Bump due to no responses? Anybody?

Hello, I got my hands on some of Rogue's Maierfest, it is a wonderful beer! I was wondering if anyone has formulated a recipe for it? I know they list the ingredients but I don't know the measurements, so I thought I would check.

I did my first AG batch today, Deathbrewer's SMaSH APA https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/smash-apa-87816/ Seemed to go smoothly, I got a 1.049 OG so we shall see how it turns out.

So I experimented with Mr. Beer, but I got my whole set up from Midwest Supplies today. I'm going to start brewing with some real equipment (I may actually make some "big" beers with Mr. Beer just for fun, they have easy recipes and it still makes BEER) but I was curious if anyone has a...

Quick update. I did keep a six pack of the beer out of curiousity. So I let it carb for another week and chilled one yesterday and had it just now. It is not super good, but it actually tastes like a mild, flatter than normal beer with very little hops. My fiance actually really liked it...

Thanks for the replies guys. I took it out of the fridge and put it in a dark, stable temp place. I will let it sit for a few weeks. It wasn't really the best thing to start with, but I would much rather brew and fail with 2 gallons than 5 gallons. It helped me get an idea of my sanitizing...

So I have been looking at grain bills and such and I'm very new to the hobby. What is a really good scale that everyone uses? A plain out kitchen scale? Or is there a preferred one. I would prefer to spend the money once and get a good one that will last.

So I have been slowly gathering bottles for my homebrews. I have a lot of different types. I read somewhere that champagne bottles are a decent option, has anyone else done this? Are standard caps ok for champange bottles? Or are there different types that may work better? I have also...

Hello, Total noob here. Just bottled my very first batch from a Mr. Beer that I got as an Xmas present. I am working on putting together my kit for extract/mini mashing. But Just getting my feet wet and starting out.
