I'm in!!

Thanks for all your responses. Topher, that was probably the simplest/best way I've had that explained to me so thank you for taking the time to share. I've decided to leave the brew as is and see what comes of it. It will be beer regardless and with the lower ABV maybe, just maybe, I'll have a...

I'm looking for a little advice from you guys. Yesterday I brewed a porter on my new brewing set up. It's a 3 keg all grain system but it was my first time using it so I don't have anything dialed in yet. I was so caught up in doing other things during the brew day that I didn't keep an eye on...

I played around with cherries for the first time last summer and I went with a wheat. This year I'm trying a Cherry IPA. I fermented the beer in my primary for about two weeks and it's been "dry hoping" with hops and cherries for about a week now and will be kegged this weekend. I boiled the...

Sorry about the link, not sure what the problem is/was but I found it on ABC's site. The "brew" is without hops. Here is the first paragraph: "What's the legal drinking age in dog years? That's what you might be asking yourself if you come across a bottle of Bowser Beer, a new brew crafted...

I don't know if this technically qualifies as beer but I thought I'd share this article with all the dog lovers out there. Non-alcoholic, non-carbonated meat broth and malted barley mixed together doesn't sound great to me but I'm sure my dog would love it. :mug...

Darn! Thanks for the quick reply though.

Was anyone able to get a copy of this for free? Right now it says the cost is $9.99. If you did get it maybe I could get a copy e-mailed to me???

Here's my first attempt at creating my own Red Ale recipe and I need some help tweaking it. Here is what I did: 10 lbs Maris Otter 1 lb Crystal 40 8 oz Roasted Barley 1 oz Willamette @60 min .5 oz East Kent Goldings @15 min .5 oz East Kent Goldings @5 Yeast US-05 After a quick taste...

So yesterday I was all set up to do my brew. I guess while I was letting my grain rest and watching football I had a few too many beers. By the time I started brewing and adding the hops I messed up the order. Anyone who watched the end of the Green Bay-New York game can understand how my...

In Toronto, I suggest going to Steam Whistle. http://www.steamwhistle.ca/. This brewery hits a soft spot for me. I was there earlier in the year and, as I see it, they are the catalyst that finally made me take the leap into home brewing. They only make one beer, a pilsner, but it's pretty good...

Thanks for the quick responses!!! They really helped out a lot. I'll check out the mild and maybe look into the recipe section of the site for a blonde. Cheers! :mug:

Can anyone suggest a recipe that can be ready to keg in 2 weeks or less? I am not able to lager. I can do AG or extract (prefer AG since I just got my set up :) ). I only have two AG's under my belt so I'm not really sure where to start. Thanks in advance for you help!

I have this in the secondary right now. I added a can of pumpkin when I did the grains from the extract kit. I'm pretty sure that wasn't right so I just added a little extra pumpkin pie spice at the end. :confused: So far (based on smell and the tastings from my gravity readings) it is more...

I'll be giving my first AG brew a go this weekend and first time SWMBO will be the brewing assistant. Cheers!

You're not alone my friend. I just did the same thing last weekend, only it was when I was cleaning my keg/lines. I had sanitizer all over the kitchen floor :mug:

Hello HBT! Since this is my first post I'd like to thank everyone on here for the advice/help/information that has been provided. With 5 extract brews under my belt I've decided to make the move to AG and invest in a kegging system all at the same time (SWMBO isn't exactly thrilled but...
