    Accidental experiment

    I hadn't fermented anything in a while, so I had the itch. Went to Whole Foods and bought 2 gallons of Mrs Gooch's whole cider. Doesn't say whether it's pasteurized, but I assume it is. Took the jugs home, opened the caps for a few minutes, reasealed and shook the crap out of them. Did this...

    Obligatory "First AG brew" thread

    I chose BM's Co3C as my jumping off point. Over the summer and fall I collected 2 50l kegs, a 10g Rubbermaid cooler and all the fittings and thermometer. Single infusion/batch sparge. Hit all my numbers dead on without having tried all that hard. (I was more interested in finding out how my...

Ferm temps got a lil warm, as we had a heat wave while it was going. It tastes like a hefe. My hefe drinking...

    Happy Repeal Day from AZ!

    So there I was, talking to a friend of mine about wanting to homebrew. He mentions he used to and still had a 5gal carboy in his garage and would I like to have it. Would I!? Fast forward nearly 3 years and 3 moves and I've finally commited myself to have a batch in the carboy by year's end...
