Any ideas? On clasification?

I just moved this to secondary after placing in the primary in March of 2012. This is an amazing cider(??) !!!!! Smooooth... Very apple cider'ish with peach notes. Nothing harsh or off. It's very dry. No aftertaste period. It calculated out to 9.7%. My question... I will be entering it in...

Exact same for me. Thursday had one out and had beer last night. Already had one today. So far so good. No pain or nothing. Appears to be healing well.

Old thread but I had one taken out yesterday morn. No drinks yesterday, but im enjoying some vodka and cranberry juice now. Ive read the carbo in beer can disrupt the clot.

Ok, I'll bite. Trying this recipe today. Except I substituted one bottle of apple juice for a second bottle of Dixie peach. I'll be 50 ounces over 3 gallons plus I'll be using 2 lbs of honey. Will it be too dry? What would be a comparable yeast to WL sweet mead in case LHBS doesn't have it?

I saw an article in BYO magazine about a "Hop Spider". Looks cool, easy and cheap and functional. http://brewing.steveandemily.net/2011/02/15/hop-sock-hop-spider-build/

So kinda dealing with the topic, sources for labels? Post it notes? Spray paint? Engraving?:D

I never used to but recent events have changed that. In a recent thread I mentioned that I dropped the strainer in my fermenter and drunkenly thrust my hand into the wort. I titled the thread "I fisted my Irish Red!". Another poster mentioned it would be a great name. So my first...

Thats a fantastic thought!!! Metal and home brewing is king.:rockin:

That's genius!!!!!! I will be making labels!!! "fisted irish red"!!!

Cool. I was pissed at first, but then I thought "I just fisted my Irish red!" and had to laugh.

Haha! Just a little humor in the morning. That's kinda what I was leaning towards.

I had been sanitizing stuff all day but it had been a half hour or so since my hand was in the star san.

This happen to anyone? I was filling my fermenter from the brew pot when I dropped the strainer in the wort in the fermenter that was half full. In my half drunken stupor, I thrust my hand into the wort to remove the strainer. Im going to finish it out and bottle it. I know there's a good chance...

Cool. I'm pretty happy with their stuff except the plastic fermenters aren't sit tight. That's why I sealed them with electrical tape.

I really do appreciate everyones input. Thank you all!:mug:

LOL! Im still pretty new to brewing(a year doing mr b stuff), just bought some stuff from Williams Brewing to upgrade. Thought I'd give the LHBS beer of the month recipe a try. An Irish Red Ale, 6.6# Sparkling Amber LME 1# Crystal Malt 20L 1# Crystal Malt 120L 1# Cara Red 2 oz Goldings (30...

Thanks fellas, I appreciate it.:mug:

I know releases tannins, but I found my thermometer was off by 20 degrees. I found i actually steeped 3 pounds of crystal 30, 90 and caramalt for 30 minutes. At 190! Did I just ruin this??

Im sorry to hear of your loss. I for one turn to brewing when life turns to ****. It has helped me through a divorce, BK, a few breakups with girlfriends as well. I have a little girl too, and shes so into what I do when I brew. She always talks about the little buggies (yeast) that make...
