Just celebrating the awesomeness of a little time. I brew 15G batches and consistently drink the first keg trying to figure out what went wrong...as I get to the end of keg #1 I start to feel a little optimism. The 2nd keg I share proudly with friends and the 3rd I hoard like it’s the last...

I made summer sausage for the first time yesterday...10lbs. It’s also my first go at any kind of fermented meat. I used f-lc I’ve been letting it ferment with the intention of smoking it today. I was just reading the recipe again and I think I used too much f-lc. The pack I got was 25g which...

My first post in the sausage making forum! Yet another thing I’ve always wanted to try and I really enjoyed it. I think this is more for me than cheese making. I’m sure I’ll keep playing with cheese but holy cow...the things you can do with $1.49/lbs pork butt and 100ft of casings for $5...

There’s history and pictures and good discussion that lead to this thread here.. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/best-yeast-washing-procedure-for-harvesting-lager-yeast.676382/#post-8816606 ...but to summarize I am reviving lager yeast that was “rinsed” and then stored in my fridge...

So I’m branching out into cheese making. I’ve got the cheesemaker.com starter kits and have made mozzarella and feta...very cool! I plan to process 2-4G of raw cow milk a month and have a cheese cave ready to go. Any suggestions for molds, cultures, mat’s, etc. that I should be stocking to...

Been brewing for 5 years and have never had a glass carboy. I scored one for $5 from a guy down the street and OH MY GOODNESS! My beers alive! It’s so cool watching the process! I’ve read and seen the carnage they can produce but man it’s cool to watch fermentation! The next time you hear...

Just did my first NEIPA and it’s not good. I will drink it until I can quickly brew something else to fill that space in kegerator. I will not share this beer ....this is a beer that only a parent can love It’s to bitter...10Gal batch that I did a .5oz Apollo at 60..3oz of juicy hops at...

Brewed a 10Gal IPA. Split into 2 fermenters ... Fermentor #1 - repitched a 2 week old 1056 slurry that came from a light cream ale...no starter. Still drinking that cream ale..really good. Had a solid 48hr lag time which is unusual for me but i do not pitch slurries often. Fermenter #2 -...

Title says it all. I don't think we give the medicinal properties of homebrew enough credit so here's to the healing/numbing powers of the nector we craft :mug: Cheers! P.S. no, i'm not mixing with muscle relaxers or other pain Medd's.....yet. Your concern is appreciated.

I know many of you know what I'm talking about. Some will say you should dump it.... in fact Mr. Jamil Zainasheff encourages it and he is almost as good at brewing as me. I have dumped my share of beer and I'm not ashamed to admit it.....compost happens. This thread is a tip of the hat to...
