    Retired in Kentucky

    Hi, I've been a member here since 2006 or so, but life happens. I used to brew some with a Mr. Beer kit and never seemed to graduate from that. Now that I'm retired and have more time I got a five gallons bucket set-up and I just opened my first bottle of Block Party Amber (Northern Brewer Kit)...

    Watermelon Mead

    I'm no pro and I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong, but for a gallon I would try 3 lbs Honey, a yeast starter, and water. Let that ferment until the bubbles quit and give it a few days, then add about 16-20 oz of juiced watermelon for a secondary.

    Cheapest Way To Make Cider

    I like experimenting and doing things on the cheap sometimes just to see if it can be done, lol. I thought your experiment was rather clever. I agree with the comments about the food grade buckets you can get at Lowe's, you spend a lot more on the container than necessary. The only thing I can...

    Hard Lemonade

    My first brew was a hard lemonade, I got the recipe on the net, bought the ingredients and put it all together, after fermentation it went down the drain. My second brew was a modification, and it was passable with perhaps to much pucker power, after that I made some beer, then another batch of...

    Pony bottles

    If you can get to Cincinatti, you can get Little Kings for about 10.00 a case, they are 7 oz, and they are twist off. My daughter brought me a case last weekend, I love 'em.

    HI from London, Kentucky

    Thanks for the welcome, in case anyone was wondering, my hard lemonade was a disaster, now I'm even more determined to make beer

    No smoking debate

    My humble opinion, I think the owner of the restaraunt or bar should make the choice and be required to post it on the door. Let the market conditions sort it out. Most of this came about becuase the non smokers wanted to sit with the smokers because the smokers were having more fun, then they...

    HI from London, Kentucky

    Hello everyone, I've never tried homebrew before, but I've always been interested. Right now I have a batch of "hard lemonade" fermenting, which is what piqued my interest, but its not quite the same. I like German beers, Lagers, and no, or low alchohol beers. (for drinking everyday)
