    Kaffir lime hefe

    Everytime that I've used Kaffir lime leaves for cooking curry, I always slice them into small strips. Maybe slicing them into strips (parallel to central stem) and then tossing them at flame out, dry hop, or whenever might release more of the flavor. Also, you could dry toast them in a pan...

    Sanitizing bottles?

    I've baked bottles before. I did it on my first batch. I didn't trust the sanitizer that came with my kit. It was more of surface cleaner than a sanitizer. I didn't have any contaminations and it worked well. Just remember that it takes a while for the bottles to cool down. I don't remember what...

    Nitrates in Beer?

    Sodium Nitrate is used as a preservative in certain foods. I see it most commonly in Deli meats or dry cured meats. It was probably used years ago (50-70 years?) before pasteurization and other sanitary industrial machinery because cheaper and more common. This is a total guess though since I...

    Alabama Homebrew Legislation update (Wish 'em luck)

    Free homebrew!? Where do those teens get it from? Mine cost more than store bought from equipment and ingredients! I guess teens in AL with have to stick with bread yeast and apple juice instead of homebrewing... Seriously though, you know rural gas stations/grocery stores don't card for beer...

    Mold growth in bottling bucket from storage

    The spigot was not attached to the bucket and was stored in a separate location, so theres no mold on the spigot. Basically it was just bucket with the hole in the bottom that had mold on it. :drunk: I cleaned out the spigot out today anyways. It was bone try, and was visibly clean of any debris...

    Gordon Strong's New Book

    I haven't dove into all-grain yet and I am still refining my extract/mini-mash techniques, I have to agree. I thuroughly read CJOHB front to back before actually brewing, and I have to say, I was still a little confused on what was important and not so important to make good beer. I think...

    Mold growth in bottling bucket from storage

    Thanks for the replies! I'll let it soak more today and then scrub and soak in sanitizer. I added a bit of bleach because I wasn't sure how sanitary the sink was that I'm soaking it in. It's a laundry sink and hasn't been cleaned in a while. I'll make sure I rinse thuroughly to remove all...

    Mold growth in bottling bucket from storage

    Hey everyone, Long story short I had to store my brewing gear in a basement space while moving. I'm brewing today and discovered that there has been mold growing in my bottling bucket. I left a Zymergy issue in the bucket while moving and it began growing your run-of-the-mill household green...

    Champagne-like bubbles in secondary, normal?

    I have a question related to this. Are champagne like bubbles any indication of anything after being bottled for two years? I only ask because I had one bottle that tasted like sparkling cider vinegar with the small tiny champagne like bubbles. Other bottles have tasted fine but had a similar...

    A-B and MillerCoors raising prices on their "budget beers"

    I think BMC realized that a majority of their clientele is willing to spend $75 for a screen printed Ed Hardy/Affliction tshirt. You know, the same people that spend $50 for a super premium bottle of vodka and mix it with store brand grape soda. I guess they can't complain about a couple of...

    Starting over

    King Spirits on Rt. 60 has the best selection around town. I usually hop over Ashland, KY to Ashland Beverage center if I want something really good. They have a good selection and it rotates a bit. They will usually have Founders, Bell's, Flying Dog, Southern Tier, and Dog Fish Head atleast...

    Starting over

    I'm a bit late to the thread, but welcome to Huntington! Good thing you have a residency and a homebrew hobby or you'd be bored to death here from the lack of anything to do; especially coming from Chicago. Are you doing your residency at St. Mary's or Cabell? I'm applying to Marshall medical...

    My First Bottle Bomb

    Wow, that's a great picture. Save that for a bar fight. Did the bottom half shatter, or did it break into a couple of pieces? I've never personally had a bottle bomb, but I have broken a lot of glass/bottles/glassware. If it just broke into a couple of pieces it might have had a hairline crack...

    Beer snobbing

    I can only think of one story related to this thread. Most of the bars around hear only serve BMC beer. Fine. It's a college town. I've actually had a bartender not know what "Draft" is. Anyways, I decided to grab a beer from around the block at a bar that I havent been to before. Most of the...
