I was fortunate enough to sample Lazy Magnolia's Southern Pecan nut brown ale yesterday at a fest and it was delicious! good luck

it's not that some were not carbed at all - some had an insane amount of carbination (think alka seltzer) and some had little -- with how I have them stored I have no clue which was the first beer I bottled and which was the last - I just grab a sixer and throw it in the fridge when I'm ready to...

I order my recipe kits from Austin Home Brew. I've only ordered 3 so far and like em just fine so I don't see any reason to change unless variety becomes an issue, but they're selection is huge. I ordered my brew kit Midwest Supplies. I'm happy with both places I've ordered from and will...

I just bottled my second batch but my first batch was a Bavarian Hefeweizen and I have carb issues as well. I, too, was a little suprised at the color and taste as it's different than any hefe I've had but understand the color is due to the liquid malt extract. The issue I have / had with the...

i bottled my second batch yestderday -- so i had to throw another sixer of my first homebrew in the fridge to check it out - 6 weeks in the bottle and they're pretty much fully carbed. i know the mixture of my priming sugar still was off as they're not even but each beer was fairly carbinated...

thanks for all the great posts - and Revvy I greatly appreciate help - I put a 12 pack in the fridge this week (after 3 weeks) and still have the rest conditioning in my closet - I'll update with info next week to see how it tastes then blkndrust - i got the vid - i'm going to watch it...

@nickmv - i'm glad i'm not alone with this - i'm curious - do you think your buddy might not be discriminating as much as you? as brewers we're working on honing our skills - tasters might think of it from a different perspective. not sure - i just wish i had the consistency also how much...

the priming sugar i got came in a kit from austin home brew - it's 4.5 oz sugar and i boiled that with 8 oz of water and cooled in an icebath - added half and siphoned- second half and siphoned - - should i use more priming sugar?

so tonight i fully got into my first batch of beer it's an extract brew sitting in the bottles for a full 3 weeks as of yesterday - been in the fridge since yesterday morning the beer itself is 'ok' - the fact that it's mine makes it greatly enjoyable but i'm man enought to admit it's not...

Well it didn't taste like any Hefe I've tasted to this point. So I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or how bad it is......but it was definitely drinkable and honestly quite tasty. My wife liked it too and she's not as bold with her microbrewed preferences. She thought it had a hint of banana...

haha! yeah.....there was no brew day #2 yet - golf killed me - the heat was freaking ridiculous that i wasn't up for brewing - but the beers were still in the fridge so i had to drink em. the 90's are going down now - that first night it was too much and it's not my favorite beer but i can...

it's a little under carbed right now - not much head right now but it tastes delicious!!
