I second Mainbrew, They can set you up with all that you need & they have great customer service.

Freezing the cherries will break the cell walls and better allow the Cherrie flavor to get into your beer.

I use stevia (Target has a generic version(Market pantry)), and for us, it takes 2 cartons (9.8 oz each) of the stevia to sweeten a 5 gallon keg of root beer for our kids. I force carbonate, so not an issue of fermenting. Hope this helps.

I use a 1 gallon plastic bag after I open it, as well. I keep it in a cabinet in the garage with my other brewing supplies. Have not had it get hard there.

This is a total guess, maybe a pint or just enough to get it mixed into a simple sugar solution & cool, then add to fermentor.

If you just want to add the sugar because it was missed before, you could boil it in some water, cool, then add it to fermentor. As previously mentioned, will alter hop profile, however if it was supposed to be there in the first place, should be okay, right? I know on Brew strong they talk...

Will be brewing this on Friday. Look forward to everyone else's results. Brewing 10 gallons. Using 2L starter (or whatever MrMalty.com rec's) for first 5 gallons, and then 2 (think MrMalty.com said 2.7 vials) vials for 2nd 5 gallons. Will be interesting to see how the 2 different one's turn out.

Will be building one this weekend, in anticipation of brewing a Firestone Walker Union Jack clone next Friday (care of Can You Brew It). Will definitely help with decreasing the hop sludge!

Thanks for asking this ? cimirie, as I have my CPVC manifold sitting in my cooler, ready to have holes/slits cut into it and is on hold until I determine which route to go :-)

They look great. Thank you for doing this.

homebrewer _99, correct that is designed for the keg...the link from HangGlider was what I was trying to find & what I originally had in mind.

I have seen another product like this one (very similar to this design, but narrow enough to fit in carboy) that hangs in the middle of the carboy. Sorry, cannot seem to find it on the web or in my Zymurgy magazine, maybe it was in BYO's magazine? Seems like the hops would have pretty good...

I agree with Nurmey said. I built it as per the directions and the nipple came out nice and tight (and fit snugly through the pre-drilled hole). Not one leak and i've used it numerous times since having build it. I use the bazooka screen and it works like a dream. Tried the stainless braid at...

I give them to a coworker and she feeds them to her chickens. She can't use all of them, so I bake some into bread...the rest either go in my large ( 1/2 barrel) planters or into neighbors compost pile. Bryon

Please post how your rootbeer turns out, and whichever recipe you decide to use. Would love to brew some up for my family.
