No, not yet. Feel free to try and let everybody know how good (or not) they are

I have a 5 gal plastic jug (see attached pic) that I have been filling at the store right before brewing. Well, SWMBO decided that she wanted a Berkey for our drinking water. To justify (in my mind) the ridiculous cost, I want to use it for brewing. The problem is that it would take a long...

Sacredbrew, did you ever give this a try and if so, what were your results. anybody else's imput would be great as well.

i would say that you might want to worry about bottle bombs. though i haven't had one yet (knock on wood), but i'm consistently worried about. someone else with more experience might be able to tell you better though

walk down to your local bar and ask the bartender if (s)he can help you out with your "problem". depending on where in the midwest you are from, i might be able to help you out. are you in cleveland or columbus (ohio)?

not having experience with the others, i agree with homebrewtastic. the complete joy of homebrewing breaks it down into skills for the beginner, intermediate, and expert making it great for all skill levels.

Did he ever get back to you?

Good luck and just remember to have fun. Regardless of how bad you're making it, it'll probably still be drinkable

i just tried my Caribou Slobber from NB last night. It was excellent. It is extract but with specialty grains. i highly recommend it http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/recipe-kits/extract-kits/extract-ale-kits/caribou-slobber-extract-kit.html

Ooohh, i like that idea. it's just enough engineering/science to make my nerdiness enjoy this even more. thanks for the idea, i think it's great!
