    BrewJacket Immersion Chiller Question

    Has anyone ordered anything from BrewJacket recently? I ordered some things from them a couple of weeks ago, knowing that they may not be open due to COVID-19. Here is my problem: I haven't seen any updates to my order, they haven't responded to my email and they haven't answered their phone...

    Cider Suggestions?

    Yes. All of the ciders have been bottled, and all ended up tasting pretty well. I would say that I would prefer using Nottingham yeast rather than S-04 for ciders. We decided to do plain, cherry, pepper, hopped, and bourbon barrel ciders. Plain was solid. Didn't add any extra sugar or...

    Longtime beer Brewer looking to transition

    I'm hardly an experienced wine maker, but we did try to make champagne for our wedding. We brew beer quite a bit, but the only real wine making we have done has been from kits. I say "try to make champagne" because it ended up not being sparkling, so we went to plan #2 which was just to have...

    Cider Suggestions?

    Well thanks for all of the suggestions. We settled it the only way we could think to do it. I picked two and she picked two. I picked Cherry and bourbon barrel. She picked hopped and pepper. We started soaking some oak cubes in boubon last week and roasted the peppers this weekend...

    Cider Suggestions?

    Thanks for the suggestion on the honey and mulberry. It is kind of too late on the S-04. I thought I read somewhere on here that it was a good yeast to use. Why was yours not so good?

    Cider Suggestions?

    So, my wife and I have started drinking a fair amount of apple cider. We've been making graf almost exclusively. But, now that fall is here and we live somewhat close to a orchard we decided to get a bunch of apple cider (~25 gallons) and let it ferment. We are currently trying to decide with...

    Any notes on how this turned out?

    Clone of Dogfish head #61

    I'd be interested on how this turned out.

    Video Games

    It seems to be a pretty stripped down game to me. I bought it. A few of my friends have it. We will enjoy playing it. That being said.. I really must under estimate the amount of time it takes to create a video game like that. It has come to the point where I don't even want any NEW game...

    help with kegerator foamy beer

    I'm no expert like a lot of guys on here, but you may want to try just releasing the pressure rather than redoing your lines/pressures/temperatures. It is way easier and my keg lines are nowhere near 10 ft. Maybe 6 ft.

    help with kegerator foamy beer

    This might be a dumb suggestion and you might have already done it, but have you tried to take all of the pressure off the keg and start over? Like, if the beer is carbed up properly and you added too much CO2 (either because the pressure gauge on the regulator is screwed up or by accident)...

    Review: Brewjacket Immersion chiller.

    Cool. I'll have to order up one of these.

    Review: Brewjacket Immersion chiller.

    I'm curious as to why you say it isn't worth it to use for lagering? I like the idea of being able to use it when I want, and being able to put it away when we aren't making a lager (right now I don't have any way to do a lager).

    Thirteen questions about winemaking from an experienced homebrewer

    I am also a relatively inexperienced winemaker. 1. I don't change water chemistry even for my beer. We have lived in different regions of the US and used tap water at each location. We even tried distilled/RO water and I couldn't taste a difference. 2. Nah. But, I'm a noob. Someone else on...

    What to say when homebrew is no good?

    This thread is interesting to me as I'm about to give our beer/wine out at our wedding as party favors (not serve it). Our wedding is 3 months out and the beers are fermenting now. Question about feedback... Where do you draw the line? I've had someone tell me that I should buy distilled...

    New to Kegs - Wedding Planning

    First, let me say as someone with experience with this... you should make sure that they will let you bring your own alcohol to the winery. You probably already did that, but it is something that I felt I had to say. Disclaimer: I've not done this, the place that we are getting married will not...

    WORST Home Brew Store experience ever!

    While my experience was not nearly that bad... We lived in Las Vegas for a little over a year and one of the homebrew stores out there is called "Vegas Homebrew." We went during a Seattle Seahawks game. The owner is a HUGE Seahawks fan apparently because he didn't give us a ton of...

    How to order a beer at a National chain restaurant

    This may be easy for me to say.. but regardless of the resturant and location, if I were a server I would know the beers and wines in and out because it seems like an easy way to make money. When people are at resturants, you can almost guarantee they will eat. But, will they drink? Maybe if you...
