    Corn syrup.......where are you getting that from?......Rice syrup was mentioned earlier but not corn..... You mean corn sugar?........all I listed that for was as a primer.......I know that's alot of primer but like I said....I'd rather buy it once and not have to worry......

    Actually that price I quoted you was from the exact same place but it was 50lbs of muntons......I never looked into any other......I don't know what the difference in extracts are...... I was going to get that much sugar because I'm just going to store it.......I would rather have it hear and...

    What are the basic steps and pitfalls in simple mashing?

    I'm new as well, and even though I should probabily be mashing as well because those are my favorite flavors.......its far too complicated to just jump into...... I've looked at this realistically and I can't honestly say that I would even attempt this without a couple years experience under...

    Oh, I will be sure to look into that before I pitch my next batch (which will be some time because I need more equipment)......But just from your explination, it seems logical...... Ok, let's go a little further into this because I know one thing that is going to bug the heck out of me is if...

    Oh, I wasn't out to recreate the cheapest thing on the market, in fact quite the opposite, I wanted to brew because i'm tired of the cheapest thing on the market and the step up doesn't taste any better it just makes my wallet much lighter and get's me almost no where.... Personally, its way...

    That's the problem, I love the expensive stuff but it get's costly.......so your right......I like a 12 of the cheep or a case of the expensive.......it depends on how much cash I have.....

    Ok, then give your opinion.......how much do you use and why do you use that much?

    Oh......phew.....that made me nervious to know that the hootch beside me was going to "Hell in a Handbasket"..... I had two packs....I just didn't add them because I wasn't told to......That's what I hate about recipes.......I'm a complete improvisor......and have become quite good at the...

    Rice syrup......I didn't know that......I will have to look into that because to me if the hootch doesn't kick then its a little dissapointing......

    Really, that is my goal....I'm a little intimidated by mashing right now and I just want to get some real experience first..... I've been reading about it for months and the first time out I was tought that there is no replacement for actual experience.....

    Basically yes, I didn't list any hops or other ingrediends because those are the X factor that I will change from one brew to the next.......I just listed the items that wouldn't change....

    Ok......so if I have an ale at 60 degrees, how long should I let it age? 4 weeks? I never thought about an unbalanced beer......that's a good point.......maybe i'll just stick with the lighter mixes until I try to really create something......

    whoh, whoh, whoh.......I got a batch right now fermenting with only 6 grams......is this true? I only put one in because that's all I saw on the video by SA...... its been going for 4 days.......is it too late to add more? WTF?:mad:

    Thanks for the calculator........Yes, I drink natural ice and most other beer taste good but I end up drinking much more of them.......I notice a difference from a pale to black beer.... I did not know the difference between DME and LME.....I guess that was almost an implied question because...

    I'm sure i'm going to light off a firestorm but I don't really want it because all I want to do is to talk theory. This part doesn't suprise me, not in the least bit. Also I was reading early on in parpazians book that it can also be done by mixing corn sugar with the extract to make it...

    More Inexperienced Question – Hopefully Not Dumb

    Ok, my first time out, I took a little lump with the cooling and fermentation process and the temperatures that I keep in my house. I found out that I should probably run Lager in the winter and then Ale in the summer. I went back and looked after the fact and it was because that was a part of...
