Waffles.... Don't give up on that brew yet! While it's true you should boil with lid off, this is a lot more important with all grain than extract. The wort has already been boiled in the process of making the extract. You could boil for a while with lid on and then remove. Even if it quits...

I never got much, if any, hot or cold break with extract. Maybe because the wort has already gone through the break process when it was made and condensed into extract. Just did first batch of all grain, and got a lot more break material. I think your beer will be fine not hitting boil since...

Turn inside out and spray from the inside. Came out looking like new. It is a paint strainer bag form Home Depot

Here's a thread on high and low batch prices. quite a range. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/willing-spend-recipe-132627/

I got mine at Wal Mart. Free shippiing to store but did have to pay tax. Was about $32 including tax. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Prago-Cereal-and-Multi-Grain-Mill/14223932

Yeah, from what I've read, teh bigger and maybe darker beers would age better, so think these might be OK.

Followed up by the Bestest Bottle.

A better Better Bottle. Wish I could invent something

Welcome! If you're going to stick to extract kits, try some online stores. Northern Brewer has some good prices and good kits. As BBL Brewer stated, going all grain will decreae your ingredient costs substantially, but you will need more equipment. I do BIAB (brew in a bag) and the only thing I...

Been finding some great deals on winter ales since they are out of season. For example Pyramids Snow cap. Will these be OK if I keep until next winter or am I better drinking them "out of season" so to speak. Rather drink a winter ale in spring than wait and find out I have a case of nasty...

That's the spirit man! Jump in and have fun. Read on your other post about subbing yeast that your kit came with Nottingham. That's a good all around dry yeast, so you'll be fine with that. You may be suprised how well your first batch turns out. I was. If you can be patient try to leave your...

If you're set on subbing out yeast, dry is much easier to use for new brewers. Don't need to make a starter. You can just pitch it in. I've used Danstar Windsor Ale yeast and Danstar Nottingham, as I can get them cheap. The Windsor would attenuate a little less and give you a slightly sweeter...

So you got the equipment kit and an ingredient kit? What recipe kit. Only BB kit i did was their IPA. My first brew. Turned oout good. What yeast came with the kit?

To the OP. Sounds like you're just in the "thinking about it" stage, but thought I'd pass this along just in case. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f16/anyone-looking-go-pro-308824/

This is not a new idea. Just google "brew on premises". Here are a couple of many links on the subject. Personally I like to brew at home whenever the mood hits. For some though, I guess it's a social thing to do on a night out. Good luck with this if you go into it. Takes courage and money...

Many years ago I had a beer called Hempen Ale or something like that. It was brewed by the Frederick Brewing Co in MD. Not sure, but think they are no longer around. It was brewed with hemp seeds. No THC and totally legal. It was decent as I remember. I think there are threads on here about...

Hey Stan, Got some grain and tried it out tonight. Went through a couple pounds of specialty grains fairly quickly. Then looked at the 10 pounds of 2 row and started looking for a bolt to put in the drive shaft to use the drill.:D Didn't have anything that fit, so until I find something...

True! I grew it once. Ground it up in food processor and took a big whiff. Yeeow! Try it! Thought my head was going to explode. Homemade was so much better than any of the store bought stuff I've had.

Just picked up my Walmart Corona mill today (free ship to store). Washed in hot soapy water and dried in the oven. This thing is a lot more substantial than I was expecting. Went with this one due to larger hopper and cover over grinding plates. LHBS closed on Mondays, so couldn't get barley...

Skillron....Hello and welcome to HBT. If you search "corn sugar vs table sugar" you will find numerous threads on the subject. Found one post where the brewer split a batch, primed half with corn sugar, half with table sugar and could tell no difference. For just priming, I think you'd be just...
