Other "brews"

Hrmmm....possible new forum topic? Anywho, what else, besides beer, have you "brewed"? What do you want to "brew". Have "brewed" 1. Apfelwein -apple wine. I love this stuff and brew it regularly. 2. Graff -malty cider. Again, love this stuff, a nice ABV kick. I plan on playing with gallon jugs for f...

Good Day again, I use an old electronic PID temperature contoller with a 1500watt hotplate, it makes multi-step mashs, or a ramp mash possible, I still have trouble figuring out how to "step" a Gas Turkey fryer, without overshooting every rest! Stir, stir, stir, and stir some more. Then :pray: Or r...

Been on here too long ;) http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff173/daddymem/Beer/DSC00729.jpg Slow chill in a snowbank. Got below 80F (HA!) in 1.5 hours. Had to ...

Hops are a great plant to grow and they are fairly easy. I have mine on twine and an eye hook as far up a tree as I could go. I can lower the bines to harvest. These pictures come from our summer - your winter Hashie. These are 2 year bines. My plan is to move these and make an arbor over a patio so...

I can't help you with your question, but I have used passive solar for my brew day. I measure out my water and leave my kettle in the sun in the morning of a hot day to preheat it. A few reflectors and you could be in real business.

I can cook all kinds of things. My favorite foods to cook are easy, fresh, healthy meals. Since overcoming colon cancer, I steer away from grilling as much as I can. I'm not huge on meats anyways but when I do them I choose to use a rotisserie, or I smoke them, and I lean towards less fatty cuts. Lo...

I use a hop sock. It is a 5 gallon paint strainer bag. I used to think the free flow hops in the wort were a better idea but one day as I was watching the boil, I changed my mind. I noticed that there were a few localized areas where the boil up occurred and these areas were clear of foam and hops. ...

Good, I hope this turns into an informative topic. One of the things that slowed my turn to BIAB were all these insisting that you needed a way to hang your bag over the kettle to let it drain. I have no place to hang a hook and I couldn't afford the additional expense anyways. Later I heard the lad...

No fuss for me to hang the bag. I have a single pulley above the keggle to make raising the bag easy, so it's just a matter of tying it off and leaving it suspended for 30 minutes. Already more fuss than needed. Lift, twist, drop, wait, squeeze. Done and more wort for less effort. Not trying to sou...

I don't know. It isn't exactly difficult or rocket science to twist the bag over the kettle until it mostly stops dripping then plop it on top of an upside down colander inside a bucket for a bit until it is cool enough to squeeze it with a pot lid. I usually get around 0.05 gallons per pound absorb...
