I am very interested in growing indoor hydroponic or aeroponic hops. But I need to know the types of nutrients needed to run the system. I've gotten in a little trouble in the past growing things indoors I shouldn't have. I've studied hydroponic grow books top to bottom, not sure if the...

#441: Your GIRLFRIEND can't decide what type of ingredients to buy you for valentines day because you've already brewed 3/4 of the brewers best kits and she doesn't like stouts.

Title speaks for itself. I "know" that there is a slight taste difference. But the price does say it all. $2 for sugar or $12-13 for 3 pounds of DME or LME. A penny for your thoughts...

I had the same kit. except i used a wheat malt liquid extract instead of sugar. the beer turned out horrible, pretty sure it was a sanitation issue. let me know how the beer turns out

One week in primary, which didn't have much activity. Siphoned into secondary for another week and a day after I racked into the secondary there was a lot of activity. then i bottled. Also, the taste never really changed after the first week. Like I said I did try the beer each week, but it's...

I siphoned every time. I really think this first batch was just a lack of knowledge of sanitation. I tried my best but overlooked a lot. Working to not make this another problem.

The first batch that I have brewed tastes horrible. It was a munton wheat extract kit(the kind in the two cans). During the fermentation process I tried a little bit every week, generally it had the same taste from the first week. Now, the only difference is that it's cold and carbonated. Its...

I've been using tap water in the airlock. first batch of beer tastes funny. could this be an (the) issue?

Did you pull it out? If so with your bare hands?

Blackberry Ale. May be a hit.

ill need two. 73162.

I just put this kit in the primary a week ago. I used 2 cups of candi beet sugar, 2 cups of corn sugar and 2 cups DME. Not sure about the outcome.

Also, the BREWFERM kit called for 15 liters of water. We used 5 gallons. Is this too much water? I surely do not want watered down beer.

the brew got colder

For sure go with it. I just bottled a week ago an right when I got the fermenter clean I was off putting another batch in. Too bad I waited two weeks to do it. Should have bought another bucket so I could keep a new batch going every week!

Yeah, It was my first time to bottle. I siphoned the beer out of the carboy to the primary. cleaned the bottles and added the sugar. As soon as I added the sugar it foamed over. We got a stir in or two but not much, we were afraid that is would do it again so we bottled.

"You're brewing a batch with 2 lbs of sugar and 1 lb of malt extract? Did you get this from a recipe? This is going to be hootch-like, I'm afraid." I'm using a BREWFERM beer kit, Tarwebier to be exact. It calls for six cups of sugar or 3.3 pounds of the liquid malt extract. So instead of...

I just started the second batch, a belgian wit. everything seems to be going great. Instead of brewing with the liquid malt extract, like the first. I brewed it with one pound candi beet sugar, one pound DME and one pound corn sugar. The fermentation was perfectly violent a night or two after...

If using a secondary, would it be considered triple fermented after the bottle conditioning is finished?

What about a combination of suger and DME?
