Hello all. Just joined the group, and I must say, just looking over past posts, looks like a great group. I'm just getting in to SCA, though I've been to...
... Hi, and welcome! I think a glass Arrowhead bottle would be fine. The plastic ones are hard to clean because of little scrapes in the plastic can harbor...
I'm in Stockton, just south of Sacramento. I would of course be willing to pay what I can for any materials that could be provided. I was thinking the ...
Hi, I think you are on a road towards success. I strongly suggest a visit to "morebeer" in Concord, CA. They have a great website (www.morebeer.com), but...
Thanks for the tip. I'll be on the lookout for you. I did find morebeer.com when searching, unfortunately, as I have to share my car, travelling outside the...
Thanks for all the help and advice. Upon further research, to keep the oxygen level appropriate, if using plastic it should be #1 or #2 plastic. The Arrowhead...
I really like the 6.5 gallon glass carboys that morebeer.com sells, for about $20-$25. These are apparently from Mexico instead of italy, which is why they...
Thanks for the tip Joel. I had honestly not thought of that. My question, is though, what would you use for an airlock in this method. I've seen some items...
The Balloon might look cool, but it isn't actually venting the gases in the volume that would seem appropriate. And, if you aren't venting properly, you have...
I too am a big fan of the 6.5 gallon glass carboys from Beer, Beer & More Beer (B3). I like using the 5 gallon size for bulk aging. If you can't find juice...
I wouldn't recommend using a balloon as an airlock. You have to prick a tiny hole at the top of the balloon to give an escape route for the CO2. That leaves...
Thanks all for your suggestions and advise. I have just managed to isolate a nice chunk of change. So I won't need to look for the cheapest method. And hey,...
Greetings! Might I suggest making smaller batches and using one gallon glass jugs, vs. 5 to 6 gallon carboys? You can purchase rubber stoppers for them that...
Greetings to the Brewers of the West Kingdom. It is that time of year again, and I was wondering if any of the Brewers wanted to teach any classes to the...
... I'd like to teach the period non-alcoholic and low-alcoholic beverages class again. I'm not sure if you'd want to put it in the cooking track of the...
One of the members of my household had watched some show where a group in Japan used magnets to assist in the aging process of wine, and wondered if it was...
No, I've never tried anything with magnets in brewing. I've never heard of this sort of thing before. A priori, my first inclination is to dismiss it as...
All, I just wanted to thank everyone for their advise and support in getting started. I've just got my first batch of mead brewing and the airlock is bubbling...
All, I just wanted to thank everyone for their advise and support in getting started. I've just got my first batch of mead brewing and the airlock is bubbling...
Hey that's great. Don't worry; most of us don't use an overwhelming proportion of all-period recipes or materials either. I generally strike my balance...
Your mead should turn out to be a fine, tasty drink. And a mead made from honey, water and yeast sounds pretty period to me. <grin> Remember to keep good log...
From The Chancellor Of The West Kingdom Brewers' Guild Beltane, AS 2009 Greetings, fellow brewers. I had the privilege of meeting several brewers from the...
Greetings fellow brewers. After much deliberation, we finally have a final copy of the Charter. I have spoken with Queen and sent a copy of the Charter to...
Greetings, Brewers Congrats to Joel the Brewer on his winning Metheglin. I have cribbed his notes for future reference. I love the Cock and Bulls Tavern! ...
Greetings fellow brewers, My apologies for the tardyiness of this missive, but life has been hectic, and I needed a breather after completing the Charter....
This brings me to the next subject . . . October Crown. We have been asked to host the A&S Pavilion at October Crown, which is in Milpitas on October 2-4. I...
