Good Point RM-MN Bigfoot Barley Wine style Ale. I will keep that in my memory for the next time I am scanning a beer store's shelves.:)

Seeing that Giant Fermentation leaves me wanting some of that :)

Maybe tint the windows of your brewing area this way all of your carboys might benefit or bottles too. Just a thought. I like your idea. I would think tinting would be good for a few hours or the occasional forgetfulness. I use heavy duty black trash bags over my carboys if I need to put them...

bctdi, Thank you for elaborating on my windshield analogy. I find it interesting that plane windshields are a combination of glass and plastic. I've been driving over twenty years and luckily I never had a windshield crack. I did break another carboy since my last post but it was totally my...

When I think of a glass carboy I think of something that is not able to absorb anything and something that does not excrete anything. After I clean a carboy I believe that it is truly clean. I can see any little particles through the glass and clean them off. I can also see the fermentation...

I stepped on a piece of carboy glass this year and it sucked but I still love my glass carboys and carboy handles. I question plastic. I know that there are different grades and what not but I like that I can see that the glass is clean and I don't have to worry that it leaches anything or...

Thank you for the link to the Golden Gate Fruit Company scutly!! I appreciate you taking the time!!!! It proves that the bottle is old. I'm glad that you like the Toulouse-Lautrec reference Yooper. The art from then was so specific I like it. It is a very nice label and in great...

I will let my friend know abut the curaco link you sent me. Thanks! I guess this company is so long gone that there isn't much info on it. I was hoping that someone would have a bottle like it or know about the production of it or something. I just love that art on the label. When he first...

I didn't see any dates on it. It was amazing that the condition was so good. I just looked around the internet a bit. I found some of the stoneware bottles selters Nassau. None had labels but the approximate date was " The bottle was likely dated from the late 18th or the early 19th century. "...

I was at a homebrew party last night and my friend showed me this bottle he got from a basement he was cleaning out. They said he could have it. The cork looks good to me. He said that what he could find dated it back to the 30s but he couldn't find much with the name Curacoa spelled Curacoa and...

I couldn't ignore it any longer. Just thinking about it now is making it hurt. It is much better though. I was walking on the side of my foot because I didn't want to make it go in further. I'm so glad it is out. I know that the pain I have now will go away. :) :mug: [/IMG]

If there is a community of farmers near you may be able to spend some time with them to get some experience and they may let you put a couple of hives on the edge of their property. Since I got into beekeeping and joined the local bee club I have met a bunch of farmers and they have all been...

I went barefoot down into the basement to finish rinsing off some stuff after transferring beer into my secondary carboys. Something went into the pad of my foot like an inch back below my pinky toe. "Oow" I put up with it for a couple days and couldn't get it out despite trying with...

It will be alright. Mice have been around breweries and brew supplies for ever. If you rinsed the bottles before you filled them they shouldn't have any turds in them. I have some mice in my basement as of recent also. It doesn't end up in the brew because ya know we clean the surfaces and...
