It looks awesome!

Wow, this is awesome!

A "Plethora" please :)

That would be "Plethora" :)

To add to the mash-up: Brewing America has NIST-traceable hydrometers at: brewingamerica.com/collections/all The one for beer has 3 scales, their "Pro Series Brewing ABV Testing Triple Scale." The hydrometer should ship with a card with temperature adjustments around a certain range, but the...

Brewer's Friend is an awesome tool!

Thank you, Stout!

Hoist one to Spike Brewing!

I'm kind of in the same boat as Scturo and Sammy86 - "Good for them, hope the quality stays." In my opinion the economic pressures on brewers (like, since the 1300's) have pushed for a larger profit margin (i.e. less expensive process and/or materials), which has given many distinctive products...

Hi, I'm sure you are not doing this, but I and a friend started home-brewing about the same time. He was very excited about his first batch, and it went right into the 'fridge when he finished bottling. Two weeks later he was greatly disappointed when there was no fizz... Then he remembered...

I think everyone has the right idea - a bit of sugar needs to be left behind before bottling, and treat it like it's still fermenting. Mine was on the sweet side after 3 weeks and a new SCOBY. I used swing-top bottles, no additional sugar, and put the bottled stuff back in the same dark closet...

I bottled mine after 21 days. The ones that went back into the dark closet for two weeks ended up with really nice carbonation. My second batch should be ready in a week...

An update: two weeks later (3 weeks total) I have a fragile-looking SCOBY that is 1/8 to 1/16" thick. Surprisingly, it is pretty hard, and was able to fish it out in one piece so I could decant the product. I restarted it with a bottle of GT'S "Original." I checked the GT'S wwwebsite and found...

I am trying it with GT's "Original" "Enlightened" (plain, with GBT-30). After a week in the closet there's a blobby something about the size of a quarter forming on top. Has anyone tried this with anything other than dissolved table sugar?

My brother and I made a bunch for family picnics (2009, 2010, 2011). My dad stashed some away somewhere and earlier this year he opened one of the last from the 2009 batch and said it was amazing. I had one from the 2010 batch last summer and it was very good. Not as good as it was in 2010 as it...

It may just be me, but when I compare my pale ale that I racked to one that I didn't I always wonder why I didn't make time for racking. In all cases they were *very* drinkable, just the perfectionist in me noticed the difference in clarity and flavor. I did notice that not racking with warmer...

I didn't know they had a name for this... (^-^) My brother got me into brewing. I ended up hijacking one of his amazing pale ale recipes and began experimenting with different hops and hopping methods (hops shortage, small pocketbook). While all the results were enjoyable, some certainly stood...
