Currently brewing my first batch, it's an IPA. Bottomline IMHO, if you love hops you cant go wrong with a pale ale or an IPA.

I'm brewing the Brewer's Best IPA kit at the moment. Can't say if it's good or not though, it's still in the primary fermenter. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it is when it's ready though. You can count on that!:drunk:

That does look a lot better than the original. My only suggestion, being that it appears to be a summer beer, I would look for a more summery color than black. I might even go as far as to do the sides yellow with green text or something along that direction. That's up to you though, it looks...

Hi, I posted a label the other day for fun. I was bored today so I spent some time creating another label. Again, the images were ripped using google, so their copyrights go to their respective owners. This in itself could turn ito a full time hobby. Well, at least give me something to do while...

Thanks! When I bought my supplies I also bought an ingredient kit from the same seller (didn't want to be all dressed up with no place to go, if you know what I mean). I bought the Brewer's Best India Pale Ale Kit, and brewed it the day I got it. Right now I'm a week into fermentation. At first...

Here, maybe this is what you are looking for. You may want to try and compare it with others, I'm not sure if it's an accurate representation, I haven't brewed this myself. It's the same as the link to BeerTools that I provided but these are the brewing instructions which couldn't be found on...

Hi, been here a couple of days and just realized I haven't introduced myself yet. :o With that said, my names Eric, and I'm from Ney York, just north of the city. I'm currently brewing my first batch of beer. I got the brew bug beacause of that Mr. Beer "toy" but after reading around and...

You could check out beertools(dot)com, as a matter of fact here is a link to a recipe which the author says was inspired by the SA black lager. http://www.beertools.com/html/recipe.php?view=5896 I haven't tried it so I'm not sure how close it is to the original, might be worth a go though.

Thanks, I had fun making it. I was trying to make it look as real as possible. I plan to use it on the bottles for my first batch of homebrew. I think some of my friends will get a kick out of it too.

Alright, last night curiousity got the better of me. I popped off the lid, and there were signs that something had happened. It looked like the krousen had risen and fallen back into the beer. Also, though there were some small clumps floating on the surface (hoping that's not a bad thing). I...

Maybe some nail polish remover??? Have you tried regular paint removers too?

Ok, so I don't own a brewing company or anything like that. I'm actually a few days into my first brewing experience. Anyway, I thought for fun I would make a label. This is a fictional label, if it resembles any real brewing companies in any way it is purely coincidence. Some of the images were...

Thanks for the responses. I think maybe it had a fast fermentation as BierMuncher has suggested. I'm using the 3 piece airlock, so I'm not sure if it's the blowoff that you said occurs in the S-Type airlock, but I can't see why it wouldn't be. Drunkensatyr asked what type of sanitizer I used, it...

Hi everyone! First I just wanted to say that this forum seems really great! I've been looking around here for about an hour now and was really impressed with the knowledge here. Anyway, I just brewed my first batch of beer two days ago and have a few concerns. I bought a 6 1/2 gallon "Ale...
