Haha, the redneck blush reference made me chuckle out loud. I had a few glasses last night and slept like a baby.

Re: BEERMKR

I look forward to hearing about it also. Just a follow up on BEERMKR. The latest update was on 4/10/19. Usual production / testing adjustments have created some delays in the product roll out. What was originally scheduled for a spring delivery is looking like a July delivery. I've negotiated a &qu...

Re: April 15 is past

Disclosure Alert - I'm a non practicing CPA who left public accounting 20 years ago. I agree with pretty much everything RickBeer said. I have 4 kids ranging from 23 - 28. They / their spouses are relatively clueless to taxes and finances but the reason may be that they just rely on my advice. I com...

Re: How many Taps

I can put 4 kegs in my freezer, trying to decide if I need 3 or 4 beers available What would you do if you had the option. berry - I know you've made some of that "redneck blush" (RNB) wine recipe I posted. When I had my 2 tap system at our old house, one was for beer and one was for RNB....

Re: How much have you brewed in 2019?

My goals are not very lofty. I joined that kickstarter campaign for BEERMKR. The unit is estimated to be shipped in March 2019. I'd like to make at least one batch a month on that little 1 gallon contraption. That would put me at a meager 10 gallons for 2019. I'm more interested in how that gadget w...

Re: Introducing Redneck Blush to the Borg

I need to do this again. I'll have to go back to bottles since I sold off all my kegs. A trip to aldis / walmart may be in store this week.

Re: BEERMKR

I used to brew fairly often but my lack of space has made brewing kind of a PITA. All of my equip / supplies are stored on a few shelves in the basement. I have to drag everything into the kitchen, set up, brew, clean up, then put it all away until the next time. I miss my old house's set up with a ...

Re: You've come a long way, baby

^^ Sounds interesting. Let us know how it turns out. We drank some of the Hunt for Red Oktoberfest this weekend. I'll give it a "C" . For some reason most, if not all, of the MB or BD kits I do seem to have an after taste I do not care for. Not sure how to describe it. I'll choke down the...

Re: Kick'n Chicken

Those look FANTASTIC!!!! I love Chiavetta's.

My F I L has a knock off baste recipe we use. (we call it Eddie's Brocton Baste) Marinate bone in breasts over night then grill for about an hour @ 300*. Baste and flip every 10 minutes.

..... and drink a few beers while grilling.

Re: You've come a long way, baby

I always like these posts. How we all got started. I kind of went "half" full circle. (Never made it to AG thus the "half") I started with MB on the stove top, moved up to the 5G Brewers Best kits with some steeping grains in a dedicated brewing area in the basement. Now I'm back...

I've seen bars where they fill crowlers (a portmanteau of can+growler). So that's already happening.
One of our beer distributors started filling crowlers and now have a page on their website with what's on tap

I think these canning machines are soooo cool.

Re: Can it at home

I have a few friends that would be willing to share the cost to do this if it were $600. (We like gadgets) Please correct me if I am wrong but the amazon link appears to be a different can sealer than the one in the video. The model 225 in the video only seals 12oz cans and is $1489 https://wellscan...
