I've read that giving the bottles a quick twist every day to keep the sugar, sweeter beer, from settling to the bottom of the bottle helps. Really though, the beer needs that time to age in, mature. Big difference in how a bottled beer tastes after a week and four weeks.

I've gone full circle back to adding a half teaspoon of granulated cane sugar to each twelve ounce bottle. Full teaspoon to a 22 ounce bomber. Works just fine. In the time it takes to measure out the sugar, attend to pan while it comes to a boil, and rack, I can have sugar in my bottles...

If you're new to this you might just make the kit per the instructions then try to figure out which way you want to go for the next one.

I have used four year out of date dry yeast with no issues. Took off and fermented fine.

I just did a Coopers Real Ale kit. First kit I've done in over twenty years. I had to stir this thing quite a while to get a good mix. You're probably fine.

Same with Crazy Uncle Joe. This lockdown has been a true gift to him and the democrats. If Joe had been out actually campaigning he'd be sticking his foot in his mouth at least once a day. As it is he's safely tucked away in his basement and he has an excuse, lockdown. Hillabeans being out...

You're absolutely right. There were morals and ethics in news reporting. News outlets really served the people and did help hold politicians accountable. Now, you have a CNN reporter on television covering the "peaceful protests" in St. Louis while, in the background, the rioting mobs and...

My wife read a book some years ago with an interesting turn on how politicians are placed in office. This was a work of fiction but, in a way it made some sense. On the premise that anyone that WANTS to be president, senator, whatever, is obviously insane for wanting to be, the society in this...

This about sums up Joe's state of mind.

10 to 12 liters once a month. Did a twenty liter Coopers Real Ale kit last month. I also did an 11 liter saison so I'm good until late September. Always try to make another batch when I'm down to five weeks worth ready to drink.

I made an elderberry mead and used dehydrated elderberries I bought from a seller I found on the the internet (Frontier?) They have great flavor. It was a full pound. I used four ounces in a gallon so I have a bunch left. There is some form of cyanide in elderberries. You're supposed to boil...

Libs have spent four years trying to unseat Trump. They've worked harder at this than anything else since Trump got elected. They've wasted untold millions if not billions of taxpayer dollars fighting to get Trump removed from office. Hillary even had Nobama, the sitting president at the time...

Back when John McCain ran against Nobama, libs were screaming , "Too old! Too white!" about John McCain. Now look at who they've got.

I remember election night 2016. This talking head on the television going state by state about how Hillary just could not lose. Well, we know how that turned out. Polls are useless. Only election night counts. I think Don is going to get another term especially if the liberals actually run...

AutoCAD Fusion360. Best value in cad/cam software on the market. Endless hours of tutorials on Youtube.

Decant it into another bottle? I've done it.

I'm not a "greenie" by no means but, the amount of plastic used in the world is starting to bother me. This stuff isn't going away. It will be around for centuries in a lot of cases. People that go to these weekend music festivals but these cheap nylon tents and leave them behind. People do...

I had a cardboard box lined with Reflectix insulation that worked real well with ice packs. I could break the box down when not using it and store it under the sofa. I now have a "Cool Brewing" fermentation bag. Was a bit pricey. I think the box was better as it takes more ice to keep the same...

Ferment to dry. Then stabilize with campden and sorbate. Then backsweeten. This is as easy as it gets.

The Cuyahoga river through Cleveland, Ohio in the states actually caught fire in 1969. Something ignited all the oil and crap in it. You are not there, yet.
