My sister basically is a vintner now. -- nm - Amy Jun 9, 12:17 5
- does she have a fancy label for her wines? - colin Jun 9, 12:18 4
  - Each batch has a different one drawn by the same person. She has bottlings and buy ins and it's just crazy. -- nm - Amy Jun 9, 12:21 3
    - is it good stuff? i've never had anything homebrewed i didn't like.. - colin Jun 9, 12:29 2
      - yikes! we use that. in small amounts. -- nm - loosilu Jun 9, 12:30
      - *throws up in his mouth a little bit after reading the IM* -- nm - znufrii Jun 9, 12:29
me me me. -- nm - loosilu Jun 9, 12:07 4
- aiite.. so... - colin Jun 9, 12:12 3
  - hmmm, I don't know what killed your yeast, but we never had it come back after 4 days of no activity. - loosilu Jun 9, 12:14 2
    - when i transfered it, i left the yeast cake behind. i thought there would be enough in the beer to pick up the new sugars and keep going. - colin Jun 9, 12:16 1
      - yeah, you should repitch. WE've had much more success with liquid yeast, fwiw. -- nm - loosilu Jun 9, 12:20
no, but I'm looking to start in the near future... -- nm - znufrii Jun 9, 12:06 20
- cool! beer, mead, wine? -- nm - colin Jun 9, 12:08 19
  - our homebrew operation current has 30 gallons in production. - loosilu Jun 9, 12:11 6
    - dang, nice. - colin Jun 9, 12:14 5
      - we haven't done more than 5 gallons in a batch. We'd have to buy new equipment. - loosilu Jun 9, 12:19 4
        
        i will look for it. the lemon coriander weiss sounds awesome! -- nm - colin Jun 9, 12:21 3
        
        it tasted good when we moved to secondary! can't wait. -- nm - loosilu Jun 9, 12:22 2
        
        hmm. maybe we can trade "lava lamps" in the mail. -- nm - colin Jun 9, 12:24 1
        
        heh. -- nm - loosilu Jun 9, 12:26
  - beer to start... - znufrii Jun 9, 12:09 11
    - and by "shortly" I mean "in a couple years when we get our own house" -- nm - znufrii Jun 9, 12:09 10
      - you can do some really cool 1 gallon batches of mead - no cooking, just bottle it and let it sit. - colin Jun 9, 12:13 9
        
        my friends tried that a few years ago. ended up throwing all of it out because it was bad. -- nm - znufrii Jun 9, 12:13 8
        
        huh. sanitizing can be tricky. the no-rinse stuff is great though. -- nm - colin Jun 9, 12:15 7
        
        Turns out I'm allergic to that shit. I can't go near it without gloves. -- nm - loosilu Jun 9, 12:24
        
        I don't think they ever figured out what went wrong... - znufrii Jun 9, 12:16 5
        
        we lose maybe 1 out of every 7 batches to bacteria. It drives Tempe crazy. But we can't work sterile so it's hard to pinpoint the source. -- nm - loosilu Jun 9, 12:25 3
        
        because of your allergies? - colin Jun 9, 12:27 2
        
        no, I mean, to work sterile you'd have to be in a clean room. - loosilu Jun 9, 12:30 1
        
        oh, sterile sterile, not just sanitized. - colin Jun 9, 12:34
        
        that worries me the most.. - colin Jun 9, 12:17
