I still use glass (even 6.5'ers
) mainly because i already have 3 and don't want to buy plastic.

When moving from buckets to carboys I did some research and saw way too many horrific injuries as a result of broken carboys. For now I'll stick with plastic.

One in each arm!
Going to brew a hoppy pale ale tomorrow, probably throw in some wheat. This will be my first all-grain batch to not use a saison or brett strand.

You don't practice your juggling with glass carboys filled with PBW? Only way to get good at it.

Buckets are the way to go. So much easier to deal with for everything.

I'm starting to move in that direction. Plastic carboys are a bitch to clean. I seem to have the toughest time getting the gunk ring completely gone, even with brushes and a PBW bath.

I'll always be a fan of glass carboys but use buckets for some things.

I just pulled a sample of my apfelwein and this stuff is going to be dangerous
Surprisingly good and easy to drink. I was so pleased that I went ahead and whipped up another batch real quick.

Anyone have any experience with tepache?
Specifically botomland... I know he has a love for all things fermented. My SO made a batch last week or so. We'll try it this weekend I'm assuming.
Basically fermented pineapple.

I have not had any experience with it. Keep us posted. Looks interesting.

Nope, sure don't.
We are still planning on brewing this Friday night... need to get a brew in soon.

I was hoping to get a brew in this week but I am not sure if that will work itself out. May have to take a day off next week to get it done.

We talked to some guy in Colorado who was starting a cider place. He swore by it.

I will admit that I had to look it up when y'all posted the picture on FB

I'll have a few late nights at work this week. Hoping I can be off on Friday and get a brew in. Don't have a clue what it will be.

I had never heard of it either but the guy we were talking to was saying that he'd basically make a living off of it.

I have the ingredients to make a simple English Mild (Stone Brewing recipe). Then want to brew Gordon Strong's Holiday Prowler. Then a beer for suspense's fancy wedding. That 3rd one might have to come before the other two though.
