For some foolish reason the last time I was at a brew shop bought two buckets and one lid, thinking I'd just keep one bucket for cleaning. A week later, I've got a second batch going in a Deer Park jug and I'm thinking about starting a third. Swinging by a different brew shop this afternoon...

I'm going to be making a 5 gallon batch of mead and I know the standard is 3lbs honey per gallon (I have 15lbs of honey). Do I use less than 5 gallons of juice/water based on how much honey I'm adding in, or should I just add 5 gallons of liquid in addition to the honey?

Once the last of the ingredients are delivered (this Thursday), I'm going to be making my first batch of mead and decided to go with the kitchen sink method. Let me know if you guys think I'm missing anything: 15lbs wildflower honey 2 gallons organic apple juice 3 gallons spring water 4lbs...

I'm about to start a 5-gallon batch of mead using 15-pounds of honey, 2-gallons of apple juic,e and 3-gallons of water, with a small bag of blackberries and blueberries in to give it just a tiny flavor. While I'm waiting on a new airlock and lid to come in the mail I figured I should look into...

Hey there! I doubt anyone here will remember me, but I definitely remember this place. I joined back in 2008 and started my home brewing journey on this forum. I ended up dragging a couple of my roommates into the hobby, and before long moved on from making basic wines to some kit beer, and...

Is it possible to buy those mini-kegs from the store and somehow hook up a small CO2 line to them to carbonate? I know, silly... my buddy wants to know. I'm just going to buy a 5-gallon keg, CO2 tank, and cabling, but he wants to know if he can do it mini-keg at a time.

It might just be because I've had a few Yueng tonight, but I've been wondering for the the past few days... Anybody have a habit of just dipping a pint glass into their finished pail brew and skip the bottling process? I don't plan on not bottling, but I get a kick out of the fact that I...

Well, I don't actually have a name yet, since I've only just started brewing my first batch of Apfelwein, and it's gonna be a few months before I start on my beer. One of my friends insisted that if I was going to be sharing my apfelwein in washed out old bourbon bottles, that I would need my...

I know I'm a noob here, but don't worry, I've done my research, and I'm not going to ask any stupid questions that you've already answered (don't let that come back to bite me in the ass...). I just started brewing five gallons of Apfelwein in my Ale Pail a couple minutes ago, and of course...

Well, a little while back, my cousin and I decided that booze was costing too much to buy, so we figured that we might try making some hobo wine. Naturally, being as OCD as I am, I spent hours on end just researching and researching, and quickly fell in love with the process of brewing, long...
