The ink used on the bottles will dissolve in mineral spirits generally after a few minutes. My father owns a screen printing business and I spent a few years printing labels on bottles for a vodka and an absinthe distillery so I know the inks on them. Mineral Spirits are what we use to clean the...

Hey man, my brother-in-law is a state-sponsored grower out in Colorado and I think we'd both be interested in how this turns out. When it's done, or when you have more information on it, I'd really like to hear about it. Thanks.

Awesome thread. Subscribed.

Welcome to the forums. I actually recently moved from just north of Tampa. I love that area, it just got way too hot during the summers. Anyways, we'll see you around here I'm sure. :mug:

5 Gallons of Kolsch and 5 Gallons of Stout make for 10 gallons for me so far. (not counting all the mead I've got going) 20953.5

Hey guys, I'm writing a paper for my Purchasing and Cost Control class on the process of oxidation in wine and it's negative side effects and I need some more material to cite and figured that you all would likely be a wellspring of knowledge that I could draw on. So, to that end, would anyone...

It is a great city. I used to live in the Garden District years ago and am actually looking at moving back in a year or so after school and opening a bar. :ban:

Personally I like Big Easy Brewing. Also, I live in PA and we have a large brewery called Iron City up here so if you go with Steele City I think people may get it confused easily.

G.O.A.T.'s Brews (I've got a friend at my art school working on the logo right now) I started up a shop a while back where I sold a bunch really random things that me and the SWMBO make. We're both into a lot of random things and the shop started carrying everything from gaming supplies, to...

Ok, so, I decided to brew up my first and second batches of mead tonight after having looked thru the forums for a while. I started with making a 1g batch of J.A.O.M. and followed the recipe exactly. It turned out great, started bubbling away happily within a few minutes. SWMBO was really...

Hey guys, I'm gathering ingredients to make the caramel apple mead from the recipe section and had a quick question. I know I don't want my juice to have any perservatives or random addatives, but should I be looking for an unpasteurized version or does that not matter. And sorry for any...

One thing I'd like to bring to the table here, I custom engrave glassware for people and sell it at conventions and the like. I've tried the armour-etch and other etching creams and I'm not that happy with the long term results. When you acid-etch glasses the etched area tends to wear down after...

Three simple rules for life: 1. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. 2. When life gives you hemlock, don't make hemlock-ade. 3. Always know the difference between a lemon and a hemlock. :D

So, it's been more than a few days; what were the results after carbonating?

Personally I did a lot of the math before I started brewing just to see what sort of investment I was in for and considering my taste in beers it seems that it's pretty much always cheaper to do home brew, especially since most things I drink tend to be anywhere from $80 - $175 a case.

I'm not an engineer but I am a culinary student who's planning to open a bar once I graduate. :mug:

Awesome. Thanks for the quick replies everyone. That was way faster than I expected. I'll leave everything alone for at least a week to see how it's coming along.

Ok, so I brewed my first batch ever last night trying for a Brewer's Best Kolsh beer. It all went really well and I was really happy with everything until I was moving it into my fermentation bucket. For whatever reason the airlock didn't want to fit into the rubber gasket but I got it on after...

I went to South Hills Brewing to pick up some of my initial supplies. The guys I talked to were really knowledgeable and answered most my questions before I could even ask them. I also went by Triangle Supplies in the Strip District because it's a mile from both my house and school and the owner...
