I assume they found enough bottles and kegs for the Octoberfest. A few weeks ago there was a thread about a shortage of both kegs and bottles to supply the O’fest with enough Beer!

I forgot = I did add one full cup of sugar to the apple juice. The original gravity of the juice was at 1.042 and the sugar brought it up to 1.060

I just bottle mine when it gets down to 1.015. I don't clarify it like I do beer. It will clarify in the bottle well enough for me.

Got the goods together to brew and keg a batch of Blond Ale. My oldest son is on his way home on leave from the Corp. I figure it’s time to get him on the road to the world of homebrew. I’ll hand him the “yard” of IPA when he hits the door.

Howdy RD. How is Texas treating you? I have everything for home brewing, but have not done it in a few years. Started with the malt syrup and the inevitable boil overs when breaking the fermentables on the kitchen stove. Then I went to doing large batches at a time at a local brew store that had large vats and used hand ground malted barley. Used to do 15 or so cases at a time of large bottles. I should give wine a try.

Go for it! Mead is a very easy way to get started again no heat or boiling involved. Just some honey and yeast nutrient and some good wine or mead yeast and of course time!

Texas is treating me well, enjoying it. But my gardening was limited to a raised bed this year and has not done well in the heat, I got a very late start. So beer brewing and mead and cider are filling the void for now. I still have a few jars of canned tomatoes left from last year that I have been using in recipes. But sadly no fresh maters from the garden for slicing and eating. Miss those fresh maters!
