Mine hates beer, hates brewing. She says the hops smell like weeds to her. So I tell her, I've got a batch I'd like to brew in the next couple of days. Probably take me about four hours or so. She gets on the phone with a sister or girlfriend, sets up a shopping date, and I brew while she's...

She does her thing, like bingo, I do my thing, like homebrew. As long as the bills get paid, neither of us ******* about what the other does with the extra money.

Welcome from Nine Mile Falls. Do you know we have a local brew club right here in Spokane? Here's our Facebook link. http://https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/145287885506213/

You can let that thing sit for 28 days and you'll still end up with some of that. Less than what you've got now, but it'll still be there. Nothing to worry about. Time to quit peeking at it and let it do its thing. :-)

The saying goes, If you've never failed, then you've never tried anything. Sorry to hear bout the troubles man. Time to think about the next brew day.

That is so neat. More pets need families like you guys around.

Even if you take the gun out of the conversation, pursuing him because you were pissed and wanted a confrontation in front of your pregnant wife was stupid. In this day and age I'm sure you have a cell phone and I'm positive it can dial 911. And if you're in law enforcement that should've been...

I'm old enough to remember Billy Beer. No matter how bad MmmmHop is, it won't be the worst beer in the history of the world.

Is it canned LME? If so you can put just a tiny bit of vodka on top (just enough to cover the LME), cover it with saran wrap and rubber band the wrap on and pop it in the fridge. The vodka is just a bit of extra insurance in case anything sneaks in through the saran wrap. Just like putting...

Love AHS and Midwest and MoreBeer over any of the BB kits. The instructions were great with the BB kit, but you are strapped in to the kit. At least when you get a custom kit from one of the guys I listed you can change the yeast, sometimes even the amount of priming sugar, leave off the caps...

No, no one from Jim's is in it. Matter of fact, most of us have been kind of put off by Jim's and get most of our stuff on line. There's also a new place in CDA called Make Wine Make Beer that a couple guys have gone to. Our club's very informal. Only a meeting once a month or so. Most of...

He did mention hand capper in the OP, and I've tried with a hand capper on twisties just to see. I couldn't get it done. I can't recall hearing of anyone getting it done. I have heard of it being done with a bench capper, but not a wing.

No. They won't seal properly on the threads.

Welcome from Nine Mile Falls!! Do you know about our club here in Spokane? IBU...Inland Brewers Unite.

This morning I bottle the Dunkel and cleaned everything off. After the oxyclean soak it's all drying now and tomorrow morning I'll be re-filling the fermenter with the Apocolypso I got from AHS.

I have a carboy cleaner, but would love to have one for a friend of mine who's a new brewer. He's a little overwhelmed by some of the start up prices. Since I'm more than a little anal about people using my equipment, I help him out by cleaning his carboy. Help me stop doing his work!

I'm bumping this up just for my two cents worth. I did a Dunkel with Danstar. OG was 44 and the thing stalled out on me at 20 after two weeks. That's only the second time I've used Danstar and both times it wouldn't finish for me. It's time for me to re-think using Danstar. Fourty+ dollars...

My son is type 1, and he can drink if he watches himself. Tests constantly, monitors everything. We'll go to a hockey game and have a couple. You're gonna have to keep a close eye on how much you drink and what you're eating when you drink. Talk to your doctor, educate yourself, but in the...

Another thing is that with Mr Beer, things like the Stout have the hops in the extract. By boiling it, you'll change the hop profile of the HME. If I were you, I'd boil the DME, do your hop additions, then mix in the Mr Beer HME in the last couple minutes.

My son got one of those tickets when he was a senior in high school. Not only did his puny McD's paycheck go entirely to his ticket, he got the embarassment of riding that particular bus after daddy here took away the keys to the car. I think he was the only senior on the bus for that entire...
