After four batches, five gallons each, of "JOAM," I felt confidant enough to make this recipe. Under the guidance of my local homebrew shop, I used a (Now unknown) Champagne yeast and provided yeast nutrient for 5 days. Since then, it has been aging in a closet. That was back in January...

I found myself with a commercial display fridge that I've been using with just foil up on the inside of the display door, so I could keep the light controlled inside. That worked great for a while, but I started noticing that when I wasn't using it, mildew would collect where the foil...

BLUF: I'm not sure if I bottled too early, and I don't know how to tell or if there is a way to tell. Long version: After a few years of nothing but mead brewing, I decided to get back into proper drinks with a generic Hefe. The recipe is from the local brew shop; I can transcribe it here if...

This: http://picasaweb.google.com/111133224633014243310/BroncoBuilds#5548853993415012162 ...is the last of my first brew. Bottled 22 June 10, it's lived a long and happy life as my very first attempt. It served me well. I had a hard time being able to share it (Not for lack of...

I spent my time and money at Austin Homebrew and wound up with a nice "Texas," red ale several weeks later. I've dubbed it "Scheißebrau." Everything went without incident thanks, in no small part, to lurking on this board. Well, after consuming 1 of 2 cases, I can say that I'm really...

So, yesterday I went and bit the bullet. Cruised down to Austin Homebrew and bought just about everything I need. I forgot to get the stopper for the Better Bottle, but that's for a few weeks down the line. I'd planned on having this brew ready for a birthday that's coming up, but I...

...and vent some excitement. I'd mentioned to my significant other that I would like to try this home brew thing. It really was just in passing and several months ago at that. Well, a few months later, she sent me some mail with a little Amazon flyer showing that she'd bought me the...

I'm not 100% sure that this is the right spot for the question. BUT, I just found some potentially devistating news: My significant other is now allergic to yeast!! Disaster! Or not? From what I'm gathering as I look through here, it appears that the yeast dies off at some point...

I had to drop by and say hello: Hello. I'm currently in the wonderful world of Afghanistan but I'm starting to pack up to head back. It's been a long party, but it's closing down now. Anyhow, my wonderful girlfriend had heard me mention that I'd like to give brewing a whirl and gifted...
