Do they make a plastic bottle box? When you buy a case of bottles it comes in a cardboard case. I'm looking for one that holds 12oz bottles but is plastic. ?? thanks jake

put "Basura" on a pile of trash so it can be taken out by the cleaning staff at night? You would think that in the process of living in a foreign country that you would learn simple words and phrases pertaining to basic living and work. I put "Trash" on a pile, huge pile of boxes and...

I'm bottleing a English Pale ale tomorrow morning in preparation for the brew day. The reason I'm bottling tomorrow is because I'd like to toss my new batch on top of the yeast in the bottom of the fermenter thats going to be empty. 1. After bottleing, do I need put the yeast in a...

I've been reading "Designing Great Beers" and while I'm making progress, skipped ahead to the Stout section in the back. It appears my recipe doesn't include barley at all, which is mentioned in almost all the descriptions. Can I even call this a stout then? 12lbs 2 row 1.5 lbs...

I have a 12volt cordless drill that I was hoping to run my mill with. However last nights small test worked for about 3 seconds and then jammed. The torque just isn't there. Any suggestions on a corded drill that will work? I was looking online and found this at the HD. DeWalt 3/8 In...

I meant to pickup Flaked Oats this weekend and while in the store accidentally picked up flaked Wheat instead. Can I still use this in my chocolate Stout to add more body etc...?? I don't think I can make it back to the store by brew day as I'm off work around the time the stores near me...

My previous job to this was IT (still is). I went to lunch for over 8 years at the same time, that being 11am-12pm. At my new job i'm to go at 12-1. Today my brain, at an otherwise uneventfull/no brains required IT job, sees 11:21 and I said to myself "**** I'm late going to lunch"... so I...

I did an extract batch this weekend and didn't think I needed the false bottom. I mean what is it going to catch really? When I bought it I planned on just using it when I do the all-grain mashing. Anyway... I was being lazy and just left it in the kettle when I did my full extract boil...

I dropped some beer in the ferm and placed carboy in my igloo yesterday. I pitched the yeast after the temp dropped to about 70ish and then filled the chest half way with water and ice and two bottles filled with frozen water. The temps as I'm switching out the bottles during the day...

I'm pretty much settled on this one but was curious if anyone has/had any experience with it? I know nothing about grain mills but this one seems pretty beefy and reads pretty good on the site. I was going to drop 100 bones on a BC but don't mind dropping a little extra if it will be...

The first was an American Ale from morebeer. The carbonation was good, head was good, color was good. The taste however was good right up until after the swallow. It has a slight soapy aftertaste of sorts. The second beer was a Dunkelweizen and it's fine as of the last "uncarbonated"...

I am short on space at home according to my GF. Sooo I was considering geting a grain mill and mounting it to the underside of a home depot orange bucket. The mill would be mounted on the side of the lid close to the side of the bucket so the shaft for the drill would stick through the side...

When going for the bitterness hops, does it matter what you use as long as you get within the range for a style? Say I have Nugget Hops (which i do) at 13%AA and Cascade at 5.5%AA. I want to add bittering hops so I can use the Nugget hops and therefore use less than if I used the Cascade...

Say I make my batch of Golden Pale Ale, get my volume for the boil collected in buckets, dump my grain into a clean bag and save that off to the side. I finish my process and jug it, pitch yeast and clean up... Can I go back, drop that grain into the mashtun/kettle and repeat the process...

We'll skip to the good stuff. I need 7.5 gallons to start off with and will have about 5 at the end. /begin drinking previously made homebrew 1- place false bottom on kettle, add 1.25qts/lb (water/grain) to kettle (roughly estimated at 4 gallons - 12lbs of grain) 2- bring to about 170...
