I brewed the extract version on Friday the OG was 1.085. Yesterday evening I noticed very vigorous activity in the air lock so I had to improvise a quick blow off tube using some tubing and a bowl of sanitized solution. It worked perfect disaster avoided.

Thanks. I think I will pass on these kits for now

Has anyone tried mangrove jack kits? http://mangrovejacks.com/

I have used several Austin kits in the past and my favorite was their Smithwick's Ale kit.

I'm in

Thanks Again I am going to brew this on Sunday.

I bottled it this past Monday. I used a cup of corn sugar to carb it. I was happy with how clear it turned out

I am not sure what I should carb it with.. I have read that apple juice concentrate works pretty good. How would you calculate how much to use.

Thanks I am hoping that because it was only 1/2 gallon it will be ok.

I just made my first batch with Target Brand Cider. Batch size 5 1/2 g 1 1/2 lb. corn sugar 12 oz honey 1 pack ale yeast I brought 1/2 gallon to a slight boil then added the honey and sugar to dissolve. While the 1/2 gallon was cooling I added the remaining 5 gallons right to the carboy...

I am in!! Awesome news

If you every make it Delaware check out Two Stones Pub in Newark.

It has been in for about 2 weeks. I will leave it be for another 3 to 4 weeks before I crack another one open

Is it nornal for young beers in the conditioning stage to be heavy carbed? The flavor of the beer is really good. But there is more Carbernation then I would like..
