    Potentially a bad idea

    I'm not sure if anyone here has tried Goblin Juice from Meijer's, but I had the thought that a fermented dry version may be an interesting drink. It's a mixture of grape and blackcurrant juice that's been sweetened and artificially colored (Red 40, Yellow 5?). It has tannic acid and a couple...

    I decided to try my hand at harvesting.

    I'm still waiting for my first batch to properly bottle condition. So I crack open my last bottle of Bell's Expedition Stout. As I'm decanting, I notice the sediment and think; 'wait a minute, I can't let that go to waste!' I leave about a 1/4" of beer in the bottle, and pour in about 3oz of tap...

    Blow-off tubes.

    Just a few general questions. From my limited experience so far, the blow-off tube seems to work great at reducing the formation of a large krausen ring and foamovers. Is there any reason why people switch to airlocks at the end of high activity? Is it fine to just use blow-off tubes for...

    Beer snob turned brewer here.

    Hi, I'm from Louisville, KY and I recently started brewing. I'm only on my second batch now, but am planning to make quite a few more. Though I've only made two, I've lived with some guys who brewed on many occasions. I'm a big fan of Bell's and Great Lakes products.
