

I think I'm gonna go with Blue Shed Brew Co. After spilling 5 gallons of fermented beer during a bottling mishap, I've been thrown out of the house for all things brewing... Off to my shed...

I'm doing this too... going on about a week and a half now. Decided it was finally time... I was 2 a day on my commute, but I worry more about fishin season... not craving it on the drive so I guess thats good. I have a few more months before fishing and hangin on my boat, so hopefully I'll...

Following Orfy's progression, I did one Mr. Beer Batch, then two extract and steeping grains recipes, skipped partial mashing and jumped right into All grain. the beer gets better and better as well as cheaper. Although the extract and steeping grain recipes were really good.

Last month, lost five gallons of Celebration Clone to my carpet.... THEN I was shown Revvy's Bottling tip thread... Will certainly be used on my latest batch, dip tube already made, and shortened up the bottling tubing.

I pitched that same yeast this weekend into 50 degree wort, it fermented STRONG for 2 days after taking about 24 hours to get going. My last two brews i've kept on the lower fermentation temps and they have tasted phenomenal. I wouldn't worry.
