    How long can purified water sit in plastic jugs?

    I have a 5 gal plastic jug (see attached pic) that I have been filling at the store right before brewing. Well, SWMBO decided that she wanted a Berkey for our drinking water. To justify (in my mind) the ridiculous cost, I want to use it for brewing. The problem is that it would take a long...

    Is this going to be a major problem?

    i would say that you might want to worry about bottle bombs. though i haven't had one yet (knock on wood), but i'm consistently worried about. someone else with more experience might be able to tell you better though

    Before I Dump Out My Stout...

    walk down to your local bar and ask the bartender if (s)he can help you out with your "problem". depending on where in the midwest you are from, i might be able to help you out. are you in cleveland or columbus (ohio)?

    Good luck and just remember to have fun. Regardless of how bad you're making it, it'll probably still be drinkable

    Cherry Cider: When and where to rack cherries?

    well, at least i'm starting to understand this whole brewing process. i guess for now i will do with dinnerstick's process, but will keep cidahmasta's process in mind for WHEN i get a kegging system. thanks for all of your help

    All Grain question

    assuming you're like me, you might need a bigger pot as well. i only have a 16 qt (4 gal) pot. the amount of grain required will take up a lot of space that you don't have to account for when doing extract. i just watched my first all grain batch on sunday. i believe he used an 8 gal pot...

    Cherry Cider: When and where to rack cherries?

    thanks for the info from both of you. one more question. i just happened to think, will steeping the cherries add fermentable sugars? i'm a bottler (no kegs, at least not yet) and fermentable sugars might turn into bottle bombs for me if i don't let it ferment. thoughts? thanks again

    Cherry Cider: When and where to rack cherries?

    Cidahmastah: if I understand you correctly, take cider out of primary (off the yeast) and then steep the cherries. my question is how long are you talking about steeping? dinnerstick: i'm assuming the frozen black cherries were thawed when added? (just making sure) Thanks for your help...

    What To Do With Possible Infected Beer?

    Verio's comment would make sense if you had been kegging, but since you weren't, I see no harm in keeping it around for a while. I'd keep it if you can. You never know how it might turn out some other time. If you really need the bottles, dump 'em and keep a couple to try later on.
