I'd like to second Strange Brew.. it's old but i really want to watch it again.

Oh :( i was hoping it'd be closer to cider.. I'm really not a fan of wine, although i guess i can still give it a shot. It's so simple i want to atleast try it once..

I've known a few girls that do this kinda stuff to guys. Usually it's a girl with kids and she gets other guys to watch them, pay for their home and the guy tends to have no self esteem and more money then they know what to do with. Just saying, the guys probably done it to himself.

I do 2.. The beer bottles were hard as rocks a few days before i threw them in the fridge after 2 weeks.

Cool thanks for the heads up! I was planning to do a few extract brews on the next step.. I was hoping to make ed's apfelwein sometime.. sounds simple and straight forward. I'm a little worried about All Grain being all scary and confusing.. i'm kind of easing my way into the cold pool...

Umm.. i live in california but it's been in the 90's for the last few weeks. Luckily recently it's only been in the 80's but that's higher then it's supposed to ferment.. Can the yeast still do their job in the 80's? Should i just not worry about it? Ordered a couple of more batches and i'd...

I was doing some light reading on guinness trying to figure out why it supposedly tastes better in ireland when i found this article. Someone mentions that darker ales should be served warmer. I usually drink lager so this is all kind of new to me.. But is it true? do darker ales taste better...

I could be wrong but that looks like one of those tomato caterpillars. They attack tobacco and tomato(no **** huh?) plants to.. And i hear they're annoying as all hell.

hmm it sounds like it could be simple yet confusing at the same time. Alright well i bottle in a few days so i'm a little worried. the house has been up to 80 degrees at the hottest point in the day. So should i leave all the bottles in the swamp cooler during the bottling process? I'm pretty...

Yeah as far as i can tell the major things that can go wrong with beer are either sanitation or temp control. I've actually defected to smaller soda bottles. Which work for bringing the temp down 5 degrees and the blue ice packs keep it steady. So i got a system down. The giant 2 liter has it's...

Stainless Steel and Bleach Some light reading on the subject

Umm i'm kind of new to this brewing thing to so my thoughts on the subject might be null.. but i kind of have a feeling heat played a role in it. The people before me make a lot of sense but i'd like to say something.. Your not supposed to store beer in 100 degree areas. And basically with all...

Hmm.. there's more of them now

it might in the long run, i decided to just get a kit in a couple of months. Until then i'm going to keep doing batches in the mr. Beer. They have a list at the LHBS and it has everything i could possibly want short of a keggle, a single tier system, one of those distribution things with the...

Cool thanks, i got a bunch of alcoholic friends and it seemed like a waste to buy a whole bunch when i could get them for free. EDIT: Umm.. a thought occured to me. If i get a kit, would Mr. Beer work as a good bottling bucket? This seemed neat. And useful for bottling.. ... just read up...

hmm i think i'll do the one step solution.. I actually wrapped the spigot in a bunch of plastic bags and rubber bands this time, i only had one bag over it last time. Kind of curious though can i use bottles from major beer companies? I kind of like the idea of giving bottles to friends without...

Aye aye Cap'n I actually poured out all the water earlier today and the temp was probably just under 80 for a short period. This beer is going to suck >_> The bleach was getting to me, kept having to dig the thermometer out of the chest. Besides getting bleach on the spigot sounds scary.. some...

only like 4-5 days, it only looked like it was working for a couple of days, i'm really worried about it. Keep in mind this is Mr. Beer Yeast i'm using, it isn't some special superman variety of yeast. i'm planning on leaving it in the fermenter for 2 weeks i'd like to think it was doing...

Wait a minute.. are you telling me unicorns don't exist? Don't tell me santa clause.. nah.. He definitely exists. When i was a toddler my dad used to brew beer but then gave it up. Plus we used to stop by the beer factory every time we went to six flags so it's kind of nostalgic/fun making...

That's pretty wicked awesome job.. i wish i could make something like that..
