from what I read, its normal to see copper go in dull and come out shiny. its the pH of the wort.

Sweet. I am making this for the women in my family who just dont appreciate the malty flavors of beer. Also I enjoy drinking carbonated beverages and being ginger ale is one of my favorite drinks, this would be a healthy alternative to the high sugar store bought beverages.

yeah I was just picking at envy's post. Thanks for that recipe.

geez, are they afraid of their own shadows too? why can't you be independent and make your own beer, wine, cheese, bread if you want to?

yeah I know its not a real beer. thats just what its called by popular masses. I could call "fizzy ginger flavor drink" but ginger beer works well for short. Root beer isnt really beer either. I get it. Im not sure what style it would go best with. That beer you mention sounds delicious, but...

OH REALLY? Gee I never knew that. Derp. lol But in all seriousness. Have you tried kombucha tea? It is a fermented beverage tea drink. It has a couple different cultures but one in particular is Acetobacter which gives its distinctive vinegary taste.

What's the most common reason for an infection?

Yeah I figured it would be. I should have added around three ounces the first go around. I dont like very bitter beer, but I do like balance beer. Hoppie IPA's are something I like to enjoy every once in a while. I did get to read John Palmer's book last night on the www.howtobrew.com which is...

well i stopped by the LHB store and picked up 3 lbs of Light (UHE) Malt and a pound of dried amber and some more hops (willamete) . Boiled for thirty minutes. The total volume that I added to my already fermenting batch was about a half a gallon. I brought the wort down to 80 and poured it into...

i need some advice. what should I do?

yet some how its legal? hmm...its funny how life works.

i couldnt imagine it would taste good either.

haha thanks.

Oh no. I thought that would be right. So what do I do? Its fermenting right now? I am a risk taker and I don't care about opening it? Should I go and get some more extract?

Whats happening now? Well its amber. A traditional american amber. Mr. Beer has some time left before conditioning... ** Does this sound right for 5 gallons? I have it brewing already... 3 pounds Amber Malt Extract 2.5 ounces Priming Sugar (destrose) 1 oz Cascade Hops 1 ale...

tobacco? if you smoke cigarettes or cigars reminds me of woody and spicy flavors. though i dont know what that means for towards beer. I am new to brewing.

I thought about using brown sugar, but I figured it would be harder to ferment and add flavors that I do think I would appreciate yet. I also though about cane syrup which would be interesting, being that its in liquid form and highly available. I wouldnt know how much to add. So I figured...

Ah I see. I am not sure what I will do then. I am sort of new to beer as the process goes, but from so far from what I read, ales are the way to go. Lagering seems to be too much of a process. Clarity doesn't really concern me. Nor does sediment. I wont be racking into a secondary then. If...
