SAM Adams latitude 48 IPA, it was decent.

i made one of these like 2 days ago? haha

is it any good? i am a huge fan of anchor steam.

sam adams iperial series imperial stout, not a bad beer at all! very good finish.

i ordered a 20 quart stock pot off amazon first, i am more than likely gonna order this kit off midwest supply and i have been drinking my usual/fair share of kentucky ale to have bottles for bottling. i plan on doing the tcan/bear cat kit off nothern brewer. my first brew. i am hoping all the...

http://www.midwestsupplies.com/brewing-starter-kit.html this kit seems like a good deal for the money, anyone have experience with this?, or just any input on this being a pretty decent buy or not?

i have been seeing a few kits on northernbrewer.com i have been interested in. i was thinking of doing wheat beer of some sort, is there any good beginner wheat beers that wouldn't be too easy to fudge up so to speak?

i am literally in beginning stages of buying the stuff for my first brew, i am wondering for a first brew would it be a better idea to get a bunch of 12oz bottles or get 1 liter easy cap bottles? would these make the carbonation in the bottle easier or harder for a first time brewer? and...

howdy everyone, i am new to the forums and 100% new to the hobby of brewing i joined so i can get advice/personal experience/information so when i do my first brew it turns out right. im looking forward to hearing all you guys have to say about brewing and learning from it. cheers...
