So this seemed WAY to Thick, stirring it felt like more Jello thickness (before fully hardened).

I added about 1 more quart to make 1.5 gallons and the the mix seemed more the consistency of other infusions I have done.

Plan on Bottling this weekend

Updated I forgot that I doubled the 1 quart recipe so will not fit in 1 gallon jug.

I had some like it and either drink strait-up or mix with Apple Juice for a nice Cran-Apple drink

Made up a batch for X-mas, says takes 2 weeks aging but talking with some people 3 weeks is better. 1 - 1.75ltr Vodka 6 - Cups Granulated Sugar 4 - Cups Water 2 - Pounds fresh cranberries 6 - Oranges (juice and peel) Add Sugar and Water in a large pot (5 quart or larger) heat to mix all sugar in.

This year has been the year of non-brewing for me.

I still have the recipe from Spring that my partner and I worked out, but have not made yet.

I wish I could of got it done and be more active lately but such is life.

Can not wait to see what these brewers come up with. Keep us posted

Using up some LME that is getting old, so made this (The Yeast is 09 2014 too).

So made a quick recipe to use it up.

I notice I have several Mr. Beer HME that are near dates too so I need to get busy and use them up

Been so busy this year my brewing is really hurting.

I bought the Latitude 48 Deconstruction 12pack, man after drinking the Simcoe one I think I need to make a Simcoe SMASH!

By far was my favorite of the set

I have done what is listed above but what I really like doing is making two different beers 1 kit. Lets say you have a brown ale kit, it came with US-05 yeast, I will pickup a US-04 or some other English style yeast and BOOM I have an American brown ale and and English brown ale. Also done it with o...

I have done 13 lagers/bock beers in LBK and only had one have off flavors (but think that was due to my mistake). My drill is add to LBK and drop temp to 48-50*F for 16 days or so then raise temp to 60*F for 3 days. After the D-rest I drop to 48-50*F for 7 days or so then bottle. Once in bottle I ma...

First Pout of Lawn Mower Pilsner


Came out darker and stronger than expected but good beer

Just got back from 9 days in the Appalachian mountains with Boy Scouts, awesome trip

Have fun

Life been keeping me so busy only Brewed 2 beers so far this year

I hope to get some done when I get back from Georgia (Woodruff Scout Reservation).

I have the RCE to finish yet also have several Mr. Beer kits left that I just want to use up as the dates are getting close on bottom of cans

I bottled my Lawn-mower Pilsner on Sunday, came in at 5.2 ABV so a little higher than I expected

Yum POR my favorite........


NOT!

Coopers ruined Mr. Beer for me, will not buy their products any more unless they stop using POR

I was thinking of doing a Weiss and at bottle time add 1 pack true Lemon to bottle bucket



I have had good luck using this when making hard lemonade
