I do extract kit boils on a year old generic branded electric stove. Yeah, it takes about 1/2 hour or so to get the 5+ gallons to a boil after the 1/2 hour of keeping the grain at 155 degrees using the biggest burner mind you, but still works none the less. I ordered a flat top GE stove, which...

Hi all, Right now out of a bunch of filled carboys fermenting, I have 2 Midwest Supplies "specialty beer" kits going. They are both a winter beer, and take a few months of fermenting plus a few for better tasting beer after being bottled. The ones I got were the Winter ale...

Interested.

Hector - The beer doesn't have any bubbles coming up from it, just once every 30 to 45 seconds there is a small bubble of air in the airlock. No, i didn't taste it as it comes with 4 ounces of apple extract to add to the kit when bottling so figured i'd just ride it out and taste it from the...

Oh ok. Thanks mad milo. Yeah didn't even think of the yeast being slow. Like i had said, the yeast was bubbling like all get out for the first week to 10 days and since then it has slowed down rapidly. But being that i did use a cider yeast, then that would be the correct assumption. I'll take a...

Yes conman, I agree. After 3 weeks the yeast should be all but dead or almost dead. I've brewed over 70 gallons of beer within the past few months, but never have i had an airlock that was still bubbling after 3 weeks. Tipsy - I'll check the gravity here within the hour, so if the fg is on...

Recipe: 6 pounds pilsen lme 1 pound honey malt grain 1 pound brown sugar Plus the hops. The yeast i used was the cider wyeast activator.

Hi all, I bought a Cider ale kit from midwest supplies a while back. I brewed the batch and put it in the carboy on 5/15. So today will be 3 weeks that it has been in the carboy. The yeast fermentation was rapid for about the first week to 10 days. However, even after the 3 week mark, the...

Thanks for the reply. I've gotten some kits from Midwest supplies (those are the ones fermenting right now), and a book came with my fermenters. I don't really care if the "bud taste alike" really tastes like bud, as if it tastes decent for a beer, I'll drink it. I just wondered if you need or...

Hey all. I've started brewing roughly 2 weeks ago and have 3 batches currently fermenting / bottling. This past friday evening I went to a local homebrew shop. A friend of mine likes drinking Budweiser, so he suggested getting the following to brew: Muntons American Style Light Bag of Rice...
