The only piece of equipment I've broken so far (~10 full size batches) is an auto siphon.

I just made one myself. I used THIS LINK as a basis for what I did. I didn't use dowels for the middle pieces, I just slotted out two middle boards, and interference fit them into the box (read: hammered them in good). In hindsight, the dowels probably would have been easier/cleaner...

LINK HERE So that simple buckwheat recipe was what I saw and it made me want to make a buckwheat mead (more so that I could have something to long term age along with everything else that I've been making lately)... Because my LHBS only sold them in 1 pound increments, I decided to do a 2:1...

SS- Barnyard does describe it pretty much spot on. Since you say a little goes a long way, is the ratio of 2:1 (wildflower:Buckwheat) that I used sufficient? Will the final product taste like a barnyard?

I have a couple of questions about buckwheat honey First, the background of what I made: 1 GALLON RECIPE 1lb Buckwheat Honey 2lbs Wildflower honey 1/8tsp energizer 1/2tsp nutrient Lalvin D-47 Yeast Now the questions: 1. I was thinking of secondary-ing this over some frozen...

So I have my first large batch of mead bulk aging in the carboy (1.098OG, 1.008FG) having recently been bit wth the mead making bug... In order to keep things separate, and also allow for longer aging, I am planning on using wine bottles for all of my mead batches (greater than 1 gallon) from...

The reason I'm using bread yeast is because I bought some to make JOAM, but they only had the three pack... Since I don't bake, at all, I figured I might as well use it up, since I already have it.

Background: I recently bottled my first mead (Joe's Ancient Orange Mead), so my 1 gallon jug is open. :eek: I was at my LHBS yesterday, and got some honey but I can't find a recipe that I have a majority of the ingredients for, so I was thinking I would create my own. This is where I need...

I play PS2, Wii, and PC I'm still working through my stack of old PS2 S/RPGs that I've accumulated recently. If I see something at Gamstop/EBGames I pick it up. Regardless of the fact that I have at least 10 left to play. I've also been playing NCAA 09 and GH:WT for the PS2 alot recently...

Unfortunately, SWMBO's beer needs outweighed mine, so I haven't gotten to it yet. I think that my next brew day I will make it. Sorry.

Doesn't Guitar Hero world tour have two songs by Hendrix? I have GH1, 2, and 3. for GH3, I can't get past the encore of group 7.. Damned guitar solo on Cult of personality just destroys me. I bought GH:WT the day it came out, (game only - because i only want to play the guitar) and I'm...

Finally the Apfelwein I started on 9-8-08 is clear enough to bottle... guess I'll do that tonight. Now to decide if I want it still or sparkling. Opinions?

I think Ivanhoe was the pale ale... I swear I saw that name on one of the bottles (or at least something like it.)

I graduated in 2000, played football for 4 years... Took a shower exactly 0 times after football. I preferred to go home and take a long, relaxing shower after practice. :shrug: +1 to not showering after PE because you have all of 1 or 2 minutes to change and get to your next class

The lions not getting the #1 pick would actually be the best thing that could happen out of this season. #1. The amount of $ that the #1 pick is guaranteed is a huge salary cap hit, effectively preventing the team from getting anything out of free agency other than 3rd string talent from...

I am getting very close to the day when my apfelwein is done fermenting... Would it be possible to put a gallon of it into a sanitized gallon milk container (assume I'm not adding sugar to carbonate it)?

I Asked the same question earlier, and I think this is the best list I've seen: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/brands-pry-off-bottles-80667/#post857847 Here's to hoping the URL works.

Made a batch of this last night... My first mead, ever. I pitched the yeast when it was warm still. I'd guess about 110, or 115F. It was bubbling this morning, so hopefully I didn't kill too many of the yeasties... Think pitching it at that high of a temp will screw it up too badly?

Wow, that was stellar

SO I was browsing my local Target today (to replace the microwave that took a crap on me yesterday), and I saw that they sold these LINK - Click me!. They were empty, and had a price tag of $13.99. Not to sound too cheap (which I really am, what do I care?), but that's $10 less than a 5 gallon...
