I have had a batch in since the 8th of this month. I just tasted a lil bit since the fermentation was slowing waaaaayyyyyyy down. I had just bought some Hornsby's hard cider and it had a little bit more of the apple flavor i was hoping the apfelwein would have. I thought about getting some...

I brewed a batch of American Cream Stout Saturday night. I done everything to the T and everything was going good. Pitched the yeast and put the blow-off on the fermenter and let it be. Up until a couple days ago it was fermenting like crazy. After the krausen settled back i switched it to...

I had plenty of water to start with before the brew. I may have boiled it too long. I dunno..:confused:

Well, I just finished making Ludwig's German Pilsner last night. I think i know where i went wrong. I measured my SG and it was only 1.034 where it should have been 1.044. I had been distracted by my fiance' dancing around and forgot to stir the brew completely and it burnt just a little bit...

Thanks everyone. I hope to start brewing here in the next month or so. Were in the process of getting a new house so gotta get settled in before starting anything.

Hello all, I had been searching around the internet for a forum that would be the best help. I had looked through several and decided to join this one. I hope to learn allot. :rockin:
