Also- last year my wife gave me a BBS kit for valentines day. I've been hooked since! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

If you like brewing and continue with one gal kits, get a muslin bag to put your grains in during mash. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Get a 5 gal set up. Brew it up soon and it will be ready for April! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Yep! After two kits, I ended up buying their recipe book and started doing 5 gallons. All of their stuff taste good and is easy to tweak to come up with awesome variations. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

It will carb up faster, but, the taste will be best with some time Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Awesome! That was the first beer I ever made and it was like a miracle when I popped my first one. I think it was wise to wait an extra week. Give it at least 4 weeks in the bottle. Cherish each bottle. They will be the 9 best beers you'd ever had. Start another batch! What's next on the...

Wow- what a process! With all that hard work, you want to play it safe. There is a cider section in these forums where you may get better advice. But, here is my opinion. Cider is one of those things that the longer you wait, the better. If you transfers to secondary, do it soon while there...

I like your set up. Great documentation too! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I made a brown ale in July hoping to have it ready by fall. It was flat come September/October. Opened one up last week and it was perfect. Time heals all things. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Today I'm brewing Northwest Brewers Bomber Barleywine, one gal kit. Anyone try it before? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Agreed. You also need to decide if you want to do all grain or extract. I started last year this time with a one gallon all grain kit from Brooklyn Brew Shop. Kit comes with everything you need to make one gallon of great beer( glass carboy, thermometer, yeast, grain, etc). Kit is like 40$ on...

It's fine. Air dry. By the time you brew next, you'll have it soaking in sanitizer, etc. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Yeah- I brewed the other day and thought snow would work. Nope! Took longer! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

3 tablespoons for gallon batches and one cup for 5 gal. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I make a low ABV, easy drinking IPA that when I prime with honey, I can sometimes get a residual honey flavor. Not sure if it's bc it's a light IPA or if I drink them too fast for all the honey to convert. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Maybe someone should make one out of car glass? Dosnt car glass have uv blocking properties in it? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I've done their AG slobber kit. Great beer. I kept in primary the whole time. Life happened and it sat for almost three or months before bottle day. It was beautiful and tasty! And tho it's hard, wait at least four weeks in bottle to drink. I usually save 4 to drink to see how things change...

Yep. I eventually packed snow all the way around it close to the top. I ended up guesstimating my water wrong and ended up with four gallons, but, it was rocking around 8%, so that's fine with me! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Hey Darth Malt- Not sure if this will satisfy your BW hunger or not, but I just saw (and ordered) a one gallon BW kit from northern Brewer. It's an extract kit and I'm sure it's not gonna be as awesome a good AG BW, but- thought I would throw it out there. It was only 12$, which was cheap...
