  Yeah, I tried the Patriot Lager BASIC refill and it was nothing like it - but to be fair I was
  a beta-tester and I think they've worked on it. Given the packaging on it, I'd be willing to
  bet that if ...

  Also, when you say fermented at 70, do you mean temp of the liquid or ambient? If ambient, the
  liquid temp was likely 74-78, which is a little high.I'd be curious about this too.
  Fermentation temp isn...

  Hefeweizens are also the reason I got into homebrewing, after discovering them the first time I
  visited Germany. They are easier to find here in the states these days, but they're also a lot
  of fun to...

• Posted in thread: When to add hops to boiling wort?!? on 08-23-2012 at 09:58 PM
  So is the addition of the hops after the hot break or after the wort starts to boil? When does
  the 60 mins start for the hop schedule?This is going to sound like an obnoxious answer, but the
  60 minute...

• Posted in thread: My thoughts/review on my first brew with Mr. Beer kit on 08-23-2012 at 09:32 PM
  I really think fermentation temperature control is the most important factor in producing good
  beer, no matter what size batches you're brewing.I've been pretty unhappy with a few Mr. Beer
  batches I'v...

  It looks like the full lineup of the new refill kits is now up on the Mr. Beer site. There's 3
  distinct levels of kits (maybe 3.5?):"Standard": $15.95-17.953.7 % ABV, single 1.87 lb can of
  HME; 10 var...

  I was going to batch prime my stout i have in a few days and was thinking about using brown
  sugar. I was hoping for some advice on how much to use for a regular 2.4-2.5 gal batch. I like
  to use the Ta...

  fbd: I don't really have the personal experience to advise you on how a partial-volume
  all-grain boil would work out; someone else will have to comment on that, sorry.As for the
  hops, that rolling boi...

  This might be a little advanced for this thread, but I'm looking to move into an all-grain
  setup, using the Mr Beer kegs as fermenters. I simply don't drink enough beer to warrant
  brewing 5 gallons at...

  By the by, what are the realistic chances a homebrew beer would make you hurl or get otherwise
  sick?What everyone else has said pretty much answers this, but I did want to add that some
  people do reac...
