I'm happy that I came across northern Brewer. It seems to me that their ingredients are definitely fresh and their prices for some of their kits in comparison to Brewers best are much better. You can get two kits from northern Brewer for the price of one premium Brewers best kit.

Has anyone noticed a difference between Brewer's Best and Northern Brewer? My first 3-4 batches were all Brewers best since it was available at my local store but I've recently ordered a recipe kit off of Northern Brewer and I have higher hopes then anything I've made before. My current batch is...

Good man. Let me know how your batch turns out. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I would say use it. Now it all depends if you're willing to risk losing a batch or not. If things turn out bad then you've learned from your mistake and will never do that again. If it works then you're golden. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

It's getting better with time. I tried one about a week ago and the sweetness went away. Now it tastes like beer but no carbonation. So now I'm assuming that maybe because the wort while fermenting reached a high temperature that it may have killed off some yeast and therefore the lack of...

London. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Cleveland is making a huge comeback. Regardless of LeBron or Johnny Football. Cleveland is also rated as one of the top five best beer cities either in the US or the world. (Take that naysayers) A lot of development has been coming towards Cleveland which is pretty cool. Plus who knows? The...

How do you cold crash? Just put the bottles in a fridge? I know I was being impatient, it's hard waiting around for everything to settle. My stout I let it ferment for a week and it was done, and then I let it sit in the bottles for about two weeks or so if my memory serves me right. But the...

I slowly started reading How to Brew. Haven't had too much time to read it. My mistake about the confusion. I rehydrated the yeast. I'm still going to wait and see how the beer progresses. I've read on here from someone's post that they've had issues with their brew and let it sit for weeks...

I brewed it on 07/12/2014, bottled it on 07/19/2014 and had the first one last night.

I know that the carbonation might not have had enough time to start. I just wanted to try it out and see how it went. FG was 1.012. Ingredients: 3.3 lb Pilsen LME, 2.0 lb wheat DME, 12 o.z. of Carapils grains, 1 o.z. of UK Fuggle and 1 o.z. of GR Tettnang hops.

Right around 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Initially I used a white labs liquid pilsner yeast in the starter. And after a half hour I saw it wasn't starting and looked at the bottle of the liquid yeast and saw that it expired in May. Then I started the dry Kölsch yeast in the same starter that I...

My first batch was a milk stout which I got from a kit from brewers best. It turned out pretty good although I did learn a lot. Now my second batch is actually a Kölsch that my dad requested since he doesn't drink dark beer. I decided to try liquid yeast for the first time and they didn't have a...
