    Developing your own Recipes

    @TinyHands I'm glad you liked the tea idea, it has served me well. I know the feeling behind purchasing a kit. You are at a homebrew store and looking around at different kits all one sees is someone else's work and idea - ultimately someone else's beer. I have discovered a way around this...

    Say No To Mr. Beer, The Gateway Drug To Homebrewing

    I'm doing all grain batches around 5 to 7 gals at a time. But I still couldn't turn down the opportunity to pick up another Mr. beer Kit at a yard sale. $5 brand new in the box!! Came with a 'Light American Ale' extract. Can't beat another 2.5 gal experiment chamber! The experiment...

    Beer with black tea?

    I dId this with light dme and earl grey. The end result was very sour and basicaly undrinkable. If I did it agaon I would add some sort of dark grains and hops to improve flavor and preservation. I can dig up my notes on the original brew if somone wants to see. Id like to revisit it one day.
