I'm in!

The older trees weren't really an option at the time. Around here everyone has citrus, not a lot of appletrees along the sidewalks.

Thought I would give a 1 year update in case someone else ends up looking for similar info. I ordered 5 trees from treesofantiquity.com on M111 rootstock. Kingston Black, Newtown Pippin, Pink Lady, Wickson, and Niedzwetzkyana. Each was cut to under 4'. I put in a drip that broke mid summer and...

5 gallons in primary 347.5 + 5 = 352.5

Pink Lady, Kingston Black, and Braeburn as a late-season pollinator? That would give me fresh, cider, and baking apples in a few years. If I find more space, I can add a crab next year. I didn't see Centennial or Rescue at the nursery I'm planning to use. It looks like M111 rootstock is the goto...

Fresno, California. <45F is recorded at 650-1200 hours, normal about 900hrs. Breaching freeze temps is maybe 50 hours on avg. Our occassional frost warnings measure in hours for the citrus farmers near harvest. Long Summers hit 100+ with regularity. Yooper, I'll look into those crabapples as well.

I'm been looking through russets for zone 9 and the Arkansas Black. Most of these need a cross-polinator, so I'm trying to find a good season match to Pink Lady. It looks like King David (related to the Arkansas) might be a good match. Trees of Antiquity carries all three if my local nursery...

I'll be moving into a house this fall and I want to plan for a few apple trees. I'm in zone 9 with a lot of 100F+ in the summer, and low chill winter. I want to make cider, as well as eating fresh, baking and canning. I'm thinking a Pink Lady as a favorite eating apple. A Dolgo crab or a...

Located in Fresno, CA. I'm planning for an eventual move and won't be brewing in the near future. I've got six PET carboys I bought from either morebeer or AIH. None have been used, and only one box has even been opened. Looking to get $15ea, or a reasonable offer for all of them. Shipping would...

Couldn't post from app, but I agree with zachattack. I don't normally carb from 0psi with my paintball tanks, but some short math looks like a 20oz should do 1 easily, two starts cutting it close. I found a 5lb tank that fits in my fridge for carbing, then I can take a small tank with for...

I regularly use a 20oz paintball tank with the AIH adapter and a fullsize regulator. Tanks go as small as 3.5oz and up to 24oz. If you buy a new tank, I'd spend the extra couple bucks for an on/off valve. Paintball shops refill for a few bucks, or the fittings to refill from a 20lb+ tank are...

Every one of those prizes is amazin. I'm in, and looking forward to my new Christmas present.

I agree with Aristotelian. Ask the local bar. If you're moving a lot anyway, maybe look into kegging. No bottling, no glass to break.

If it is affecting your skin, that sounds different than a celiac type reaction, so I'm just guessing at the reaction. Does regular finished beer affect your skin? If all else fails, get some awesome mad scientist gloves.

My personal experience has been that Sorghum has a noticeable flavor you have to work with instead of fighting. Search for No Nonsense Stout for one of the several good recipes. I've only brewed one AG malted rice beer, and while I didn't get it right on the first try, there is promise to it...

Can I get a code please?

Do you guys split the cost when you buy a case of BMC and count out bottles? Give him half the beer and tell him his half of the tab came out to $15. If he doesn't come up with money, you just drink his half when you're at his place, and steal the last hamburger off the grill as interest. If you...

Streaking on a petri will get you GF, slanting will probably get you close enough. About half of ECY products are blends and bugs that may not lend well to culturing from isolates at a hobby level.

Curious what would have been used. Depends how far back you want to look, and what region, too. I'm going to throw out my prediction that liquids were just poured.

http://www.norcalbrewingsolutions.com/store/index.html Malted rice (pale, biscuit, crystal, and dark), rice syrup solids, sorghum, and Belgian candi syrup. I like that the specialty malted rice can be ordered by the oz instead of 5lb bag.
