EXACTLY!! My local HB store sells pretty much everything I would need for any stage and theres even a homebrew club I plan on visiting soon with my brews.

I hate to see something like that happen to him, but I'm not suprised by it. I always thought he was a pretty cool guy.

Actually it was in reference to THIS thread.

You have most likely been doing this a lot longer than I have. I am yearning to assemble my own recipes like you in the next few years. I wanted to perfect the basics first then work off of that.

No, its a follow up to a boil or not boil thread in the form of a poll. I've never had any infection issues, just wanted to know what everyones thoughts were on boiling or not.

Do you boil or not boil?

I have heard differing opinions on the boiling vs not boiling issue. At the HB store I go to, they recommend NOT brewing anymore as it does change the characteristics of the sugars in the wort and lead to off colors and flavors as mentioned above. On the other hand, the guy that got me...

Does anyone have any good thoughts on what I can do with the couple of pounds of frozen blueberries my wife and kids picked for me? My next brew on deck is a John Bull Wheat Beer and from the posts I read about blueberries, the wheat beer should go good with it but I'm looking for other...

Thanks for the links guys. I think I'm still going to buy the Heini keg just to try while I wait for a day to make my next brew. It's still beer and a little cost for the keg but if I can make it work, might be something new we can all try. My next brew BTW is a John Bull Wheat beer. I'm...

I was wondering about reusing a mini keg that's purchased from the grocery store. I've seen in the stores recently some Heinekin mini kegs that would have been perfect for our beach trip last month with another family. We went thru the two cases of Mexican Cerveza that I made and had to go out...

Well, any suggestions?

Weekend Brewer a local place in Chester Virginia, a suburb of Richmond Virginia.

My wife and kids picked about 3 lbs of fresh blueberries yesterday, does anyone have a good blueberry wine recipe I can use? I haven't made a wine yet, I pretty much stick to beer but have made a few nice meads. I would appreciate ANY info or recipes you may have. Thanks

I was at a friends house and absolutely LOVED the pumpkin ale he made, a few weeks later he invited me over with a few other friends and we made 5 gallons of IPA. Immediately I was hooked. Then a few weeks later my wife and kids were out going to yard sales and found a 5 gallon bucket/glass...

I thought it was about "trucker bombs" that the truckers toss out the window. Anything to save them from making a stop I guess.

Tables. I should have known. I created a formula in my beer tracker excel sheet that calculates but it's not correct. Maybe I can adapt this table to the sheet. Thanks much!

I have a quick question I hope someone can answer or at least give me a good estimation. This is my 8th brew so far. But anyway, my issue is this, when I siphoned my hot wort into my primary fermenter the temperature was about 102 degrees F and the SG was 1.032. After a day's cooling I...

My first post here, but I just bottled my Coopers Mexican Cerveza last week and when I tried it this evening, it was wonderful. Not at all like a true Mexican Cerveza, it had a bunch of flavor to it. I originally got this kit to make a few cases for a trip to the beach. I didn't want one...
