I made a couple of batches and enjoyed them for the most part, but now I'm kind of over the taste of it. Plus it's hangover juice because of all the added sugar. Does anyone have any alternate recipes they could suggest?

Hi all, I'm doing a Christmas Ale brew, and I'm not sure of the order/quantities I should add some of my ingredients in. I have: 3 oz NorthDown hops 1 oz Kent Golding hops jar of pumpkin pie spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger) bakers cocoa I also have some cinnamon sticks if...

I think the worst I've ever had was Lancaster Brewing Company in Harrisburg PA. I tried a bunch of their beers on tab at the brewpub, but they all had the same off-flavor, couldn't quite place what it was. Was expecting much better...they suck.

I'll be heading to the Outer Banks for a week of vacation in a month or so. Can anyone make any recommendations? I imagine the selection will be somewhat different from what I normally see here in NJ.

I normally brew the AHS kits, but this time I got a can of Edme Wheat and some steeping grains from the local homebrew store. Do I still need to boil for an hour after adding the extract (after steeping)? I'm not adding hops, so I don't know if this makes a difference.

I'm not talking extremely cheap, but I can't go wrong with McSorley's Ale at less than 6 bucks a six-pack. In this economy we all have to make sacrifices! What's your recommendation?

I'm in the midst of brewing AHS Old Speckled Hen, and the recipe calls for 9ounces of corn sugar. I have light DME I could use instead. Should I use it? How much would be equal to the 9 ounces of corn sugar? Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

No doubt some of you have tried adding extra corn sugar to make stronger apfelwein...how much did you add, and what was the result?

I just bought wort chiller and didn't get the adapter because I figured it wouldn't fit on the tap in my sink anyway. Can anyone recommend a good place to get something to hook it up other than Home Depot or my local hardware store? Or are those my only options?

I've only tried a few, but so far I LOVE their American Pale Ale and American Pale Ale 2 (no longer available). Their Old Ale and Arrogant Bastard kits also deserve an honorable mention.

What do you do with a batch of beer that went bad? Just tip it down the sink? I was wondering if it's worth spreading around the garden, or if my lawn could benefit from it. Or perhaps I could donate it to the local homeless shelter....:cross:

I have a 6 gallon Better Bottle, and I'd like to have more control over lagering temps than my basement room with an open window offers. Can anyone recommend me some equipment?

Hi All, I brewed my first lager on Sunday last week. I used an AHS kit with some Fermentis lager yeast. The yeast packet says the ideal temps are between 45 and 55. I'm using a room in my basement for the fermentation, so I've been able to control the temp with an open window, but the...

I opened a couple of bottles of my last batch, and one gushed a bit, while the other foamed a lot when I poured it out. Despite this, the head ahs no staying power, and the taste is kind of flat. I know there isn't much I can do at this point, but is there any chance my batch will imporve with...

As the weather gets colder I know my garage will probably stay in the 50s for a while, so I reckon the fermenting would go ok, but what happens to the bottles of lager when the weather warms up again? Will they go bad if kept in the 60s? No, I don't have a fridge.

I don't get it. I bottled my AHS American Pale Ale over a month ago, and there is still very little carbonation. I used the carbing sugar that came with the kit...boiled it in a couple of cups of water then mixed in the bottling bucket. This batch sat in secondary for a bit longer than normal...

My father in law has a bag of Saaz pellets that he has kept in the freezer for the last 10 years. They were sealed in double ziplock bags the whole time...would they still be useable?

Back in February I made a batch of Brewferm's Christmas Ale, and after a few weeks in the bottle it tasted terrible. The aroma was great but there was too much bitterness. The best way I can describe it is that it was too dark tasting. Well, I cracked open a bottle last night to see how it...
