I've posted this on another, more general site and got confusing responses. So I figured I would post it here, to a more focused group. This may only happen to me, but Im guessing it happens to everyone. If you've been drinking and you're near/over your personal limit.... every time you take...

Ok, So this question doesn't involve home brew, but store bought beer. When I buy beer, I usually buy Yuengling. My local stores usually have 16oz cans for $1 and contains the usual 4.5% alcohol. Lately one of my stores has run out of the 16oz cans so I tried the Bud Light Lime-a-rita, which is...

So what ever happened to this brew? I am looking for a Smithwicks clone for my second batch and as I am still a newbie I would need a kit.

Thanks for the responses. No, I don't have an issue with sugar. What Silver said makes a lot of sense. I will have to try out his suggestion next time.

I have thought of this as a possibility, thinking that because I knew there was alcohol in it, that's why I couldn't swallow it... however I haven't been able to scientifically test this yet.... I'm hoping to in the future though...

First off, I haven't posted much to this forum, so I fully understand if this post gets moved. With that said: I've been drinking for many years (I'm 32 now) and I've noticed something and figured I would ask to see if it happens to anyone else. When I'm at a party and have been drinking...

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. Everyone's friendly attitudes has totally revived my desire to start brewing again. I am planning on visiting my local HBS tomorrow to see how much it will cost to get me up and running again.

WOW!.... that's all I have to say... WOW! I popped the top, there was a *little* more 'ssst' than there was 3.5 years ago, but when I poured it there was actually head! Though, it quickly diminished with no stick, by the time I got the picture taken it was about half as much as there...

I know I am reviving a VERY old thread here, but I believe I should do it this way due to what I have to say.... I was going through my garage yesterday (gathering my equipment to get ready to start brewing again) and I actually found these bottles. Yes, they are still sealed. I am really...

Well, I let it sit for another hour and gave it another try and it worked. So I guess 15mins on this forum is actually about 2 hours, he he.

Ya. I usually use the generic firefox password keeper for my non-essential passwords (ie not for bank or credit card accounts) but it has been more than 3 years since I've logged in on here and I have changed my compute since then. It's all good though. But I just want to be able to get on my...

I haven't been on this forum in years. So when I decided to log in today I had trouble remembering my account info. As such I ended up using all of my "tries" to log in and got the "you must wait 15 minutes before trying again" message. It has now been over an hour and I am still getting the...

.OK, I had brewed a wheat beer that I had intended on flavoring with some orange peel, which I successfully did. However, when it came time to bottle, I realized I didn't have enough bottle caps. I was working 7 days a week and didn't have enough time to go to the LBH to get more (and YES, I...

Thanks for the quick replies, I have answered your questions below. Also, a note. I used a kit for this batch. mr_stimey: Possible, but I have had various commercial beers, as well as my last batch of HB in my fridge before and they all seemed ok. Again, possible... but the way I...

I am posting in the Beginners cause this is my second batch and I consider myself still a nOOb As of yesterday, my beer had been bottled for 3 weeks. I popped one open, to find there was very little carbonation in it. I poured it into my glass and there was no foam. It has a very bitter taste...

Then what is the average time to chill a 5 gallon batch down to 70 degrees? I was under the assumption that I need to do it within like 10-15 mins

Ya, that's what I had intended on doing. But like I said... I ran out of ice, he he. Ok, well, thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to stock up on ice next time.

Ok, what I really mean is. Can adding my yeast before the temp of my wort gets below 80 degrees affect the alcohol content of my final product? I'm sure it can, but I just wanted to ask here to make sure. I brewed a batch last week and after adding my ice to cool it, I only had it down to 100...

Good point. I have contacted the manufacturer, (as I discarded all of the packaging after my wort was in my primary) and hopefully, they can give me a general OG for the beer. As for transfering, I was monitoring the bubbles coming out of my airlock. As I'm still a newbie to this and have...

Please, post the make and model. This sounds exactly like what I'm looking for.
