Preview- it's a simple idea. Take quality apple juice and ferment it bone dry with champagne yeast, (the higher gravity finishes dont taste as good in this jmo), and backsweeten it with the highest quality organic pomegranate juice you can find. Daddy's orchard is same but blackcherry juice...

We needed a shoe bench for a long time. I had been eyeing the scrap pile. Today just got after it. Used to starting with plans, better wood, etc..it had its challenges. Plus messed up kreg jig. Overall, clever, simple design but I should have cleated top, added top piece and then put face trim...

Headed to Sedona. Any tips? Also I'd like to know some good beers to try, and good restaurants to go to. But mostly beer [emoji2].

Made a light lager and I started the mash at 158, let it free fall for 90 minutes cause was at bday party. Gravity was 1.040 or something. Not sure how calories work, but it's my understanding that if I use enzymes I lower the calories and raise the abv. Would be cool with both! So should I use...

Without getting into every lodo aspect or whether it would be worth it or not. I am curious about post boil oxygenation. Apologies if this question has been answered already many times. I'm curious what the exact oxygen levels are of a brew that was made under normal Brewing procedures but...

I posesd this question some other place, but I don't feel it really got answered. As everyone knows Daddy's Orchard and Daddy's juice 2.0 are what I have been drinking. But as I buy the expensive black cherry juice, and pomegranate juice, I can't help but wonder how they would taste fermented...

Everything you love about daddy's orchard plus more. This time, wait for it, pomegranate juice. Thats right freaking pomegranate juice. Lower in calories, probably good for you, don't know. The pomagranate is only a backsweetener, its not fermented. It is mixed after fermentation at 4 g...

I read here once that there are only two brewers. Those who have dry fired the element and those who will dry fire it sooner or later. I always unplug so I never sorry about it but I plugged it in and turned it on. I bent down to wipe up a spill and then I smelt it. Looked up and it was glowing...

Merry Christmas and happy holidays all you cheese, wine, beer, cider, bread, coffee and mead makers!

In Palmer and Zainasheffs book the recipes are all in extract. Plus a whole section regarding partial boils is offered. I always thought topping off a boiled wort with fresh water didn't taste the same. That the water wasn't flavored in the boil. Having never done this I have no idea. This just...

The dark cherry juice does an amazing job of flavoring a simple low alcohol cider. 1 gallon members mark apple juice 1/5th red star champagne yeast pack Yeast nutrient per directions and desired (staggered, etc..) 1 Camden tablet potassium sorbate according to directions One quart simple...

The more I think about it, why not ferment in the container it came in. Its not like pouring it in my plastic buckets is an upgrade in sanitation, cleanliness. I probably lose plenty of air under those bucket lids to boot. Thoughts? I was watching a pro brewer clean kegs on a machine. The keg...

Haha, never thought I would. But there it was and I wanted to make sure my kbs clone was done. Problem is I have no idea what to do with it or how to calculate anything. Guess Im glad to have some data. With the kbs, I wiggled the bucket at about ten days and again a few days later and was...

I feel fairly certain at this point that aggressive sack squeezing can lead to permanent haze. Or at least that coupled with short boil, or other factors. I have started many threads on my hazy beer issues to no avail. In reading biab no sparge vs squeeze, and xbmt sack squeeze both testers...

A little background. I decided that I dont like no chill brewing for a few reasons. I dont think that I have ever got the hops right and I am not convinced the taste is the same. Also, I have found its easier to just be done with it rather than "brew" over two days. To me this takes away from...

Saw a king sooper brand, private select, barrel aged soda today! Haha.

I saw the question come up on the soapmaking thread so I thought I would start a thread for discussing these. Sry, if it already exists. Hoping Yooper will post her great recipes. I think I'm going to make these for Christmas so I am looking for good tips and recipes. I whipped up a quick batch...

I have been wondering and trying to figure out the cause of hazy beer for me. I actually cut the dip tube on my other keg up an inch. I thought I was really careful racking this beer but when I opened the corny look what was on the bottom. Is this junk on the bottom imparting a little bit into...

In case anyone was curious about using two bags, I thought I would post this. 13g water and 22 pounds of grain is limit for fv in 15g kettle. Without a pulley system two bags or more will make biab easier to manage, imo.

Title says it?
