First off let me apologize for the bad experience you had. Not sure what kit you were brewing since I have 3 kits that have only 3lbs of LME. The Outback Honey Ale (also includes 2# of honey), Sprit of St Louis Lager (also includes 2# of rice extract) and the 10,000 Lakes Light Lager (also...

Welcome back!

You have some of the basics and are off to a good start. I would suggest getting the "Complete Joy of Homebrewing" one of those titles that everyone has in the library. I taught myself how to brew 20+ years ago and it's a classic. Might want to try some extract beers to get your feet wet but...

Welcome always nice to see someone get the bug again! Cheers!

Welcome! Cheers!

Welcome! Have you brewed before? Do you have equipment already?

That's too bad. At least you have 5 gallons of stuff to boil bratwurst.

Let us know how those well aged beers turned out. I was helping a friend move and we found a 6 pack of pale ale that he brewed 5 years ago. It was fantastic.

I know what you mean. Seems like every year back in the 80's somebody shot somebody's tires out with a rifle!

Better throw my hat in the ring too! http://www.windriverbrew.com/brewmasters.html Any questions let me know. Cheers!

You can also freeze the LME. If you have the room in the freezer I would just freeze the whole kit. (Take the liquid yeast out and put it in the fridge though!)

Welcome from the great northwoods of Wisconsin! Very cool about your grandfather, you must have inherited the beer gene!

Welcome. I have a few fond memories of Butte on St. Patricks Day!

Welcome to the forum. Always nice to have find some buddies to brew (and share beer) with! Cheers!

Welcome! Always good to have more opinions and experienced brewers on here. Cheers!

homebrewer 99- I wouldn't be too concerned about getting inspected. They are primarily concerned about CCD and some other diseases. Don't think you would get too hassled by the man for a hive or two. I would contact your local bee club. There seem to be one for every region in the country...

No Wisconsin doesn't require registration. I know some states are even offering grant money for hobby beekeepers to get them started. This is to boost the declining bee population which is becoming a serious problem in some areas. For anyone interested and not having the space- If you know...

Just wondering if anyone keeps bees. I started last year with two hives. I got about 10 gallons of honey last year. Things were looking good for both hives until we got a late March storm that blew the lid off of one of the hives. It never recovered so I'll have to get more bees for that one...

I've purchased seed from these guys before. They do a good job and will ship UPS. I have only ordered buckwheat, corn, and oat seed from, mostly for cover cropping and plowdowns. They do carry barley and wheat seed. Albert Lea Seed

Been having this issue with Wyeast 1056 for the past few years it seems. It seems to be a problem with just the 1056 since I have few problems with any of the other varieties. Should be fine to use. Good luck.
