I will be brewing my second batch this weekend. Atoll a noob but my first blonde ale turned out great! I'll be doing a basic German hefeweisen extract kit.

I actually despise the phrase, "you can't have cake and eat it too"! Then why the F, would I want it?!?!

That's not even a fair question, it's like asking How many drinks you've drank or times you have gone to the bathroom!!! Lol ;)

Hey man, thanks for the warm Invite :) I appreciate, and rowdy isn't a problem for me, I'm in the navy ;) I look forward to everything this hobby has to offer! Even the unfortunate bad brew, hey it's a learning experience right? You all have seriously taught me a lot and I'm only one brew I , I...

Well if I may :) I'm still a noobie and waiting on my first brew to bottle condition, I'm enjoying a SNPA!!! Loving this new hobby and I love the info and support I get from this site. Cheers

Still new to brewing so I'm still on the extract kick to hone my obsession. Should I order a Belgian trippel or an old ale from more beer! Your help is greatly appreciated

Ok thanks :) I'll give that a try. I'm definitely going to be buying a few more fermenters. Dang this obsession ;)

That helped tremendously, thank you!!! I'm gonna age a little then so I can really enjoy it. I don't keg though, so it might be a little different. I'm still really new to brewing, so I hope it comes out great. If I don't have a secondary, so you recommend me getting one for that brew or should...

Wow I just realized how very very little I know about beer. I enjoy all kinds but this thread was pretty informative. Loved all the opinions and info! :) Cheers!!!

Had some extra money laying around so I decided to order my second Ingredient kit! First let me say, I'm very excited to brew again! With so many freaking options, I decided to buy the Caribou Slobber from Northern brewer. Any opinions out there on this particular beer. Worth the money? Tast...

Very cool!! I agree, more templates and design would make this stellar but very good job. Extremely helpful.

Hahaha, oh no i didnt find you discourgaing at all. I understood what you meant lol. I plan on buying a few more fermenters, so I can have a little pipeline going. love this hobby already, even if this first batch turns out to be crap.

Nice that the stress level was low, but wait til you taste it to call it a success. ;) I hear that!! Im really hopeful. Like I said, atleast the process went smoother than I thought. I read a post that said, eventually you will create habits that will make the process better. I think I had...

Well, this past saturday was my very first brew day and I have to say that it was a complete success. The whole process was not only super fun but exceptionall smooth. I had almost no problems and within a day, I had healthy fermentation. Only thing I see so far, the wort was awfully dark for a...

Thanks for all the excellent advice everyone!!! Brew day was a success and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Well all I have is gain dish washing liquid and a bottle of star San. How long is the equipment suppose to be sitting in the sanitizer? So I can set everything in the bucket the night before? Sorry, mega noob

Good afternoon HBT! I'm getting prepared for my first brew day tomorrow and I had a few quick questions. I'm trying to clean the carboy, kettle, and I was gonna use my bottling bucket as my sanitizing bucket.... What's the best way to clean these brand new items. Worried about scented dawn and...

So you can add Ice straight into the wort and use an ice bath? All these tips are really awesome, thanks a bunch!

Excellent. It wasnt the aeration that seem to bother people when exposing the hot wort to air but the wild yeast. I guess I will just try one method this time and hope for the best and try the other next time. I really appreciate all the help
