It has to be only a few months ago that Stone and Ballast Point were equal in price, and because I liked sculpin more, I would buy that when given the option. At $17 after taxes, I almost never buy any ballast point beers in the store. I like to search for ones ive never tried but if im in a...

Is it cheap to ask for the bottle back? These 22oz that are 12 for $15 at my lhbs. Do you just give it to them and say sianara or ask for it back?

Ok so as a n00b with a Mr Beer kit I was on my third batch and I didn't want to just brew the HME kit. It was a pale ale kit and I decided to do some experimentation and throw some oats, brown sugar, and lemon in the boil. The lemons i quartered and and tossed in at flame out as I've read in...

I'm using the dry gold packet that comes in the HME cans. I figured the the yeast isn't choice, but I think the bready tomato soup after taste I got consistently through 3 batches was from pitching at too high a temp and not managing fermentation temps typically at an ambient air temp of 69-74...

It's been about 36 hours and I'm not getting good krausen. There are bubbles that show fermentation but it pretty weak. Also I'm getting a sour milk smell. It's not strong but it's there. Infected? Because I've been getting that damned after taste I really kept this batch cool, around 60-62. I...

I just looked at the mr beer site for this kit and the ABV is 3.7% (holy crap is that even considered a beer?) and I couldn't find anything for target OG. Maybe the low OG isn't really that far off after all. Thanks for the insight, I'm going to guess it was maybe a bit of both bad mixing and...

Hey guys, I did an American Porter kit last night and followed the instructions pretty well. I finally bought a hydrometer for testing gravity and was pretty excited to use it. When I tested the OG after cooling and before pitching, it was only 1.030??? I even cooled the sample down to the 59...

Rolling rock is pretty good haha. At Paulie Girl I don't know

Ok thanks. I normally did 2 weeks in fermenter then 3 in the bottle. I'll switch those around with this recent batch. Also I'll pick up some of that yeast you recommended from my LHBS. Would it be ok to put the LBK in a swamp cooler? Right now it's in a cooler that stays at 70 f.

:d :d

Hey, Ive brewed 3 batches of Mr Beer and they all have the same underlying taste. Its a bready sort of taste. I cant really pin point it but its the same through all batches. The one thing I know I messed up on in all 3 batches was pitching the yeast practically rigth after taking it off the...
