Does anyone Brew their own? I'm interested in having someone to email for help. Are their message boards better than this one. From Joe, working on his 4th batch, and maker of some interesting wines. Thanks.

HI joe, I am just getting into beer making. what kind of equipment do you have? What flavor beer is your preference? I just ordered Hops seeds to plant in the fall - I am going to try to do it all. Every time someone comes out with a beer I like, it gets discontinued! Long-Tyme Watney's Drinker!!

I homebrew occasionally, always ales. It blows any domestic beer away.

home made seaweed fertilizer

My anti virus program tells me that the web site above has potential problems and advises no visiting so I have no idea what that process entails, However, I do know that converting seaweed into a liquid is a lot of work and making it into a powder is even more and it would be a lot easier to just lay it on your garden and let the Soil Food Web convert it for you.

Bottles for home canning?
Q

Here are the recommendations from the National Center for Home Food Preservation. I don't know of any bottles appropriate for home water bath or pressure canning. You can always can your condiments in the appropriate size jars (as suggested in the recipes) and then when you use the contents for serving you can transfer it to a bottle that is stored in the refrigerator for use, but not for canning. -Grainlady Here is a link that might be useful: recommended jars and lids

a 'home-brewed' toilet cleaner?
Q
Comments (13)
Well then again... beer can be home-brewed. And where does it usually end up? I like the bleach tablets for the tank. Keeps the tank and the bowl cleaner. And occasional swish with the brush and occasionally a shake of cleanser, but it's not too often needed. I have so many freebie/low-cost cleaners on the shelf, it'll be a while before I have to make anything.

I've made home-made wine for years. All I do is buy some grape or apple juice from the grocery store, put it in a 2-liter pop bottle, (which is made to hold pressure), make sure the cap isn't tight, and then put in 1/2 teaspoon of yeast. Bread yeast works fine, although it doesn't give as firm of sediment as wine yeast. Ferments for 1 month, then test sugar content with hydometer (should be no or little sugar) then chill and drink. Better with age, usually about 10% alcohol.
