So the Whole Foods near me has the 1-gallon apple juice jugs on sale this week so I figured I would pop in here to see what I should know. I am sure it has been brought up a bunch but its hard to search for the term 1-gallon in this forum because I get hits on the word gallon. So I found this...

I brewed my first all-grain batch in over a year this morning and only had used the Mr. Beer kegs previously, never used a "carboy" that required a blowoff tube. I checked it before going to bed this evening and there is dried beer / krausen in my blowoff tube (as seen below). I am assuming...

I am getting back into brewing after a long hiatus and want to make sure I have brushed up enough on my reading & memory to start again. I bought a Brooklyn Brewshop kit and want to do it as a BIAB since I remember using the paint strainer back from Home Depot made the brewing process and...

Decided to break out my camera while I was brewing my Chocolate Stout this weekend and this is what I came up with. I might do this for more of my brews and throw together a poster or something after a few brew sessions. Hope you enjoy it!

I brewed up a 2.5 gallon batch of a chocolate stout yesterday and upon recommendation from the original recipe used WLP004 for my yeast. I pitched about 3/4 of the vile as it says to use 1 vile for a 5-gallon batch. The yeast had been stored in my fridge for the week and then was taken out the...

Bit of back story before my question: I got a Mr. Beer kit for Hanukkah this year and have been loving it so far. My friend got the Beer Machine and his dad bought him 7-8 of the bagged mixes they sell. He asked me if I wanted to brew one since he had so many and we could just split the beers...

I have Palate Wrecker (but also taking East Coast requests) I could trade for some Hopslam, but I have yet to try it and really want to based on the rave reviews of it. :mug:

Simply type the word “lager” in the A1 cell of the spreadsheet and then “ipa” in the A2 cell. Highlight both, hold the option key (or CTRL for you Windows users) and drag the bottom cell down. You’ll get something that looks like this...

I found this recipe for a nice mint chocolate stout on these forums and scaled it down to 2.5 gallons (recipe and link below). One of my friends who has been brewing for a while recommended I added lactose in a ratio of 2:1 (6 ounces below) to compensate for my unsweetened cocoa powder? What...

Anyone have a favorite coffee porter recipe? My friend is brewing his chocolate maple porter from Brooklyn Brew Shop this weekend and I wanna brew a similar style so we can be ready at the same time for bottling, etc. Thanks!

After brewing 6-7 extract beers I decided I wanted to try my hand at a BIAB recipe and based on a suggestion from a friend I decided to do a very simple almost "SMaSH" recipe with a different hop each time I brew it so that Icould see what each hop does to the same base beer. I am definitely...

This may be one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time - Beer Maker Builds a Raspberry Pi Tap List for His Home Brews http://www.wired.com/design/2013/02/raspbeery-pi

Was browsing Kickstarter this morning and stumbled across this awesome Beer posted and thought of no better place to post it but here - figured everyone would enjoy it. Definitely buying myself one to hang on the wall...

Hello everyone & Merry Christmas to everyone! I bottled my first batch from my Mr. Beer kit on Monday (received it for Hanukkah this year). I bottled into 3 of the 1-Liter PET Bottles and the rest into 12oz glass bottles as people recommended the 1L bottles to test for carbonation progress as...

So I currently have some Mr. Beer kegs that I would like to continue to brew in for practice before I jump into buying more equipment and for the fact that I already have them. I have read around here that instead of jumping into All Grain I might be better off looking into Extract Recipes. Two...

So I currently have my Classic American Light beer recipe from Mr. Beer (got it from a kit) fermenting in my brown keg and I am really getting the itch to do something as soon as its done. I have been doing some research and my friend picked up a kit from Brooklyn Brewshop. It seems to be a...

Quick question that I was thinking about the other day and finally have a place to ask it. My first homebrew (via the Mr. Beer kit) is currently fermenting and I plan to bottle it in the included 1-liter PET bottles so that I can tell when carbonation is done (via stiffness of bottle) as well as...

When I first moved into my apartment 6-7 months ago we had a centipede problem where we would see a few every week. We finally got it taken care of and I recently started home brewing with a Hanukkah gift I received earlier in the week. My question is if the fermenting process or the process of...

Hello All! Last night I received a Mr. Beer homebrew kit for Hanukkah and I am extremely, extremely excited to start brewing. I plan on starting the process tonight when I get home from work. I bought myself some bottles from the website as my kit didn't come with it, but I will be using...
