I'm just a rookie at brewing so I need to ask a question or two. Which of these three kits would be a sweeter brew? http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_452_638&products_id=12914 http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_452_638&products_id=12915...

Just brewed up an AHS Chocolate Stout kit this morning. After 1 1/2 hours it's coming out the lid!!! Never seen fermentation like this before. Will it settle down quickly or can it go like this for days? I rigged up a blowoff tube but the lid is still bulging!!!

Bottled my Nut Brown Ale last Wed after 4 weeks in primary. Recipe was 1 can Munton's Nut Brown Ale mix (3.3 lbs.) 2 lbs. dark DME Muntons yeast OG was 1.047 FG was 1.021 for three testings. 3/4 cup of corn sugar for priming Any ways, after just one week in the bottle, it is...

I mixed up a batch of Munton's Nut Brown Ale (3.3 lb. can of extract) with 2 lbs. of Dark DME and only used 5 gals.of water instead of 6 like the can called for. My OG was 1.047. After 4 weeks, my FG is at a stationary 1.021. Am I ready to bottle or do I need it to drop some more? Thanks

At what temp does fermentation cease with Ale yeast? I know different strains react differently but what is the rule of thumb. I was going strong at 69-70 degrees but slowed, possibly just due to being finished, when the temp dropped to 67- 68 degree's. It is Munton's Ale Yeast but I plan to try...

I just opened my Honey Wheat that has been carbonating for three weeks and it is DEAD FLAT!! I then opened another with the idea to add more priming sugar and re-cap but when I tried, it gushered like Mount St Helens!! How do you accomplish adding additional primer? I thought I'd try a few and...

Ok. As a new brewer I need some advise. I have a can of Munton's Nut Brown Ale, Two pounds of Extra dark DME, and plenty of corn sugar. What sort of proportions can I use and what will I end up with. I'm thinking the Munton's, both pounds of DME and about a pound of sugar but don't have a clue...

Sorry for all of the questions I have but without a Brew Store locally you guys are all I've got. Anyays, I made a Honey Wheat for my First real brew ( Read not Mr Beer). I opened my first bottle last night (just for a taste test, and it has a very strong honey flavor. Almost as if I had...

I am about to brew A can of Munton's Nut Brown Ale and it calls for 2 lbs. corn sugar. I have 2 lbs of Dark DME. here that I'd like to use instead. How much corn sugar would you add to this mix to bring it up to a respectable level? This is only my second batch unless you count the one batch...

I am using 1 Step sanitizer and need to know if your bottles need to be completely dry before bottling or can you just drain them for a few minutes and then bottle while still wet inside? Thanks

Why don't we start a listing of Brew Shops around where we live. It would help a lot of us who travel alot to find one while we're on the road. Myself, I don't have any nearby but know of a couple several miles from here. The Beer and Wine Shop in Follansbee, WVa. You could list the town in...

Sorry if some of my questions are pretty basic but we have no local brew store and I'm flying alone here. This is my first batch since my MR BEER and they have no airlock so I don't have anything to base my airlock activity on. I made a Cooper's Wheat with 1 can Extract, 500 grams of...

Will you see the kraussen floating on the top in your primary after it falls? I have a Honey Wheat going and the fermentation seems to have dropped off and when I looked in the bucket, there is a sort of broken crust floating all over the top of the beer. It looks just like what is on the sides...

Hi guys (and gals) I am looking at learning to brew but am only looking at small batches, so my first question is, can you get a good brew with the Mr Beer kits? Is there anything I can get to go along with the kit (Some sort of secondary or something along those lines) to improve my batches...
