Wing capper in nearly new condition for $10. Will throw in a case of clean bottles. Local pickup in "Downriver" area of Detroit metro.

I posted this in the Michigan Mashers section and Revvy suggested I post it over here too. I will post it in the Beginners' section as it may be a lower cost way to get into all-grain brewing for those of you presently using extract. I recently scored some great garage sale finds and needed...

I found a prostitute who charges by the inch. Obviously, I can't afford her, but I thought some of you HBTers might enjoy a cheap night out. What! I was only thinking of you.

In Ken Schramm's, The Compleat Meadmaker, there is a five-gallon recipe of Medium Sweet Orange Blossom Mead. I am guessing this is likely similar to Lurgashall English Mead? The ingredients for the five-gallon batch are: 15 lbs orange blossom honey 4 gals water 2 tsp yeast nutrient...

Head over that way this weekend and tried to verify if NFBC is still in business. They weren't listed in the Great Lakes Brew News and couldn't find them on the internet. Anyone know? SWMBO really likes Gritstone.

What company makes the .5 micron stainless steel air stone? I have googled it and see which brew supply stores sell them, but who makes them? Hopefully one of you has the original packing with a name on it. Thanks.

Have been about the forums a bit already, so time finally to introduce ourselves -- Gary and Leeanne -- “BooneDocks Brewery” -- Gary is the one on HBT. You likely can guess the last name and, no, it’s not Docks. We have been enjoying craft beers for probably 15 years and are regulars at...

Making my second extract batch, an IPA. I used dry yeast on my first amber batch and this time I am trying a White Labs California Ale Yeast WLP001. I didn't have any handy dry extract so I just made my starter like I did for the dry yeast -- a pint of boiled water and a couple teaspons of...

I have my first ever batch of beer in the fermenter. Today I thought I scored a great deal on a capper (but I have never owned nor used a capper). When I got it home, it didn't crimp the cap. I have uploaded some pics (my first try in doing that too -- hope that went better than the capper)...

I am brewing my first ever 5 gal batch. I bought a recipe/ingredients from my local homebrew store with specialty grain, liquid malt and bittering and finishing hops. After steeping (with a grain bag) and boiling, I put my pot in an ice batch. I only peeked in enough to check temp. At end of...
