Not for me. I'll stick to guac. https://www.health.com/food/no-you-shouldnt-start-eating-avocado-seeds

Personally, instead of buying that many yeast packs, I'd just brew a 5 gal lager and use the yeast from that. I only do 5 gal batches but don't see how that wouldn't work out.

I use a paint strainer bag I first soak in sanitizer that hangs in corney halfway down. I don't put more than one marble in as it could lead to an airleak with the dental floss I use coming out the lid.

Long time ago, someone threw out in trash a 20 lb empty tank for a different gas. I picked it up and took it to a gas supplier and apparently it was worth money. He gave me a free 5 lb co2 tank. I also found a corney keg I still use that was tossed out. This was from the demolition of a building...

If beer tastes ok I'd drink it, but wouldn't reuse the yeast. Happened to me brewing my first Kolsch. Somehow a beetle got in primary.

I like cranking it by hand. Good PT for post op shoulder surgery.

Mashing in now for last 2 brews of the year. An English ale with SO4 and DIPA with Verdant. My first try last brew I did 2 weeks ago using Verdant when kegging, I was surprised at how much it brought out the Amarillo and Zappa I used near the end. Like Amarillo on steroids. I'm not a big fan of...

Brewed an IPA using Verdant for first time yesterday. My to go Juice yeast got infected after many brews. Zeus, Comet 60 Cascade 20 Amarillo 5 Zappa whirlpool Fermenting nicely today.

Are they for sale to the public now?

Brewed 2 brews yesterday, and realized my thermometer broke when heating up first mash. Had to guess so went ahead and dumped the grain then to HD to get a digital thermometer which was pretty descent. I was only off a degree. Next problem was too much wort for a West coast DIPA. Damn near the...

I've made 3 batches of spruce ale over the years in the spring with fresh new tip growth from a Norway spruce. First one was overpowering to me using 4 oz at 15 end of boil. Very limey taste. Last one I made recently, I used only 2 tips at 15 and the taste is there but more in balance with the...

Brewing up a Red English ale, might throw in some spruce tips since the tree has them out now. And a Red DIPA. To get ready, had to bottle and transfer last night, my least favorite part of brewing. But 2 brews I last made and had a chance to taste out of primary, a DIPA with Enigma at 7 min...

Seems like a great thing for hiking. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11802427/POWDERED-beer-created-German-firm-slash-cost-pint.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton

Some birds seem to be eating them, so make a bird friendly area with scrubs, etc.

I'm in Pa in Chester co and the hops that produce best for me are cascade, centennial, magnum and nugget. I have sterling that grows well but hardly any hops. Zeus at times was good but not now. Goldings and northern brewer didn't survive. That's before lantern flies. Couple years ago when it...

I wonder what/if new types will be available to the public this year.

Brewed a couple strong ones just before shoulder surgery 2 days ago. They'll be fine in a long primary probably 2 months.

I love Amarillo. Wish I could get some roots.

I got one of these and it works pretty nicely. https://www.morebeer.com/products/beer-line-cleaning-brush-14-36.html
