    1st batch, 1st Label, Comments?

    Hey guys, I want you to keep this in mind as you look at my labels so I have had these goals: 1. Practicality: I’m laminating these labels so that they can be reused. 2. Practicality: Only one will have the recipe label and that bottle is retired to contest to a triumph or disaster. 3...

    When to add fruit flavoring?

    I've been throwing this one around to, and please show your recipe and how it turned out because this one is a top priority for me. I haven't done this but its been one of my goals and one that has kept me up at night so here is my best guess (though others who have done it maybe more...

    What is a full wort boil?

    Most of the reactions that I get is that it just tastes better and it really makes sense to me because if your boiling all your ingredients, the heat and water is pulling out every ounce of flavor out of the different hops that you use.... I know from years of cooking experience that the...

    American Pale Ale Label

    Sorry for such a late response because I’m just now getting into labeling but I’m impressed.....I don't mean to sound like a history geek, though I know I will. Your label is so reminiscent of the 1820-1880’s and I say that on many different accounts. The darkness makes the flag look like it...

    lots contradictory information on brewing

    If your still confused after everything is said and done, let me know.....Its easy to get intimidated about this stuff but its much simpler then you might imagine...... What gets complicated are all the fine details like, how would this ingredient change my beers taste? Or troubleshooting a...

    malt extract

    By the sheer physics of canning.......I would agree.........if you go more then 4-7 years then it maybe a different story, then you have to watch for leakage and depressurization, and even if you had a can in the can in a refrigerator for a solid decade.....I don't think that the deteriation...

    Poll: What kind of water do you use

    I really bet I’m going to sound like the red-neck here but I personally love charcoal filtered water. For my first batch I used some from my grandmothers but since I don't want to run across town and since her filter is three days younger then Moses, I’m going to experiment with...

    Vilent ferment - first time using liquid yeast.

    Exploding in the house.......I just get in the mood for a beer at night......I can't imagine what smelling all day would do to me......

    Vilent ferment - first time using liquid yeast.

    I know it was a newbie question but i'm still getting use to the physics of brewing.....My experience was quite the opposite because I had two cans of light LME, .75 of Fuggles, 1.5oz of East Kent, 1.5 of Hallertau-Mittelfruh dry hopped, with 6 grams of dry muntons yeast and I had the completely...

    refrigerating yeast.

    I know from bread yeast........freeze it and it will litterally last for years, I've had a package in my freezer for over three years and its still good........Believe me, its not worth keeping out......

    Vilent ferment - first time using liquid yeast.

    So, I have to ask, what was your working recipe? I'm seriously thinking about WL Yeast so this has perked my interest a bit...Also, when you have a reaction like this, do you have to back off the amount of priming sugar or is that just a separate issue all together?

    More Inexperienced Question – Hopefully Not Dumb

    Well, I just wasn't sure......I'm struggeling enough with beer right now, I don't expect to get into wine this summer because of the fermenting tempretures. If I had known what I know now I wouldn't have made an Ale my first because I love to have my house at 45-55 degrees.......clearly I...

    More Inexperienced Question – Hopefully Not Dumb

    Yeah, I've been struggeling with the names.....I've been thinking about starting a thread over sugar and the many types when I get closer to needing the knowledge...... That's something that I would like to put to rest....

    More Inexperienced Question – Hopefully Not Dumb

    Yes, I'm planning to stick to 5 gallons every step of the way for beer, wine will probabily be the same story. Since I have to fly by the seat of my pants with pop I will probabily just expariment in two liter and then kick it up to 5 gallon when I make one that I like..... Oh, I didn't know...

    More Inexperienced Question – Hopefully Not Dumb

    Well, I don't completely know right now.....I'm doing a little research into wine and I haven't asked the guys what types of sugar they use when they make a non-grape biased wine..... Plus I also plan to expand into soda so there are many place for it to go......I just haven't done all of...
