So, I've got my STC1000, and my Freezer ready to go. I realized I don't have any wires. Being the horder that I am, I dug around in some boxes, and found these computer wires. One of them is the 3 prong cable and the other cable is only 2. Would these work just fine when wiring up my...

So, I was going to buy a chest style freezer, and toss a thermostat controller on it to use as a climate controlled fermentation chamber. At most, I'll only ever have 2 carboys going at once, and I only one 1 so far. I haven't gotten the chest freezer yet, but I do have an extra full size...

So I have two fermenters that are at 3 weeks today and I need to get them bottled. My first question is: Is 3 weeks fermenting good? I know a lot of people do 2 weeks. They stayed between 62-65F the entire time and in a dark place. I plan on bottle carbing for 3 weeks, and then 1 week in the...

********** ***TLDR: How much priming sugar do I use for a batch priming a Mr. Beer ********** Quoting myself on this. I used one of these calculator web sites to try to figure this out. The beer I'm making is the Czech Republic Pilsner. I wasn't sure what to put for the BJCP style, so I put...

So it has been 10 days. Here is an update on the pictures. Again, this is my first 5 gallon batch, and first time in a clear carboy, so I just want to make sure it looks right! I'm going with a 3-2-1 because I added honey. If you think it should stay in a certain stage longer or...

So, I put together my very first 5 gallon batch today. It's an DME American Wheat Ale (I added 1 lb of honey after I turned off the boil) from More Beer. I'm a little concerned, as it looks like soup that I left out for a couple days... It has a lot of stuff floating in it... see the...

So I'm trying to find some recipes for 3 of my favorite beers. I want to brew: Bell's Two Hearted Ale, Bell's Oberon, Rogue Dead Guy, and a Cherry Stout. I am still VERY new to brewing, and I do not want to try an AG batch yet. I'm looking for simple, Malt Extract kits. This recipe was...

So, I have been starting up a few batches of beer. I'm really excited. One is in the bottle, and the other is fermenting still. I think mead would be a neat beverage to attempt next. I understand at the minimum, I can toss some yeast, 1 gallon of water, and 3 lbs of honey in a fermenter and a...

The one on the left came with a Mr. Beer kit, so I'm sure it will work. The one on the right in the red packet came from a restaurant bar. They mix it with water, and use it on glassware at the bar. Think it will work?

So, I adopted a pot from a relative, that looks to be about 3 gallons. I'll measure it in a bit, and update this post. I have read on many different directions (including the one that came with my extract brewing kit). They say you can use a 3 gallon, 5 gallon, and even a 7.5 gallon brew pot...

So, Mr.B specifies 68°-76° for fermentation. I have gotten mixed answers as to what this temperature reading is. Is this the temperature the ambient air NEAR the LBK needs to be, or is this the temp that the CONTENTS of the LBK need to be? I have a small portable thermometer that says the...

Ok, so I have ordered tons of goodies to start brewing beer. I have some already going in my Mr. Beer kit. I refuse to buy empty brown glass bottles for more than $1 each when I can go to the local walmart, get a 24 pack of Sam Adams for LESS than $1 each, and they come with BEER in them...

So, I have had my Mexican Cerveza in my Mr. Beer for almost 2 days now. It's for my wife, as I am not a fan of Corona or Dos Equis. She also likes to put Lime in her beer. Would it be feasible to peel some limes, and drop them in the fermentor to give it a natural lime flavor? Would...

So, I'm still brand new. I haven't even bottled my first batch (though it is fermenting in my Mr. Beer as I type this). I have been reading a ton on this forum, and I want to order some carboys/better bottles and get started on a 5 gallon batch of something... well, something different! I...

So, my MRB should be here tmorrow if UPS Tracking can be trusted. After work today, I decided to go see my parents. Dad and I were hanging out on the porch drinking a cold one, and talking about Alabama vs Notre Dame coming up in a couple days. I mention that I ordered a beer brewing starter...

Hi everyone. New to the forums. Looking into home brewing, and kegerators. Always wanted to get into this hobby, just never had the time, or money. I'm curious... do you guys know if this forum supports Tapatalk (App for Android). If not, think you guys could get a mod to head...
