@Knightshade That's what I was hoping to hear. So activity has practically come to a crawl, so I'll move the temp from 64 to 68 today and let it keep on. Thank you for those recipe suggestions. I swear, I've gotten so many different recipes on my "make it" list now that my wife is going to start...

All, I've gone ahead and brewed the Honey Brown Ale on 6/6 and pitched two packets of US-05 and used plain distilled water. OG was supposed to be 1.053, but I came out with 1.056; hopefully that's not much of an issue. Everything else went according to plan without any mistakes that I'm aware...

Hey everyone, Thanks again for all the support and all the knowledge bombs! I really can't express all my gratitude here. I'm looking through this entire thread and I've learned so much from everyone in such a short time. @Knightshade Sadly, no. I haven't had a chance to brew that one yet. Work...

@GoodTruble When I ran my bottles thru the washer, I did not use soap during that cycle. I should have mentioned that. Just a hi-temp rinse with a heated dry. @bmc1313 Sadly no, I don't know anyone local, aside from the fella at the LHBS. As it stands, it seems the majority of everyone here...

My goodness, I wasn't expecting this mountain of responses. Thank you all so much for your time. For the first few Mr Beer kits I had brewed, I just used the filtered water from my fridge. I drink the water all day, and I had read that if I enjoyed it, it was likely fine for brewing. When all...

Hi all, I wasn't positive where to post this, so I hope right here is alright. I started brewing extract beer kits from Mr. Beer early last year. I believe I brewed a total of 9 of them. I picked out kits for different beer styles, stouts, ipas, ambers, porters, reds, and a weird one that used...
