This is my favorite all around go to beer. I have a (2) super market-esque liquor stores near me that have lots and lots of beers and always carried this. In the past 6 months, they have no longer carried it. Since the store had such a huge selection of beers i usually tried something new...

My 2cents: Caribou Slobber was the first batch i cooked from the NB deluxe starter kit. I'm not a beer snob, but i do enjoy a vast variety, unlike most of my friends who drink mostly generic domestics, but everyone of them, family & friends all liked the caribou slobber. I'm almost annoyed i...

Thanks all for the reply. I actually forgot to add that the dry hops (pellets) came with a small muslin bag. if i do use the bag, do i need to santize it (star san) and teh rope need to hang it? I'll probably just drop them in the 2nd and be careful before racking to bottle bucket...

Bought an extract kit from a local home brew shop. the directions are pretty standard. this is my 4th batch and directionally they were all relatively the same and easy to follow. This is the first kit i purchased that has "dry hops" (0.33 oz Kent Goldings) and i knew beforehand not to add...

thanks, i was thinking the same thing, although i guess i wasn't thinking it when i bought the speidel (not that i don't like it). unfortunately, i haven't graduated to kegging yet.

I've a robust porter sitting in a 30L speidel for 4 weeks, time to bottle. Is it better to transfer to bottling bucket (putting the priming sugar in first, then transferring liquid) or should i just pour the priming sugar in the speidel and stir gently with a sanitized spoon/paddle?....then...

awesome, thanks for the feedback. being the noob still, i am strictly extract till i start tasting the patches i have in fermentors and bottles. but i'll heed you advice, something to look forward to after i get rid of these 15 gallons of brew i'll have laying around (which, as long as they...

i've read about vanilla beans, seems the way to go for that flavor. The Nitro tap will have to be on hold. I assume that isn't a quick fix and with expense caps, probably not something in the near future. although something to ponder in the meantime. if you know of any recipes for "smooth"...

Probably not the favorite variety on homebrew sites, but i've been particularly enjoying the likes of Tetley's Smooth Flow, John Smiths Extra Smooth, Wexford Irish Cream Ale and Old Speckled Hen. The "Nitro" 16 oz'ers. For my second batch, i purchased an extract recipe from a LHBS. it's a...

thanks. good to know.

Still a noob and ordered a second primary fermenter while I have a batch in my NB 6g prime bubbler and secondary. I ordered the speidel 7.9g fermenter and it looks pretty sweet. Upon inspection I noticed a scratch on the Airlock (picture). It doesn't seem to be on the inside or outside and...

Greetings lads, Allow me to preface: I'm a 3 week noob, read John Palmer book, read many HB forums over the past few months, finally purchased NB deluxe starter kit. No Hydrometer yet. Questions: Since reading Growler bottles are a no-no for bottling (pressure?), is it safe to use the 1L...
