    Anyone here tried Freeze Distillation/Ice Beer?

    Yes. Yes they are. I heard the RIAA goes to every persons house with bit torrent and tazes them. $250,000 dollars for illegal reproduction.

    How good is your beer? (really!)

    I only read page one so if the thread has evolved Im sorry to confuse everybody. I dont feel my beers come close to the top commercial micros. I do however really enjoy drinking them and when others drink them I think they perceive them as being "better" becuase they know you made it and it...

    Trapped without a pint glass

    Sealed scotch so you dont break open container laws. Not a bad idea. Note to self: Glove box is my new liqeour cabinet.

    Trapped without a pint glass

    I keep a glass in my car frequently due to my friends never having proper glassware or even adequete glassware. If I go to a party and it's byob I will bring a glass with me then take it home with me. I hate solo cups even worse then drinking out of the bottle. Moral of the story. Wrap a pint...

    Gueuze: Venturing beyond my "comfort zone"

    Gueuze is actually a blend of different lambic style aged different amounts of time (1,2,3 years). I have been wanting to learn how to do lambics and sours. I think its another level of power over the smallest things on the planet to make tasty drinks. Try it! Make sure to take pictures of...

    1st time brewing question

    I would add them all. You have them so why not. It might not be an "extra pale ale" but it should be awesome.

    Things I learned going from Home to Nanobrewer...

    In Brewing up a Business Sam said that the failure rate for brewpubs is a lot lot less than restaurants becuase the beer brings in so much extra money on top of the food. It's higher profit margin etc. I paraphrased, probably poorly but it makes sense to me. A restuarant can support itself...

    Immersion Chiller Advice...

    I stir a lot just try not to make bubbles or aerate it becuase it can cause hot side aeration which produces oxidation. I stir frequently and gently. You do not want to cover it. DMS evaporates out of the wort and if you cover it it will build up (correct me if Im wrong). If you are using a...

    Temperature control (outdoors)

    I have a temp control but it is only to keep the freezer from staying on and freezing my beer. I think it will be fine since its starting to warm up. I checked the temp in the freezer last night and it was like 57 when it was really cold out so I think it will be okay.

    Temperature control (outdoors)

    I currently have a deep freezer on my back patio used to control temp on my ales. It is getting down to 47 at night here in Florida and I want my beers at 65 degrees. Do you think that the exothermic reaction of fermentation and the insulating properties of the freezer would keep the beers in...

    Want to buy faucets.

    I have 5 but they are really old and I couldnt get the fittings off to take them apart so I dont know if you would be interested but I can send you pics if you PM your email. I will sell them cheap since they are unknown condtion on the inside although none of them are seized, they all open and...

    Attn: Brewers In Florida

    I am not the best brewer and dont know everything about home brewing but I feel that I could run a better business than hearts. I dont know how you could be bitter about this hobby. I am almost giddy when anybody has a question about brewing.

    Attn: Brewers In Florida

    "Just brew it" in Jacksonville Florida has always been helpful and I love giving them my business. I lived in Jacksonville and moved to Orlando and absolutely hate Hearts home brew. Been in there 4 times and every single time the guy was so short with me. If I wanted to browse he chewed me out...

    Did I get a bad bottle of Delirium Tremens?!?!

    Both of the bottles I have purchased had these snowflate like floaties. One had tons and was cloudy from how much was floating around the other had 10-15 in it. I am pretty positive its just the yeast from the bottle breaking up and coming out when you pour. The bottle I had that was full of...

    20 LB CO2 Tank

    Be careful getting a deal on a 20lbs tank. I bought one in the orlando area and it was a coke tank. I took it to a couple places in the area and they wouldn't fill it because it is property of coke. Kinda like the keg controversy. I cant decide what I want to do now. One of the co2 guys told me...

    Ommegang Brewery Belgians, part of Duvel

    I just ordered a three philosophers at my local liquor store and look forward to trying it. To read reviews and critiques of beers check out beeradvocate.com. I dont know if you knew about it already but I think everybody that loves good beer should be familiar with that site.

    I am pretty much the luckiest person ever

    Hurry up and brew a bunch of beer before he changes his mind. That is an great opportunity. The only difference between borrowing and owning is that you cant sell it. I dont think you would plan on selling it if you owned it anyway.

    Bottling

    I do the oven method but instead of leaving them in for 3 hours I just do 1 hour. I did rinse with star san when I first started but find it easier to fill the oven and forget about them. Plus I dont make as much of a mess with the oven.

    Eddy Worts Apple Feeny - 3lbs of corn sugar ok?

    If you have never made apfelwein before, I recommend 2 lbs. If you have two carboys well then do one with 2lbs and one with 3lbs and let us know how it turns out. The extra sugar would require a longer aging time but I dont see what else it could hurt. Give it a shot and come back in a year and...
