alright another OCMS, Mojo Nixon and The Dubliners fan!:mug: you may also like the travelling wilburys, chris knight and ryan bingham:rockin:

you'll be fine, thats how I personally, along with every other homebrew cider guy in my area does it. I have 40gallons in my basement now:rockin: I get my carboys filled right out of the press. In fact I get wierd looks when I mention that people add anything other than sugar and other...

yes, I have heard of them, they are pretty good. If you havent checked them out already, look into Iron Horse, they do bluegrass covers of classic metal and rock tunes(ozzy and metalica mostly). Let me tell ya, as a banjo player myself, the banjo player in Iron Horse is top notch! For some other...

I'd have to say Bluegrass, and the old timey stringband stuff is at the top of the list, followed closely by 50's/early 60's rock, pop and doo ***, as well as classic country.

Welcome, Im right accross the lake from you in Wayne County NY! Have a lot of family in the Quinte/Kingston area. Belleville is also home to my favorite afternoon oldies show-The Freddy Vette Show on 800 CJBQ! Good luck with the brewing, Im a noob myself as well!

If you guys are lucky enough to have an orchard nearby, have the farmer press some apples, and fill your carboy with the juice, making sure he doesn't run it through the UV or other means of pasturization. No need to add yeast, fermentation will usually start by the next day. Now what I do is...

They are going pretty good Tim! Although in all my life I have never been to the rennaisance fair, even though my grandparents used to own a marina/B&B in fair haven! I hear its a good time though. I kinda had the same thoughts on the conifer needles, but figured what the heck, if I try it with...

welcome from another local! seems to be alot of homebrewers in the Rochester and Canandaigua area, I saw a HBT bumber sticker on a ford ranger on 104 in Irondiquiot on my way home from work-One of you guys?

It also doesnt help when we have Keith Stone representing the beer world, haha

other than brewing, I enjoy: skeet shooting hunting/fishing classic cars(currently restoring 86 mustang LX, not really classic, but always liked the Foxes) motorcycling snowmobiling Im also an amature banjo player, and my buddies and I got a little bluegrass/folk/Christian band called The...

With the warm coming soon(hopefully) the sumacs berries should be out soon. Sumac tea is kind of a local farm delicacy, and was wondering if I can make a sumac wine? Also, its common to make a tea with hemlock or pine needles, can I do the same thing with this? Im new at all this so bear...

maybe its an old leftover then???, or it may not even be Oberon, thats just what he said it was(I dont see him/get the beer until Friday)

Never been to Frankenmuth, but may have to swing by on the way out especially since German food is the best! I usually cut through Ontario and cross into Mi at Sarnia. Although If I can get some of my riding buddies to go and ride the bikes, we'd take the scenic route and go up and around, and...

yeah, a gallon doesnt make that much of dent, I used to do syrup, and think we ended up spilling at least that per night! Compared to syrup, homebrewing is way easier...and cheaper:mug:

I just started mine today using recipe 2, got some sap from a friend, we'll see how it ends up!

Thanks, I'll have to make some detours and check some of the places out, I really enjoys Bells Third Coast, Two Hearted, and Oberon, but unfortunately are nowhere to be found in NYS(same thing goes for pasties). When I get more advanced in homebrewing, I'll have to clone some Bells stuff...

This summer, when I go to visit my brother in Mackinaw City, I was thinking about visiting some microbreweries in Northern Lower Mich, and eastern UP. What are some of the places I must go to? I think there was one just off 75 in Gaylord I think it was called Bucks, looked like a brewpub, but...

hmm... this has me interested, I think I might try recipe 2 or 3 this week. I just need to decide to find my old spiles and buckets and tap some trees, or go down the road, and get some sap.

hmm, if you have an orchard nearby, have them fill your carboy straight out of the press. The naturally occuring yeast in the apples will provide adequet fermentations, albeit inconsistant between years brewed, and even days you fill your containers. What I do is have my carboys filled, then put...
