    Newfoundland, St. Johns area beers?

    Anyone have some suggestions? I was in ontario and montreal earlier this week. Probably make it to quebec too and possibly labrador. I did not prefer the alexander keiths they seem to have every where

    Cheap and easy degasser

    Hi All, I usually let my meads or wines sit for a year to naturally degass. This can really tie up a carboy and recently I looked into different ways to degass my meads and wines. Vacuum sealers are fairly expensive but there are some which are handheld that are cheaper. I finally found one...

    I had a dream last night.

    I went to an event for one of my friends, it was a celebration of sorts and I can't remember for what. Anyway, they had an open beer bar and it was BMC except for one 4 gallons keg of some dogfish head 120 IIPA, which was 20%. I actually have never seen this beer, but someone mentioned it on...

    Very low acidic mandarin oranges

    I have some very very sweet mandarin oranges which are almost overly ripe, not quite though. I am wondering if anyone has advice for making a mead with these. I have 10lbs and would make 5 gallons of mead. I have heard oranges can be too acidic but these are very mild.

    Blueberry Apple Cider

    For this cider I followed the GRAFF recipe in the cider section. I changed it a bit by not using hops, and subbing 1 gallon apple juice for 1 gallon blueberry juice ($24, stupid expensive for one gallon). I did not want the balance to tart the slight bitter hops add, I wanted the tart of the...

    Vanilla bean potency and pairing

    Any reccomendations on which kind of cherry to pair with some nice long 7" beans? I could go with Bing cherries, or tart cherries....what say ye? I was thinking the tart cherries would make a great small mead, say 8% or so. 5 gallon batch. 6 lbs of tart cherries 6 lbs of OB honey...

    Discount Store had LME

    Score! They had 2 buckets, Skou tipped me off so I left one for him. 60lbs of amber LME $50. Can't beat that. Out of all places, a discount grocery store. On a side note, they had all the sauces from Rubios, Chili's, applebees, etc.... Chili's honey BBQ sauce is the tangy love...

    Graff (Malty, slightly hopped cider)

    For all non-scientific beerology purposes, this is a cider. (I know, I know....but its got hops in it!) Jay Huff and his apple bee got me started on some experiments and this is what I have come up with. I noticed Ed's Apfelwein tasted super hoochy until it was about a year old. When...

    Towing calculation help.

    I looked and the only formula I could find assumed a weight distributing hitch. I don't have a weight distributing hitch. I have tongue load and distance from hitch ball to rear axle (leverage/rear overhang) and I need to know how many pounds the tongue load is putting on the rear axle...

    And I still don't have a hangover

    I'm sure it won't be this way forever, my liver must still be in good working condition. Drank homebrew starting about 1pm and brewed some hobgoblin. Stopped drinking homebrew around 8pm and started with the clear bacardi and OJ. Threw in one miller high life at the neighbors house and came...
