The suspense is killing me. Any new news? I cannot find anything.

I want to brew.....LEGALLY!

Are they expecting anything else to get done by the end of the week?

Love It!!!

I have a slightly different situation, but I made my false bottom from tubing by drilling holes in it and coiling it on the bottom of my mash tun like an eye on an electric stove. Make sure the tubing is made to handle hot or cold water, some is for cold only. I made the mash ton by putting a...

I had that once when I got enough juice to fill one and a half carboys. The half full one developed a white film and made a very excellent vinegar. I transferred into wine bottles and my wife loves to cook with it. My sister and brother-in-law are both chefs and love it as well. It is better...

I have both. Glass will clean, well....clean. Plastic can sometimes keep residual aromas and such, so I have plastic designated for stouts only, apple wine/cider only, and whites only. Both have pros and cons, but do be sure to get the harness and make sure you do not get a clogged airlock...

I second what Arc said, energy input can make a large difference. Also, the more you boil off the higher your ABV, since you are concentrating the sugars who like salt do not boil off. I mash extra to boil off about a fifth of my oatmeal stout in order to run up the ABV and thicken it up a...

thank y'all for the sugestions.

The easiest way to explain what I am looking for is to say I want something Summer Shandy-ish, only without adding any fruit. I have started with a very simple heffe recipe, only I changed the aroma hops to sorachi ace. What would be a good bittering hop that would give me a good base flavor...

If you had the same white film I did then congratulations on making a really really good vinegar. I bottled mine and kept some to cook with. The rest I split among 4 chef friends of mine and quickly received requests for more, although I will not be purposely making any more. I think my issue...

wow! many thanks.

Awesome! My wife is allergic to wheat, where did you find those ingredients? Did you have to prep anything yourself? i.e. roasting your own grains?

I can not see your picture so I can not speak to the texture, but have you tried a flat black primer that will stick to glass? Unless the coating on the bottles you are speaking of "scratches" off, it could be a ceramic type of coating that has to be baked on with a kiln, but would not scratch...

Does the beer making for dummies have jokes about winemakers?
