Just bottled my first 2 gallon batch of this. Since I'm a bit impatient and didn't want to wait for the possible bitterness from the orange peels to peter out, I peeled my oranges before adding them in. Tastes great after the recommended 3 months of fermentation!

Ok, sorry to raise this thing from the dead yet again, but I was looking for answers on this today - found this thread first, and found this extremely useful link second: http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/pages/government-affairs/ That's the most official thing I can find...

Ah, so I'll stop timing the bubbles then lol. As for the hops... now that I think of it, the mr. beer extract DID have hops already included, forgot about that! Would it be too late to add those in now that fermentation has already started? if so oh well, we'll see how it turns out... least I...

Ok, a little background - Got a Mr. Beer kit for christmas, it came with a pale ale extract and all the other goodies to brew your first batch. I noticed that the ingredients provided would only put the alcohol content up to 3.8%... which seemed pretty weak to me, so I added a couple of cups of...

Not sure, that hose on there is pretty tiny, not sure what I'd do for a filter on it... You think it'd be a good idea since I used the bread yeast though?

Oh yeah, definitely plan on making bigger batches :D

Gotcha, yeah it's being stored in a cabinet at room temperature. I'd consider finished as "ready to drink". I'm not worried about it being done quickly or anything, just curious :) Here's a pic of my setup :D

So I got bored the other day and, not having a homebrew kit yet, decided I don't need no stinkin brew kit and set out to get a batch of mead going. I had about half a pound of honey left sitting around and some bread yeast. So my solution was to use an old smirnoff bottle (cleaned it out as...

Hi All, found this website whilst searching for home brew methods on Google, seems like there is a lot of knowledge pooled here so I thought I'd join in and try to learn what I can! I'm in central Iowa, don't have a home brew kit YET but definitely plan on getting one this winter. I'm wanting...
