    Extract kit for my Father-in-Law

    There are several "Mexican Cerveza" kits out there. Pretty much clones of Corona that may work for you.

    suggestion for kit brewers

    What kits are you talking about? Coopers/Mr. Beer etc? Many kits include steeping grains so those topics are included. I'm not knocking the no boil kits, that's how I started, but an entire page dedicated to that...

    New to Home Brewing

    Some websites like Midwest supplies actually let you look at the ingredients of their kits w/ directions too. You could always copy one…

    racking question

    If you rack to bottles straight from your primary fermenting carboy your going to pick up a load of sediment. It's easier despite cleaning an additional carboy to use a bottling bucket. It allows for even mixing of your priming solution as well.

    Bottling Question.

    Priming individual bottles, esp if it is 5 gallons worth, will make you loath bottling. A bottle bucket, with priming solution as mentioned above, is really the way to go. It is easier, more enjoyable (despite having to clean an additional bucket) and gets you much clearer beer. If you bottle...

    Did my yeast die?

    You really need to keep all of these at room temp for one or two more weeks before doing this. You've now opened two green beers... Let them sit, then refrigerate for another three days, and then test. Then we can evaluate carbonation, yeast, etc. beer needs time. My biggest brewing regrets are...

    Brew Dillema

    It will be just fine for that long. Even in primary. Don't give it a second thought. Do give work, that only gives you a few day notice about travel, a second thought...

    infection advice

    It's always great to hear about someone who won't give up on a brew. Too many people with a dump first ask questions later attitude. Let us know how it comes out. And sanitize the bejesus out of that bucket...

    yeast sediment in bottles

    Religious devotion to careful racking, using a secondary, cold crashing prior to transferring to secondary or the bottling bucket. But this will only cut down on sediment. I've never seen zero before.

    hydrometer broken in sanatizer...did realize

    Several people break theirs IN the primary fermentor. You've got nothing to worry about. They are not made of lead or mercury, the glass settles to the bottom. Do not dump this. My parents live in Fishers. If you are going to get rid of this I'll have them pick it up! I'd have no problem...

    I guess some equipment replacement is in order...

    coriander/pear? There is a micro brew around here that likes to use white pepper. That may actually cause your tastebuds to explode with the crazy number of flavors, but might be fun.

    Cloudy first brew

    Yes, you can leave it in for longer if you need. But more bottles would be a better choice.

    Cloudy first brew

    Your beer is all of 8 days old. The stuff at the pub is months old. You can't rush it. Plus cloudiness isn't a bad thing either. But time will do wonders.

    Infected?

    Sanitize the bejesus out of it and call it a day. Go with bleach if you are troubled about it.

    First Tattoo

    You have zero tattoos and your first one is going to be a 4 line paragraph! Bravo.

    Did you taste it?

    Do you ever want to...

    How else would newer members of HBT get our post count up (to make it look like we know what we are doing) if we don't respond to all of these!?
