Happened to see this article as I was browsing through the news online thought it was interesting. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/17/opinion/sunday/how-beer-gave-us-civilization.html?_r=0

On my second five gallon brew I decided to measure the accuracy of my ale pail's marked volumes. I measured out one gallon into a milk jug and continued to fill and mark all the way to six gallons on my 6.5 gallon bucket. Very interesting to see the difference...

Hi im TimDuncan200021 and I'm a beer perv. Lol I am on my 3rd beer ever and my second in my new 5 gallon setup. The belgian witbier has the blowoff and is 72 hours in and the other is my belgian tripel at 7 1/2 days. I just can't help but wake up in the morning and check on them. I don't open...

So after getting my taxes back the other day I went out today and bought my five gallon setup. I started with a mr beer that I got for Christmas and immediately fell in love with the hobby but knew I was going to have to expand and quick. So I bought three 6.5 gallon buckets to start my...

So I was just at a gas station with a buddy of mine, a die hard bud man, and he was picking up some his beer and I was along for the ride. My first brew just finished recently and I have been trying to get him to try it but he is dead set against it saying that nothing is better then bud. Now...

If I just made the worlds most amazing beer where would I go to pick up my plaque/medal/over-sized check?

Hi I am trying to put together a recipe using a can of mr beer american classic light that I have laying around. I know the hopville beer calculus has some mr beer cans in its database but not the one I have and it doesn't calculate any ibus for the can even though it is HME. I'm just trying To...

So after 10 days of conditioning in bottles I decided to grab a bottle, my last one to be filled, and check how the carbonation level is going so far. This is my first brew ever. I popped the bottle and the reassuring sound of co2 whooshing out made me smile first, and then the nice golden color...

So I just got into this addiction...urghhh I mean.... Hobby and I have my first batch bottle conditioning right now ready to be opened on Super Bowl Sunday. Well SWMBO have in and agreed that when we get out taxes back in 2-3 weeks that I can go purchase whatever equipment I wanted. I usually am...

So my first brew is conditioning in bottles right now, it is a mr beer american classic light HME with an added lb of light DME. It was definitely an adventure and not because of any technical brewing mistakes but because of kids who put ice cubes and toilet paper inside the lbk during the cold...

So earlier tonight I had a splitting migraine that i sometimes get and crashed out super early, like 6 pm. Well... I guess my wife sent the kids up to our bathroom to take a shower, something that they do with no problem regularly, and yesterday I had just placed my lbk in a ice water bath to...

I have a friend who has been homebrewing for a couple months, and has a couple brews under his belt. We got into a "discussion" on whether you have to like a hoppy beer in order to be A true home brewer? He enjoys heavy hopped IPA's and I enjoy more off Belgian tripel or almost any of the less...

Why is this hobby so dang addicting?!?!? I keep trying new craft brews and creating a line up of future brews! Will it ever end?!?

I am currently on my first brew, and I'm loving it, and this process has prompted me to start trying a bunch of different craft brews that I have never thought of trying before in an effort to find a style that I enjoy. After trying a bunch I found one that I absolutely love, "golden monkey" by...

Hey how's it going? So I am on my 6th day of fermentation and I opened the lid on the lbk this morning to take a quick peek, (only the second time I've done this), and I found this white spot on the fringe of this group of bubbles. It doesn't look good...

Hey how's it going? I just started my first brew yesterday in a mr beer, added 1lb of muntons light DME and it is happily fermenting away with a nice layer of krausen. While at my lhbs I bought a bag of brewers best conditioning tablets out of impulse. Just wanted to know if anyone has used...

Hey how's it going? So for Xmas the wife surprised me and got me a mr beer setup, pretty big surprise considering how against homebrewing she has been in the past to even obtain a mr beer. I've Lurked around here long enough to read all the stickies and obtain a basic knowledge even with the...
