Just curious if anybody has brewed a stout that came out with a watery feel? I'm going to let It sit for awhile but I'm not sure if that would even fix it. The taste is alright, better than I expected for being bottled for 17 days but the feel was like a bud light, hell maybe even lighter.

Monday I took a trip down to walmart In hopes of walking out with a new Remington 870 Express but sadly when it was called in it came back delayed. Not a problem, I understand there are things on my background that would throw some flags but I am 100 legal to possess a firearm. I was told by the...

I just bottled my Irish stout after fermenting for 17 days. I had a little left over and tasted it and it was pretty bitter, a little off, not sure how to explain it. I know It's flat and it still has atleast three weeks to age but I was just wondering can you even judge what your final beer...

It's been 48 hours and the airlock stopped bubbling like crazy as it was earlier today, I know it doesn't mean much but it was fun to check on. Now I know I'll leave it in the fermenter for at least 3-4 weeks so is it pretty useless to even open the bucket until that point? Probably a dumb...

I figured I would start out on my stove to keep everything nice in neat, I live in the country with no garage so outside is all dirt. I thought I could just brew inside until I saved up to pour a little slab, I need one anyways for the BBQ pit and what not but when I brought home my new 21 QT...

After countless hours of reading I'm still unsure on the best route to go. I've seen several starter kits but I'm still at a loss for which is best in value. I decided the easiest way would be to go step for step by John Palmer's equipment guide. Airlock Boiling Pot(canning pot) Bottles(48...

I've been wanting to brew for quite some time and with tax return money on it's way what better time to start than now? I'm addicted to anything considered DYI so I see this hobby getting expensive as time progresses but I don't think anything could compare in satisfaction. Anyways hopefully...
