Mine fermented to 1.008, but it certainly isnt 'clear.' Bottling tomorrow hopefully! I tasted it, and it has a nice apple taste to it even now, but im hoping the juice i use to prime with (not sure yet..) adds to it!

I just threw a gallon of this in last night.. kindof excited to see how it turns out in 6 months :(

Will this make me live to 100 or 110? No really, I think I will try making this very soon.

Thanks! For the record, I did search. Must have the wrong keywords ;)

Im looking for a method of storing my six packs of bottles, full or empty. Basically, I want to get a bunch of the boxes that hold Four- six packs of beer, the same kind companies use to ship them, except blank.. I cant get them from the package store or bars because they use them for their own...

Sweet!! Dear Santa........ :ban:

Hello.. After Homebrewing beer for a while, I'd like to get into Wine, also... I see these "Upgrade kits" at AHS, but Im curious if that is a 'permanent' upgrade.. I would still like to make beer. It seems one would just need a larger fermenter, a corker and corks, and wine bottles...

Hah thats what he says! Beeradvocate gave it somewhat mixed but mostly bad reviews.. but for some reason my buddy thought it was good so I told him I'd look for a recipe and see what I can do.. maybe a half-batch or something.. no luck so far :(

Hey guys, My buddy came across this: Brewer Patriot Collection - 1790 Root Beer Brew - Boston Beer Company (Samuel Adams) - BeerAdvocate and was wondering if anyone has come up with an extract recipe for this beer. I tried the search function but all I got were soda related ones...

Well 3 weeks in bottles has passed (That makes 1.5 weeks Primary, 3 weeks secondary, and 3 weeks bottles total..) That beer is pretty dang tart.. but very, very good.. I haven't given any away yet but I definitely will be, and ill let you know what people think. I will definitely warn them...

Yes! After 2 weeks in primary, I put another in the fridge, and tasted it.. Let me just say, if this were eBay, I would be writing something like.. "GREAT PRODUCT FAST SHIPPING WILL DO BUSINESS AGAIN A+++++++" Awesome recipe dude!

I used priming sugar too. I tasted it before I bottled it.. it was VERY tangy.. but im excited to try it. 2-3 more weeks baby!

I poured one cup at a time into my secondary, but I lost count at either 4 or 5.. so I poured in another 1/2 cup.. so I either ended up with 4-1/2 cups or 5-1/2 cups.. either way it looks really red and really delicious!

One more week in secondary :)

Here's a picture of the first day in secondary, already bubbling (about every 10 seconds..) Looks delicious!

Okay! The blender and paint strainer worked GREAT! Here's a few pictures of the racking... Sorry about all the crap in the background, it was a last minute decision to take pics lol.

I did get a seedless one. I tried blending a piece of watermelon last night, and i tried to run it through my funnel/strainer combo, and it clogged almost immediately. perhaps the strainer was too fine.. ill try a paint strainer! thanks!

Cool! I checked gravity last night, it was at 1.010 (at 76ish degrees, so.. Im pretty sure its right on.) Ill check it again tonight, and again on Friday and hopefully rack to secondary on Friday. Ben, can you tell me your exact procedure for getting the watermelon juice? Thanks. Im gonna use...

ive been checking it every day, and today (a week later..) its still giving me a few bubbles every 15 seconds or so, and theres still some hop sludge at the top of my fermentor.. so im gonna wait a few more days and check the gravity. looks great though.

Lots of airlock activity last night and this morning.. Decent krausen with some hop sludge in it, definately lots of movement in the betterbottle (which i am now in love with, by the way..) I really love the color so far and the grains smelled amazing as i was steeping.. I have pretty high...
