Hey all, As I get the gear to do 5 gallon all grain, I am working on my technique and recipe building skills. I have built the following recipes using beersmtih, focusing on getting a taste for different grains. I also have a Vennia grain based recipe, but it appears to have not been saved...

Thanks for the nice comments, also thanks to everyone on this forum. This place has answered a lot oft questions and taught me good technique. This site is where I learned about partial mash, labels, wax seals. Just reading through these posts has really helped. Thanks

Last week of January 2013. So not quite a year. But a year sounds better.

I am in the Army. Before I deployed last year I made an Imperial Stout, using an Austin Homebrew partial Mash kit. I had it in a primary for a couple weeks, then moved to a secondary, where it spent the rest of the year, while I was deployed to Afghanistan. I came back early from deployment...

Thanks, I would like to force carb, but I don't have the gear. Plus I am giving it away to the people I was deployed with. A little welcome home gift. Even if it turns out bD, it is the best they have had in a year, plus free beer.

I have an Imperial Stout which has been in a secondary for almost a year. I am getting ready to bottle. I have some dry yeast I was going to rehydrate and add to the bottling bucket with the priming sugar. Should I add all of it, part of it? Thanks for any advice.

Yea I am still in the beginning stages with extract. I am looking into building a keezer or small fridge with a temp control in the next year so I can keep the temp steady. Depending on how well I progress I would like to do this as a partial mash, maybe a full grain. I am thinking on waiting...

I am looking at a Belgian strong ale. I would like to try a sour, but I never have drank one. Are there any good commercial ones I could try. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Hey all, I will be deploying next year. I have just started and really enjoy brewing my own beer. I would like to try and find a recepie for to sit in a fermenter while I am gone. The basic plan is to move to a secondary before I deploy, sometime between 6 and 9 months later rack it (while...

Great, Thanks

Hey all, I am getting ready to make the 1776 kit. Do these instructions sound right to you? I am trying to put together what I should do. I am reading how to brew, but this is my second batch and just trying to figure things out. Thanks ***Correction*** Helps to add the...

Thanks, it is hard to buy some of this stuff off the internet, but the closest HBS is about an hour away.

Hey All, I am upgrading from my Mr. Beer kit to a plastic bucket kit. I am buying my own buckets and lids. I just need to know what size drilled rubber stopper I should get for my airlock. I am drilling my own hole in the plastic bucket lid and just need to know the best size of stopper to...

Yea I meant the LME. THe Mr Beer makes a unhopped malt extract, that adds more flavor to the one can of LME that comes with the kit. Once again thanks to everyone that posted. I read through a lot of posts and it helped me out.

Hey all, For Christmas my wife gave me a Mr. Beer Kit. So I decided to take a look at home brewing. First off I am glad I did some reading before starting. The bad news is I did not have any UME and I used the standard yeast. The good news is I boiled all the water before started and I...
