    Possible Idea for Aquiring cheap bottles?

    Go to a restaurant /bar and ask them for their empties.

    auto siphon technique

    Lol, both my Midwest plastics are full, so I can't check them. I don't remember too much of an indentation, but I was thinking more along the lines of the punt on a champagne bottle. Edit: I checked em. They do have a decent punt, like that of an apple juice plastic round gallon jug. I've not...

    auto siphon technique

    Why don't carboys, the newer ones at least, have a punt in them? Rhino farts and rocket fuel!

    Wine Consumption

    Usually a bottle of house wine and a few beers each night at work. Hey I'm a cook! At band practice, I drink two 40 oz. bottles of Old English 800. Not really a fan of other malt liquors, but I love 8 Ball lol. The only homebrew I have that's ready right now is Sima. I try to have a batch of...

    broken siphon, can it be fixed?

    This part shouldn't be "removable " but it needs to be free moving so that it lets liquid in but then stops liquid out blah blah blah. The first time I got it position, it came back out.

    Improving mouthfeel of cider

    Coors is using the stubbies right now. I would imagine you can find Lucky Lager too. Also, check the pop aisle. There's often craft sodas that use the oldschool style bottles. Rhino farts and rocket fuel!

    broken siphon, can it be fixed?

    broken siphon, can it be fixed?

    I'm in the same situation. The little clip came out of my autosiphon, rendering it useless. The bottom piece seems to be very well glued to the tube, so I don't think I'll be able to remove it. I'm going to try duct tape and a pool cue... Sent from my PantechP9070 using Wine Making mobile app

    Apple cider

    Dried cranberries should be sourced from a store that sells fresh, dried fruit. Craisins have a bit of oil. Doesn't hurt anything, but they leave a little bit of an oil slick from what I've experienced.
