I'm just looking for some results for anyone that has used blackberry puree in cider? I'm thinking about doing a batch, now that it's apple pressing season. I made blackberry wine this year so I'm burned out of picking blackberries, so I'm really interested if the puree's would/will work well...

A buddy just dropped by and game me a set of homemade glasses he made from 22oz bottles, and a bottle opener from a shell casing. I thought it was pretty cool. Not sure how he rounded the rim on the glasses, but that was considerate of him! lol

I hate news stories like these. So sad to see kids taken so soon. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people affected.

My wife has started making soap and mentioned/inquired the possibility of making our own essential oils for the soaps. My attitude was kind of "Meh" at extracting essential oils, then I thought of the hop possibilities. I haven't extracted anything since college, but just wondering if anyone...

I saw this today, New Belgium is offering either their 12oz or 16oz glasses (2pack)for $8.99 with free shipping. With each purchase, NB donates a dollar for a few non-profits you can choose from. Check it out for those of you interested...

http://medford.craigslist.org/grd/3299898403.html I haven't looked at it in person, but if this could be a brite tank that's quite a bit of volume for 900 bucks. I can't tell if it has a valve on the bottom. Or how much cleaning it would need to be food ready. Thoughts?

If anyone is in the Southern Oregon area or passing through or within driving distance and wants to have some Pliny the Elder... 4 Daughters Irish pub in Medford just tapped a keg of Pliny last night. I had a tip from my distributor buddy. So I went down for a pint.... They were only $5/ea...

Saw this pic today.. Insulating a fridge. Then I realized it was a kegorator! lol Some funny stuff on that site, just plain stupid stuff too.

Saw this on CL today. CL Wondering if it has enough capacity/throughput to work with a plate chiller. I realize these are intended for a cold water tap at your sink, and I couldn't find flow specs on this in a quick google search. Anyone use something like this?

Not wanting to toss the left over seeds and pulp from raspberry and blackberry's I put them in quart jars and add vodka. 2 months later, strain and mix as desired. What fruit/infusion have you done? Always looking for new ideas. These turn out really good, I mix with a dash of water/apply...

So I was thinking about entering a cider I've made into a local harvest fair competition this year. But according to the rules, ciders are in the amateur wine category and as such need to be submitted in standard 750ml wine bottles. Does everyone else submit their cider this way? Or do other...

Anyone going to be playing it? I've played the beta's, looking forward to the headstart. And, slightly off-topic, you gamers out there; what's your favorite beverage during game play? I usually like a strong dark beer to sip on.

I saw this today at Walmart today. You too can have a 12 MEAT thermometer for 5 bucks. It has the retaining clip on it and everything. Think I paid more than double that for one I bought at my LHBS. Has anyone used this before? If so are they accurate? Pretty sure it was made from SS...
