Read this recipe and most the post, so now i just ordered a better bottle carboy and corn sugar, so that i can make this

yes i bought i hydrometer last week, so i have one now, but i didnt when i bottled this batch. I opened up one of the swing tops and the beer taste very good, i am extremely pleased, i got a tupperware containor to store some beer in cause i want to leave some for a couple months to see how the...

I agree the temp should be fine, if anything its gonna give you a clearer beer

It fermented for 15 days, i didnt own a hydrometer at the time so i did not take a reading. The temp was constant at 70. I then transferred it a bucket with a 1/3 cup of sugar and 1/3 cup of water that i boiled(and cooled). They had been carbonating for about a week, so I thought theyd be...

quick question about conditioning the beers from mr beer. Last night i had a bottle bomb, depressed me and scared the crap out of me :( my broken bottle So i immediately threw the remain bottles in my fridge to let them start to cool down so that they didnt blow either, my question is, at what...

oh thanks i got a couple of those plastic tubs in my place and great idea keeping it tip up to let the tub settle away

thank you, i make it swirl well i pour it in too, but pouring from the mr beer its hard to make it mix throughly, so i will give it a quick stir next time, hopefully i don't have any under carbed beers, im gonna start drinking them tonight and hope they are all pleasantly carbed if i wanna do...

Sanitization....well im kind of anal cause i dont want infection, so first all my glass bottles get heated in my oven the night before so that i know they are heat sanitized. Then the day of i mix my solution with my bottle bucket spigot in the pot or whatever i mix the solution in, to get that...

Thanks guys, im gonna load them in my beer fridge

thank you guys so much, ok since you guys are amazing and fast, i just had a bottle bomb(literally like five min ago) what do i do with the rest of the bottles that didnt blow, im so pissed cause it didnt blow my cheap beer bottle, it blew my nice expensive bottle up :-(, so what do i do with...

Ok i have a very simple question that I cant find the answer to, I started brewing with mr beer and have loved every min of it, but now i want to move onto big batches, cause honestly i drink beer faster then i brew it, and i was looking at a mr beer kit cause about 20 dollars for two gallons...

Love the planning your putting into it, 66 seems a little cold. The yeast that generally comes with mr beer says 68-76. The temp inside the fermentor will be warmer then outside air temp well its fermenting(about 5 degrees), so ideally you would want temp around 70. Maybe someone with more...

A little of topic.....but what about seattle!!!!! wow!!!!:off:

if it taste amazing....that is all that matters to me, i am no so sorry for these dumb questions, i hope one day ill be up to your level of brewing

that seems like a lot of work to just make yeast for your next batch i started homebrewing because i hate piss beer, but is it really that much work for a truely amazing beer?
