When I first got into craft beer (which wasn't even that long ago, less than a year), I hated IPAs. I considered myself the opposite of a hop head. I was (and still am!) a huge stout fan. The thicker and darker a beer is, the better. Now though, I find myself seeking out different IPAs...

I plan on bottling an IPA that I've been putting off for a while. I'm new to all of this, I like brewing, but holy **** do I hate some parts of it. Bottling is a pain, but not as bad as I was expecting. I just really, really hate cleaning. Oh god, do I hate cleaning. I've almost considered...

I just started a week ago. Been cigarette free for a few days now and I already I breathe better. It's pretty amazing stuff. I still get minor cigarette urges, but they're quickly satiated after a minute or two of having snus under my upper lip. And I'm not talking about the mediocre Camel...

I've only had one smoked beer in my life. I can't even remember what it was called, but it was rated fairly high on BA/RB as far as smoked beers went. I can honestly say that is the only beer style I've ever encountered that I wouldn't be willing to try again. It became a little more...

Usually have 2-4 on nights that I'm off (I work 12 hour shifts, so I only work 3 days a week). When I go out, I switch to Bud Light (BMC is about all there is for selection in local bars) and can finish off 10 - 20 of them.

As someone who has homebrewed for only 2 1/2 weeks.. 12.5 gallons. 5 gallons of an IPA and a Trappist (partial grain) and a 2.5 gallon Mr. Beer extract kit IPA

You fail to mention how long they've been fermenting.

So I used Mr. Beer for the first time. I'm still new to this hobby, but I had another bag of yeast sitting around (Safbrew t-58?). I'm assuming it was intended for a 5 gallon batch, since it came with a 5 gallon recipe kit. Did I screw things up by adding the full bag to the Mr. Beer kit...

So I just made my first two attempts at brewing over the last couple days. I had picked up a Mr. Beer from Woot.com and a "real" kit from Midwest Supplies (Intermediate kit). I came to this forum, I picked up "How to Brew" by Palmer. And it all seems so complicated. The sheer amount of...

Huh, I clicked the "Prost this thread!" button. I don't know what that does. Anyway. Like I said, I ordered a Mr. Beer from Woot. It arrived today. The spigot was missing the nut, so I had no way of making it water tight. Hugely disappointed as I was starting to get excited, even...

I also bought mine on woot. I went to set everything up, kind of excited to try it out, and hey, look at that. I'm missing the nut for the tap assembly, so it leaks.. a lot.

First, forgive me if I ramble. I've been drinking. I always had an interest in getting into homebrewing. I decided I'd do it one day, but I didn't know when. A few days ago, as some of you may know, Woot.com offered the Mr. Beer kit for just $20. Awesome. I ordered it without much...
