OK, this is new and kinda freaky. I have a small commercial soda fridge (like you see in a convenience store) and I adapted it to holds 4 kegs. Fridge was free, so it works for me! I just took out all 4 kegs. Three were fine (2 were kicked and I'm filling with more yummy goodness) but I...

I have a standard go-to hot tea mix I drink in the fall & winter. It's called Russian Tea or in some places Friendship Tea. It's an instant mix that's added to hot water & isn't alcoholic. You can see the original recipe here: http://www.food.com/recipe/russian-friendship-tea-mix-16632 I'd...

I tried a hopped cider recently and thought to myself, "Self -- this is good, let's try making one of our own!" I really wasn't sure what to do, so I just went with my gut (my gut loves simple). Kegged yesterday and, daiyy-ummm, it's good!! :drunk: Here's the recipe. Originally...

Around here, the apple farms treat their fresh-pressed cider with chemicals to prevent fermentation and, so far, I haven't found a source of a farm or facility that has a cider press that can be rented or used if you buy the apples, etc. from them. I want to blend my own apple types, so I'm...

Howdy! I was writing up my ingredients list to go out and grab stuff for a Pumpkin Wine and saw this: http://www.harpoonbrewery.com/beer/102/pumpkin-cider Tasting Notes from Harpoon's Site Appearance: Straw/light golden Aroma: Freshly pressed Northeastern Apples, traditional pumpkin pie...

Howdy! I'm planning a pumpkin wine using canned pumpkin (I can't even fathom grating 24 pounds of pumpkin meat). Fingers crossed, it will be ready to taste at Halloween or at least Thanksgiving. What I've come up with so far is a compilation of 2-3 recipes I've found here and around the...

Howdy! Am I worried for no reason? It's been approx. 96 hours since I put my hard lemonade into fermentation. I've left it alone since I pitched the yeast. This is the recipe I got from my LHB guy and what I did. Recipe: 6 cans frozen lemonade concentrate 4 lb. sugar Spring...

is there a way to make beer or a beer-like brew without grains? I'm thinking that what actually makes beer a beer is, well, grain! ;) Our family is doing Paleo and that means no grains, not even gluten-free grains (I checked). I've got a Hard Lemonade in primary and I'll be starting a hard...

Howdy! Sooooooooooo, long story short -- the family has gone Paleo which means no grains. It also means no white sugar or corn sugars, but I'll tackle that issue another day. That takes most, if not all, commercial and home brews off the menu. It doesn't bother me all that much, I've...

Howdy! I've been using this forum for years ... anytime I needed an answer I could trust, I came here. I never signed up and realized that was very anti-social of me. ;) I recently got back into brewing because our family is now going Paleo. That means no grains & no corn sugars -- that...
