Honey Brown Ale. Been in the bottles only 12 days but i just HAD to try one. If you can remember, I was a bit worried after tasting the wort and post fermentation, where I let it sit in the fermenter for 4 weeks (don't use a secondary....yet!) So I chilled her down, and poured into a nice...

I was wondering this. I have always used dry yeast or the smack pack from NB. Was thinking about going with the best liquid yeast I can for my next batch. So can you just pour liquid yeast right into the wort or do u have to make a starter with it first?? Just curious.... Thanks!

Looking at getting another ingredient kit for my next batch. I have noticed AHB is on the VERY high scale of the price range for kits against MANY other online companies. ALSO, they always make you buy seperate yeast at a pretty expensive upgrade cost. They also charge extra to include ice...

Can get that online for around $31, which is pretty cheap for that style. Has anyone brewed this from them?? Did it turn out well??? Any comments on Brewer's Best kits in general??? Notice most don't give you a yeast option upgrade, so we don't like that! Thanks.

Just finished a honey brown ale, and a guy I buy supplies from told me not to even bother with hops bags, just throw em right in. I did that, and they broke down almost completely. Didn't have ANY problem getting any hops during racking from the fermenter. So i say he suggestion was accurate...

Do i need special software??? I don't have photoshop currently. I think I want to call my little home brewery "Beaver Creek Brewery" with a picture of a beaver on it....should be funny. Then, just change the name and info on it as I brew different batches. So what do i need to make...

And it was actually 5 1/2 gallons in the fermenter. Honey nut ale. Hope this doesn't mean i filled the bottles too full!! Was thinking I should get 56-57 bottles out of it.

Been EXTREMELY busy lately. Haven't had time to bottle, going to do so tomorrow. Anywho, the beer sat in the fermenter about 4 weeks, was done fermenting in about 7 days. Think this will be any sort of problem??? It is a honey brown ale.

Hi, i LOVE Shiner Boch (original) Was wondering if anyone had a clone recipe for their beer. Let me know, THANKS!!

First batch went in the bucket last friday, stopped bubbling about tuesday. Took out a sample for #1 hydrometer reading today (will test and taste in about 1/2 hour) Anyways, when i opened the lid, their was a really, looked almost hard, dried foam crust all the way around the top of the...

The coolest thing happened to me today. My grandfather died about 6 months ago and today I went with parents to help them clean some stuff out of his house. I happen to look in a top kitchen cupboard, and what do i find???? I find about 6 bottles of "holiday ale" that my brother home brewed...

Put it in the fermenter in Friday afternoon. Was bubbling by Saturday afternoon. Was all done bubbling by Tuesday night. Was constantly around 66 degrees. Sound normal??? Will start my two day hydrometer readings tomorrow (Thurs.)

First batch was a honey brown ale. Did full boil with the full amount of LME. Target initial gravity was suppose to be around 1.050. I read it at 1.031. Is this bad?? What could have caused it to read so low??? Not enuf wort in the flask?? too much water or boil too long?? I am...

Was wondering about this. Let's say your fermentation is done after 5-7 days, but u let it sit in the fermenter another 7 to 10 days. (not using a secondary) Is this better, worse, or doesn't matter either way for the overall product?? I would think it would be better to let it sit a...

Am a noob, although did a batch a few years ago and noticed it was FAR from highly carbonated. Well, i was wondering, i have my priming sugar in hand but noticed coopers sells these carbonation drops, just put one in each bottle and you are ready to go. I am imagining maybe this is a better...

Hi, just completed my first batch, and we are now bubbling!!! Anywho, everything went great thru the full boil, chiller, and all that. well, sanitized the best i could.......and finally snaked a sample pre-yeast to check the gravity. It's a honey brown ale. Anyway, drank this beginning...

New to homebrewing, well did one batch a few years ago, but just getting back into it now, can't wait!
