This beer is my first designed from scratch. Although I did get my inspiration from one of Yoopers recipies. All my other brews to this point have been kits or recipes that I’ve obtained from others. Things I wanted with this beer were to be higher alcohol, a hoppier taste, more earthy...

They've had this for a few years and I've never been, but from what friends who've been have told me, this is a really great show. Here's a link if anyone is interested in checking it out. It's coming up April 5-6th. To fully enjoy, you may want to bring along a designated driver :drunk: o)...

Just wondering about any thoughts on this recipe. My buddy and I will be brewing next weekend. We started with an American Pale Ale type base and in fact I "borrowed" Yooper's basic grain bill from her house pale ale. We didn't want a citrus or flowery taste, nor anything too spicy. We did want...

I brewed up a California Pale Ale about 6 weeks ago using a Mr. Beer Kit. I was thrilled with how it came out after straying from the recipe by adding some crushed dried orange peel and some finishing hops. So, now I'm hooked and got all the equipment (NB Deluxe) and brewed my 1st 5 gal batch...

Just thought I'd say hey and introduce myself. I've been reading this forum for about 6 weeks and just started with a Mr. Beer kit. I just tasted my first brew and was very pleased and excited! I just had to tell someone Finally after years of thinking about it, I stopped into my local Homebrew...
