    Favorite lyric from a song.

    WOW, I can't believe it's not here. EVERY teenagae male felt this way in 79' She's your adolescent dream, Schoolboy stuff, a sticky sweet romance. And she makes you want to scream, Wishing you could get inside her pants. So, you fantasize away. And while you're squeezing her, you thought you...

    Woodchuck fall cider

    Sampled a bottle with a friend. It's starting to look like a good cider. It still has some aging to do. The pie spices are subtle. But, finally coming throw. My friend could tell me the taste (spices) without being told they were there. For my first cider and being a strong one. I'm pleased with...

    BIAB Basket sits too high... how to retain heat?

    Did the basket fit properly before the mod's to the kettle?? Looking at the 82q i don't see any feet on this basket. Could they have sent the wrong basket? http://bayouclassicdepot.com/1182_stainless_steel_stock_pot.htm I've been looking at the 44q from BC. After reading this thread. I'm a...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Double Chocolate Oatmeal Snout

    OK, just sampled this with a blackberry addition. #1 of berries per gallon. Very tart flavor when compared to the other half with no berries. Much drier in flavor and more of a wine like in taste. Was hoping for a little purple in the head. Nope. I'd say so far a swing and a miss. Maybe with...

    How could I use an old breast pump for homebrewing tasks? (srsly)

    That gives a new meaning to mouth feel for lactose. Remember pump to perfection

    Woodchuck fall cider

    With you mead, Do the flavors just take time to come throw? At the time i was worried that i had put way to much into the mix. From reading around here. I kept reading that time would bring the flavors out. Again this was my first attempt at making not only cider. But brewing anything. but, we...

    Woodchuck fall cider

    I have some in champagne and in 12oz bottles. Ya i fear the bottle bombs. I haven't done a gravity test in a while. But, the carb'ing is a little on the light side. But, very nice. It just has to age. Being new when i made it. I had no clue how hot it was going to taste. I learned a great...

    Just got my custom mash paddle, check it out

    How well do paddles hold up?? With the moisture and absorption, I'd think they would swell and crack. On the other side, I bet they look cool from the natural staining of the wort.

    Woodchuck fall cider

    Being new when i made this. I thought it would be ready to drink fairly quickly. With the high ABV, It's going to have to sit a WHILE to mellow out. We tried it 2 weeks ago. It's getting better. But, has a way to go. I've just put it into storage to age. The pie spice still isn't very strong. It...

    Help! BIAB first attempt, way too much wort

    look's like you have the per-boil wort from hell. Short time brewing. But, couldn't you evap it down? 1.5g per hour will take some time to do. I read on a thread some were about doing that with 15g down to 6g for a barley wine.
