So I downloaded brewtarget about 3 weeks ago, but I haven’t been able to play with it till today. So I thought I would try to formulate up my first recipe. I figure I would go with an extract batch to get my feet wet with. So after consulting the swmbo, it was decided that this beer would be an...

Was moving a few things this morning and I dropped my red baron capper. The two plastic tabs on each side broke. I tried bottling some water and it seemed to work fine. Just wondering if anyone knew what the two tabs on the sides are for.

Ok all I have a few more questions before starting up my first batches of cider. I was thinking about adding some Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, to one batch just to add some nice vanilla and spice flavor. I do not want to overpower the cider though, just enough for a small taste...
