Yuengling is my go-to budget beer.

Looks interesting! I'm in.

Just ordered my first kit from MoreBeer (Pale Ale). Been ordering from Austin but figured I'd try MB as it's closer to where I am. Cleaning bottles out this morning and can't wait to brew next weekend. Been almost a year since I've brewed anything.

Hi Kevin. Congrats on your first batch! 1. C-Brite is a no-rinse sanitizer. 2. You'll want to crack open those grains. A rolling pin usually does the trick for me. Just remember, you want cracked grains not powdered. 3. Sorry, not sure about the lemon. Are you sure you want to lemon-up a...

Just tasted it. Seems ok to me. Gonna go ahead and bottle it. Thank you very, very much everyone for your help! :mug:

See if this link works. That's the pic taken before I moved the carboy. When I moved it afterwards most of the bigger bubbles went away.

I have NEVER seen this happen before. I made a dry stout on 2/6/11. It was a extract kit from AHS. Everything went well. SG and OG were on target. (1.055 - 1.015) I transferred to secondary on 2/16/11 planning on bottling last weekend. I had to put it off until this weekend tho, so it was in...

Ha! I know what you mean about watching the bubbles! Congrats on your first batch and nice job on the blog too. :rockin:

Apparently I need to pay closer attention when I'm putting these things together. The golden naked oats aren't supposed to take the place of oatmeal. It's a specialty grain that contributes a bit of nutty flavor and supposedly helps with giving the beer a nice head.

Holy cow. Sorry about that! It was originally 8 lbs base malt. Also, I didn't know that about the oats and barley. Thanks.

Welcome BarleyandApple. Like you my love of cooking stoked my interest in home brew. It will be interesting to hear how you make out with your local ingredients. Good luck! :mug:

Welcome fred! Hope you enjoy homebrewing as much as the rest of us here. This site is LOADED with great info and great people. :mug:

^ I do the same thing. A little messy, but it seems to be the easiest for me.

^heh. I'll have to remember that one! Welcome flavin. :mug:

Welcome Abushman! :mug: Dog lovers here too! All 3 of ours are named after beers.

Welcome! :mug:

Thanks all! I cracked one open after conditioning for only a week. My curiosity got the better of me! Great color and carbonation. Had a great head for about 20 seconds, then it was gone completely. Tasted kinda harsh too! I'll (try to) leave it alone for at least another 3 weeks. Patience...

Hello everyone. I just started brewing again last month after a 10 year hiatus. After moving about the east coast we finally settled down back in our hometown. I decided to start from scratch again and purchased the Deluxe Brewer's Best Equipment Kit and a Brewer's Best Summer Ale kit. Brew...
