Northern Brewer Chocolate Milk Stout was my first and one of my best. But I think the absolute best has been Midwest's Autumn Amber Ale. It's a cheap kit($27), but it is delicious. After a month, it's pretty good. After 2 months in the bottle it's about as smooth as any homebrew I've had. Check...

Ended up getting an English Pale Ale. Guy at the LHBS said it was an easy drinker and milder than an American. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Home Brew mobile app

OK, guys. I need a suggestion. Going on a guys trip to Nashville in March. I need a suggestion for a good springtime beer that will appeal to a wide variety of beer lovers. Was originally going to do a Whiskey Barrel Stout with Jack Daniels, but those take months to be done right. I'm...

This was my first homebrew. Came out awesome!

Well, now that its been a couple of weeks and I've tried a sample, I suggest doubling the amount of spice or adding it to the bottling bucket instead of secondary. There is little to no pumpkin spice flavor now that its settled and carbonated. Next year I will use 4t of pumpkin pie spice and...

I brewed Midwest's Pumpkin Ale last month. In addition to the spice pack, I added a tea of water, 2t of pumpkin pie spice and 1T of vanilla. It has been in the bottle for about 2 weeks. I cracked one yesterday to try it out and am noticing little to no pumpkin spice flavor. Will this become...

Now that my fall beer is bottled, I am thinking ahead to the holidays. Anyone have experience with this kit and with Austin Homebrew in general? I want to make a stout for the winter and this one sounds nice.

I made Midwest's Pumpkin Ale a few weeks back. I added 2 cans of pumpkin to the boil. I sprinkled them with pumpkin pie spice and baked it at 350 for 40 mins before adding it. After it was done fermenting, I wasn't crazy about the level of spice, so I boiled a cup of water and added 2t of...

I just brewed Midwest's. I made a tea of 1cup water, 2t of pumpkin pie spice, and 1T of pure vanilla and added it to secondary. It tastes fantastic. Kinda like Pumpking.

I am also curious, but mostly because of the bourbon. That sounds heavenly.

That color is fantastic. Looks delicious!

I like Pumpking the best of all. I tried to make a pumpkin ale like it. I started with Midwest's Pumpkin Ale kit. I bakesn2 cans of pumpkin sprinkled with pumpkin pie spice and added it with 10 mins left. Primary for 10 days, added a tea of 1 cup water, 2t of pumpkin pie space, and 1T of...

Just bottled my Pumpkin Ale tonight. Also going to brew Midwest's Autumn Amber this week. Should be pretty set for football sundays. I'm not gonna crack the Pumpkin until October 31. Looking forward to a fun fall.
