Yesterday, started a maibock, did not get to finish it. Grain-father took a dump on me. It did fine through the mash but when it came to boil time, heating coil (me thunks) died. Now it won't heat, period. Dug out/cleaned off cobwebs and got the mega pot fired up and finished it (mostly) today. The ...

I've accidentally.. froze 5 gallon buckets of stouts before. Ya just scoop out the slushy/froze beer a couple times... then drink whats left.... LOL

Yea, I too liked your conditioning/carbing box. Very good idea!

Couple bottles with unseen cracks, and/or too much priming sugar?

Pretty much everything covered above. Build yourself a decent pipeline so your not tempted to condition/bottle too soon. IMHO What I do, but I usually have from 4 to 8 kegs conditioning, I put all fermenting beer/cider, etc in the corner of the room and forget it for atleast 3 weeks, usually closer ...

My condolences, sorry for your and your families loss.

It will be ok. Relax and enjoy a brewski. It's hard but not impossible to over-due yeast in a batch but your good to go.

Hey... we good bro! I do understand what your saying. Another moonshine I like is made with, well, aww poop, it's not moonshine but everclear 190 flavored with fruit, sugar and some vodka..... LOL Drink-on, life's too short to get upset over semantics. Cheers!

Awesome! It's a really good recipe which was mostly BD's doing. I had a little input but he is the man! I have a 5gal keg conditioning, hope to tap soon. I can't keep enough of this on hand/tap.

um, I didn't count the cider....but I did find some from 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. it just keeps getting better with age. I've got some 5-6 years old, will drink someday. Have some Mead I made 15 years back, it's ok. Did not count those in my count. Guess I shouldn't count my *shine* since it's n...

Sweet! Looks good!
I like the flip top bottles but I was never able to get a consistent carb with them. They would leak on me, even with new seals.

yeah, I've pondered an experiment...still pondering Might be hard to get away with, experimenting, living an a shytie like you do... now here, in Norf Dakoota, no problem. I can obtain most the ingredients for free, plenty of vacant/abandoned houses to do it in *IF* you wanted to do it on a grand s...

Ever notice for those of you on Facebook and see someone post that they made moonshine? Apple, cherry, what ever and what ever. Everclear and favorings is all. Yes is good but they didn't make moonshine. You want to say you made moonshine, then do a mash and cook down and distill , then you made mo...

I think I'm floating around 60 gallons of beer and hard cider. May do 3 more batches of beer and another gallon of apple pie shine before the new yar. Might do up a gallon of anise with a new recipe a bud just gave me... pretty dayum good!

Welcome to the forum! Let it sit at room temp a couple weeks, then fridge for a week. I let mine sit in a room that's 60 deg. F.
