So I recently bottled my first batch of booch. I wanted a secondary fermentation, so I put pieces of ginger in the bottom of each jar and poured the tea over the top. I waited a few days, then refrigerated. The tea tastes great, but I've noticed little colorless blobs hovering around the ginger...

Vinegar eels? I've heard of them but havent seen them myself.

I recently kegged a pumpkin ale that I spiced with a tincture made of vodka and pumpkin pie spice. It's carbed up nice, but I feel it needs just a little more spice to it. Can I simply purge, pop open the lid, add a little more spiced vodka, and then hit it with gas again to serving pressure? Or...

So basically, the face that reads psi (in the tank, not serving pressure) on my dual-gauge regulator is curling up, causing the needle to become stuck in the "red" zone. Is there a way to take the face plate off the regulator so I can try to bend the dial-face back to normal (Im assuming it's...

Pretty cool, man. I have drill a few beer bottles and ran Christmas lights through them. An Arrogant Bastard bottle would look cool with some hop lights inside.

Another pic...

Here is my mash paddle....

As promised. Unfortunately, the camera on my iPad is very crappy quality.

Thanks for posting, that is absolutely beautiful. Your wife is extremely talented.

I recently picked up a wood burning tool and have been fiddling around a bit. I'm currently making a wall mounted bottle opener with a well-known craft brewery's logo on it (i will post picture as soon as I get the bottle opener attached). I also plan on making a mash paddle and burning...

Exact same thing happened to me, word for word as you described. I just dumped the whole mass of "snot" into my corney and siphoned my pumpkin beer right on top. I will find out what happens soon enough.

Anyone use a wood-burning tool to trick out the collar on their keezer? I've been searching the web forever trying to find a pic, but have yet to see one. Seems people are etching glasses and even their brew kettles, I'm surprised nobody is burning hop vines or brewery logos into their keezer...

I was in at Hobby Lobby and came across a product called Plaid Simply Screen. Basically, it's a box of silk screens that you expose to light to "burn" an image, then you squeegee ink across the screen to print the image on t-shirts and such. I figured I could use them to make stencils for glass...

Just so I understand this right. You will put it in the oven, then take it out while it's still hot and put it in the boil? The reason I ask is that you will need to re-attach the hoses which might be difficult if the chiller is hot, and assuming that it doesn't melt your hoses. I'm not sure how...

I've been eyeing these up myself. I wonder about how airtight the lid is, but obviously it must be easier to remove than a rubber bung..... I hate prying those damn things out of the top of my carboy!

Seriously? Perhaps I am overthinking it. Thanks for the quick reply BTW.

I recently acquired a new 5 gal corny keg, and I have been reading some kegging tutorials, as well as watching a few videos on Youtube. I think I've got a pretty good handle on the kegging process itself, but there is something that I still wonder about. I plan on just using a picnic tap for...
