    Crypto currency

    I expect there will be regulations put into place and the government will figure out how to get as much as possible. Banks are interested in crypto currencies as I’ve stated before because it saves them money. I know there are people on both sides of this discussion (as there should be). I like...

    Crypto currency

    Again this is not financial advice but yes I am currently hold XRP. I used Coinbase to buy bitcoin then transferred it to binance to purchase XRP. Those are just the exchanges I like but there are many to choose from. I hold a couple other cryptos but they aren’t doing as well. Invest with Care.

    Crypto currency

    With Ripple the transfer of funds is much quicker and from the reading I have done the fees attached are much reduced. If banks can save money they, just like any other business, absolutely will. The Ripple currency should be very easy to convert to any other currency. So let’s say you wanted to...

    Crypto currency

    I don’t know. I can see potential from the banking industry side of this. I’m not discounting any of your opinions and I thank you for them. I agree it is kinda like a lottery or a gamble. I didn’t put more in than I am comfortable loosing but it’s going strong right now and I’m gonna ride it...

    Crypto currency

    First let me start by saying I am no expert and this isn’t looking for financial advice. I’m just curious as to opinions. Crypto currencies aren’t really a new thing but definitely a hot topic in my work place ( I’m a business banker ). I’ve heard tons of talk lately about bitcoin and XRP aka...

    Could you make a simple mead like this?

    I don’t have much experience with mead. That being said I’m probably making it harder than it needs to be. I you think crushing cranberries is a better idea then I’m all for it. How many for a gallon and do I crush them and reduce them on the stove top ? Also the yeast? Bread yeast like the...

    Could you make a simple mead like this?

    What yeast would you use? Bread yeast like in JAOM or something like Lalvin K1-V116?

    Could you make a simple mead like this?

    I was thinking of a very simple recipe of 2.5 pounds of honey, a gallon of cranberry juice and fresh ground ginger. Would this even turn out any good? It seems pretty basic. I was also thinking of making a gallon of chai tea and adding 2.5 pounds of honey and seeing how it turns out. Both seem...

    http://www.butlereagle.com/article/20171115/NEWS12/171119937 Well this is all over the news here and I’m starting to see it on national news sites. This is getting out of control

    controling temp during fermentation

    i did something similar to the chest freezers idea. I made a frame from 1 by 6 that is 2 foot by 4 foot and installed 2 70 watt light bulbs. I then put a 2 foot by 4 foot metal tray on top. This conducts the heat as well as keeps the beer away from the light. Then I put foam board sides and top...

    First Time Sparkling 'Wine'

    What about fermenting it dry then back sweeting with a non fermentable sugar to get the sweetness you want then add just enough sugar to carbonate?

    hello again my old friends

    my outlook hasn't always been positive. I got a great wife standing by my side. Some days are good some are not so good. Today is a good day. The good days are outnumbering the bad so I'll take it.

    hello again my old friends

    A few years ago I would be on here several times a day. Then life kinda happened and I fell off the homebrew wagon due to time. I have always loved homebrew and craft beers and much to my surprise my hometown got its first local brewery about a year and a half maybe two years ago. This...

    Rose water. Good idea or bad mojo?

    I've been playing with the idea of using rose water in a batch soon. I was thinking this would have to be a light flavor wine for the rose water to come through in the finish. What are the thoughts on this?

    spicy soda

    As I stated in another thread I have been growing Ghost Peppers for the last few years and I think I want to try to make a spicy soda. Not sure how this will work out. Any thoughts or suggestions? I was thinking of a spicy ginger ale or a spicy raspberry soda. I have not made many sodas at all...

    spicy wine

    A couple of years ago I started to grow ghost peppers. Not knowing what to do with them I tried a variety of different things. Some good, others not so good. One thing my dad came up with was a ghost pepper wine. He made a simple white wine and added one pepper to a bottle. Drinking this wine by...

    Thinking of trying my own soda

    I have made many beers and wines and I would like to make some of my own soda. I have always used yeast to carbonate. What I am wondering is if I used a non fermenting sugar such lactose and just used 1 cup of table sugar would I be able to bottle in beer bottles and not have to worry about...

    Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Mead

    As far as adding cinnamon to taste I'm not really sure the best way to do this. I have ground cinnamon but it seems as if everyone recommends sticks. I will go with that recommendation. How many I should I start with? If I add all the fermentables in the primary, if I understand the post from...
