I have been playing with getting a good honey wheat beer that had both the honey taste and a real wheat flavoring. After several attempt I have come up with this one that is probably one of the best I have ever tasted. Kansas Honey Wheat Grain: 5 lbs. Pale 2-row Malt 2 lbs. Munich 2...

I have a Cenntenial and a Magnum that both have hops buds like that on them and a golding that has some smaller ones on it as well here in Kansas. I am kind of hoping to get a double batch out of them this year. They are all second year plants.

I have 3 different hops plants that are all in their second year. They are growing great but are already all loaded with hops. I know that harvest is usually not till late August to sept. So my question, is it possible that I will get an early harvest??

I use a manifold and have no problems at all with channeling and fly sparging. Cost for a manifold made it a lock for me. $5.99 for 4' 1/2" copper pipe and $.90 ea. for the corners and Ts at HD.

Just started doing this with my last brew. I have a 1/6 HP submersible pump that works great. I just fill a cooler with water from the hose, run the water through till the cooler is empty, refill with 5 gallons of water, 20 lbs ice and recurculated. Total time from boil to 68 degress was less...

I brewed this recipe with just one change. When I went to brew I found that I only had 6 # of Vienna Malt America on hand so ended up using that and 5 # of 2 row. It turned out great and I can not wait to brew this with all Vienna. Thanks for the Recipe.:rockin:

I can find a brewing app for Iphone, but not for the Instinct or any other phone. Does anyone know of one??

Well, Today I took the plung into the all grain reality. I was about out of beer and personally was not real happy with the extracts that I have been making so wanted to try my hand at all grain. I am a bit of a DIYer so went got some CPVC and a cooler to make my Mash tun, then went to the...

Ok, after much deliberating on this mater I went to the LHBS and bought some sorbate. I decided to keg anyway (that was the original plan before SWMBO stepped in) and just get a travel CO2 catridge for the LHBS to take along. This will allow me to sweeten it to her hearts desire and still take...

Another person in the area is great. There is a pretty good store in Olathe that is called Homebrew Pro Shoppe and I believe there is also one in Lee's Summit as well by the same name.

OG was 1.056. It is currently pretty clear but can still see some clouding. As for the cartridges, I have thought of that but have the bottles on hand, but still an option. DAMN one more choice.

Hey all, this is my first cider and so far all has gone well, It taste great to me but a bit to dry for SWMBO. I started this the weekend before christmas using Nottingham yeast, racked it to secondary middle of January and have let it sit since. For the last 2 weeks it has sat at a reading of...

This is the first beer that I ever home brewed and it was a partial grain stout. Very tasty if I do say so myself :mug: . I have two more brewing now and one on deck. I am addicted completely now.

The beer looks great SK. I have to say this is truely an addiction. I had a buddy that had a Mr. Beer kit and made a batch that I thought was pretty good but I thought " I can do better". I made my first batch of Irish Stout that I have so far only had a bottle a week out of, have to make sure...

Thanks for the link. This was driving me a bit nuts. Now it should be viewable.

Last Thursday I picked this beer cooler up for a steal ($50) :rockin: and new instantly that it would be my future kegerator. I will be ordering the parts soon but started the clean up already and decided that I would share in my great find and build up. This is the inside before cleaning and...

I have seen these on ebay as well for a really decent price but watch the seller. I am a bit of a chef myself and used Henckel knive and loved them but personally found that I like Furi knives a touch better so you may take a look at those as well. Both run about the same price.

Thank all for the welcome. I am excited about this. I am planning on keeping a build-up log on a blog but will also throw out updates on here as well.

Well I have been lurking here for a couple of months and decided that I needed to get at least one post out here. I am completely new to homebrewing but jumped in with both feet. I am not a big fan of real hoppy beers and figured that homebrewing was a way for me to make what I liked. I went to...
