Hey everyone, I've been hard at work on my keezer build this week, and I thought I'd share what I've done. I should preface this by stating I've never, ever worked with a single piece of wood before, nor have I any experience with tools. So, it's been a learning process! I decided to...

Hello all, I recently brewed the St. Paul Porter kit from Northern Brewer, and got a consistent final gravity reading over the past couple of days. However, the numbers seem a bit off. I got an OG reading of 1.048 and a FG reading of 1.021. From what I can tell, that's about 3.5% ABV...

Hey everyone, I haven't posted on this board in a couple of years, which was the last time I brewed. But I just decided today that I'm going to start up again. Haven't picked up supplies yet, but I did make a label : ) Thoughts? :drunk::rockin: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/poivre

Hey there, So, I currently have a batch in a secondary carboy, and I wanted to brew another today. I only have one airlock at the moment, which is attached to the secondary. Do I need to go pick up a second airlock so I can put a new batch in the primary, or can I put something else on...

Hey there, So I've had some time to waste this week and my LHBS is only open a few days, so I have planned my next few brews and made some labels for them... basically modified versions of my first label. Below are all of them so far. Obviously ABV and tasting descriptions will be changed...

Hey guys and gals, So, I'll be the first to admit that I am an impatient person when it comes to stuff like this (wrong hobby, I know), but I brewed my first batch last week and HAD to try it. Fermentation finished within 4 days, and I bottled it shortly after. It's been bottled for about 5...

Hey everyone, I brewed my first batch last week, and I had a question regarding the steeping of the grains. I had used a kit, and wasn't exactly clear about what to do when the directions said to put the grain bags in the water, heat water, and steep for twenty minutes. The directions made it...

Hello all, I just wanted to introduce myself quickly. My name is Jared, and I just brewed my first batch last week. I'm very excited about it.. can't wait to taste it! So far it has been a great learning experience, but theres still so much that I feel I need to learn. I'm looking...

Hey everyone. This is my first post here, and I just wanted to thank everyone for creating such a terrific resource. I bottled my first homebrew ever just yesterday. It was the Brewer's Best kit IPA. While I do feel slightly guilty assigning my own name to a kit beer, I am still very proud...
