The one that Yuengling makes is awesome IMHO, I drink those all the time. Guinness and Bass is still the best combo though. And Black Castles rock. Might have to try the Smithwick's and Guinness some time.

I've got the oatmeal stout in the fermentor now. I'll let you know in a few weeks.

I like the two for one idea.

Ok right now in my fermenter I have a recipe that I am trying to bring together. It consists of 2 cans of the Pale Ale, 1 can of golden wheat, centinnial hops that were boiled for 10 minutes and then colombus hops added to the wort just before the cold water and then a the mr. beer draft liquid...

I've been using seventh generation dish soap and one of those clothes that is meant for cleaning the screens on a flat screen tv's. Works pretty good for me.

+1, even on the being from NC.

If you are doing an iced tea and you are going to sweeten it later then I would recommend a simple syrup or something along those lines. Regular sugar just won't dissolve, take it from a southern sweet tea addict that has had to live up north.

Why not, if you are the adventurous type. You got to try new things, even if the sound a little crazy.

So my stout is about to go into bottles so I went ahead an ordered some more ingredients for the next batch. I ordered 2 cans WCPA, 1 can Golden Wheat UME, Centennial and Colombus pellet hops, and liquid draft yeast. I am thinking of adding the Centennial pellets first right after the extracts...

I forgot to mention that I was going to let it carbonate for a couple of weeks, before sticking it in the fridge. So far I like letting the beer age in the fridge rather than in the closet after carbonation. And about the yeast, it was puffed up almost 2 inches when I opened it so I figured it...

Thanks, sometimes I forget about the search function.

I like Guinness and I like the bottles they use so I was thinking about using some for bottling my own stout, anyway my question is should I remove the rocket widget before reusing the bottles?

So I just got my first batch of stout going Sunday night, well actually 2am Monday morning. I used one of the Mr. Beer kits and played around with it some. I used 1 can of their St. Patrick's Irish stout HME, 1 can of their creamy brown UME, 1 pack of Booster, and their Wyeast Labs liquid stout...

Well it just so happens that I really do enjoy making my own beer, and it tastes so much better since I made it myself. I would join CASK right away but I have to see how much longer I am going to be living in Jax. I might have to try and attend the next meeting to check things out. Thanks for...

Ok, so I am still using my Mr. Beer setup since I am still very much a novice at home brewing, and I have ordered some supplies from their website. I am trying to make a stout so I ordered their liquid stout yeast, which clearly says on the package to keep at a temp between I think 36- 40...

Ah, makes sense.

Can you use multiple strains of yeast in one batch of beer to try for a different flavor? Like say a dry yeast and a liquid yeast. Or is this just a terrible idea?

Hey guys, first post so I thought this would be a good palce to put it. Well I just started home brewing after my wife got me a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas. So far I have made the Pale Ale the kit came with, we have an apple cider carbonating now and I am about to start on a stout (my favorite...
