Probably the greatest advantage of DME is that you can easily get all the contents out of the container. With LME you have to do a hot water rinse a few times.

Prisoners in some of the finest high security prisons are making home brews. Doing so in a college dorm shouldn't present much challenge.

MMr Beer will explode if you overtighten the lid. Ut vents via 3 dumples in the thread. Overtightening defeats this vent.

Switch to Redbridge beer.

In some countries a person might be allowed to brew and drink alcohol at a lower age. I believe it is the University of California that has a brewing cirriculum.

The only carbonation problem in a secondary would be loss of pressure from fermentation and higher liklihood of contamination. But you should be safe for about 3 weeks. Bottle it once the activity dies.

Actually, instead of brown sugar, I would use molassas in the amount of 2 cups. Plus add 2 sticks of cinnamon and a teaspoon of clove.

What's a hell of a note is that 18 year olds are being sent to Iraq and Afghanistan. But they still have to be 21 to brew or drink legally. Definitely not fair.

Bitterness could be caused by either hops or by steeping grains above 170 degrees F. Low carbonization, too little priming sugar or the bottles venting. Some beers take a few weeks to mature and mellow.

You should be able to repair the chipped ceramic easily using ceramic sink repair available at nearly any hardware store. Ceramic though works as an insulator. You're lucky to get a boil on an electric stove.

A woman competing with a radio contest died from water intoxication. 10 people were fired from the radio station. I heard that her brain literally exploded from the excess water.

With Mr Beer you need about 4 pounds of DME, LME or UME to produce a good 2-1/2 gallon brew. Usind Mr Beer ingredients that is about $25 just for the malt. Better to buy 5 gallon recipies from MoreBeer, AustinBrewing, Midwest or others. Just need a second fermenter so you can spin out 5 gallon...

Main problem with Mr Beer is you have to make a shopping list of ingredients. They aren't really complete kits. I like IPA' and their recipies lack the hops. Too many of their recipies include sugar, brown sugar and booster. The booster is just rice sugar and expensive in those little bags. I...
