    Bottling

    Just bottled my second batch, an American Wheat with some Agave. Can't wait for the carbonation. I'll wait at least two weeks, maybe three, but I think it's going to be pretty good. One thing, though. After my first batch, I bought a Vinator bottle rinser. What a superb purchase. Made...

    I'm making an Agave Wheat. I'm using a True Brew American Wheat recipe kit that calls for an OG of 1.049 - 1.051. I added app 10 oz of Agave with 10 minutes left in the boil, and then another 10 oz at flame out. Adjusted for temperature, my OG was 1.057. I pitched my yeast at about 73...

    Bottled

    Got a True Brew German Style Light kit for Christmas. It's spent the last 14 days in the bucket. FG has held steady since Friday at 1.011, so I bottled it today. I wasted some, by not siphoning all that I could, and by not have the drain tightened enough (big mess, but oh well). The sample...

    Started my first batch

    Got a True Brew Equipment Kit from Santa, and a True Brew German Style Light Ingredient Kit from the son and daughter in law. Finally, a week later, I got everything together and started my first attempt at home brewing. So far, everything seemed to go pretty well. Takes a long time to get...

    New from the Space Coast

    Hi, thought I'd drop a quick line of introduction. I live on the Space Coast of Florida. Santa brought me a home brew kit and I'm anxious to start my first batch. I tried winemaking years ago, and never really got into it. Of course, I also didn't like wine as much as I like beer. I don't...
