They were all over the place.

I'm about to make my first mead, and I'm looking for some stabilizers. Everything I read online seems to suggest KMeta and Ksorbate. The Kmeta is potassium metabisulfite, which is used to protect the wine from spoilage by bacteria. The Ksorbate is potassium sorbate, which is added to wine to...

I've been reading some murmuring about this for the past couple of months. Have any of you had bad batches? I have a bunch of it in the freezer right now, and I was planning to do an all-amarillo American wheat, but now I'm not sure. I'll open it up on brew day and see what I think of the...

Do any of you dislike Wurzel's Orange Wine? People here seem to be crazy about it, but I haven't really been impressed. I made six different versions of it using six different fruits and I can't say that I love the stuff as much as most of you seem to. I followed all of the tips to a T, so don't...

I've been shopping around for some specialty honey shops and I came across a couple I'd like to share with you guys. One is in the UK: http://www.paynesbeefarm.co.uk/honey-in-bulk/ One is in Germany: http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... tstart%3D0 Both have a great selection, but the...

Sorry, but the direct link to the item isn't working. http://brouwland.com/en/ Seems like a pretty good deal. They also sell it in smaller portions. I'm not sure how long they have offered this, but it's the first I've noticed it.

Just a note that Daniel over at http://www.amihopfen.com has the 2013 harvest ready to ship. He's an American living in Germany, so don't be afraid to email him in English. I feel like his prices and service are both really good. He's active over on the German homebrewing forum, and his whole...

I'm getting tired of cranking this corona mill and I'm thinking about upgrading. I'd like one that's not too expensive, but can be connected to my drill so that I can speed up the process. Do any of you have a good suggestion for me? :hmm: Is this a good one...

As a Christmas present for my father, I organized a brew day for him at his local brewpub. He will get to go there and brew up a 15gal batch on their system. I told them that he's probably going to want to make a pilsner, and asked if they could send me a recipe so I could take a look at it...

I added 28 grams (1oz) of pellets to this 5l jug and this happened: [youtube:1a34sd8e]Cu6jCDclbQA[/youtube:1a34sd8e] There was very little head space when I added the hops. It was someplace around the handle. Anyone else had this happen before? Thoughts on infections?

I'm surprised at how well organized the Polish homebrewing forum is. http://translate.googleusercontent.com/ ... YVHnhBYZbg You can look at breweries based on type by clicking on the appropriate category under the heading on the left. I'm sizing up the competition for Birofilia 2014. It might...

They announced the categories a few days ago, but I don't see any dates yet for the actual fest. I'm guessing it will be in July. http://en.festiwal-birofilia.pl/the-cat ... -2014.html I might try to brew a Cascadian dark ale for this fest. I wish they had an IPA category this year. It was an...

I bought one of those stainless diffusion stones and I plan to use it with an aquarium air pump during my next brew. Anyone have a suggestion for how long I should run the thing? I've been googling around and I can't seem to find a confident, consistent response.

Hey, All: I got my new 98L BK in the mail today from Hop & Grape, and I'm just itching to do a brew with it. Since it's hot out now, that means that I need to get around to wiring up this STC-1000 to the fridge I bought so I can keep ferm temps in range. I was thinking about wiring it directly...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Champagne :shock: And this is how priming started!!!

I came across this while googling just now. http://www.perryprocess.co.uk/perry/process.nsf/products/TA716-stainless-steel-tanks-europe-0---4999-litres They sell used stainless tanks. I wonder if any of this would be suitable for brewing!

I'm thinking about getting this guy here: http://www.hopandgrape.co.uk/public/detailv1.asp?itemcode=STA20252653 and I'm a bit curious about the optional domed false bottom. I have a plate chiller and I use pellet hops so I need a good filter. My current mesh hop filter is falling apart, so I'm...

It will be here tomorrow! I'll throw an STC controller on it, and then I'll be able to brew in the summer too!

This is just a heads up to any of you who might be interested in booze related travel... http://www.baumbluete.de/news.php?readmore=1269 Every year in Germany there is a big fruit wine festival in a small town outside of Berlin. I went to it a couple years ago and it was a blast. There was a...
