If you go extract, I would simply use a Cooper or munton kit, with 100-200grams of pislen extract and 500-650grams of corn sugar and the sugar provided or another good clean yeast (a few are listed here) and brew it as a lager like. Do a 2-5 min boil tops to keep the colour light and you have a...

I thought as much. Oh well. Could be because I tried to use old rice leftovers.

So thinking something may have happened to one of my batches. Forgot to punch the cap down and pretty sure it went to mold on the top.

To add to what everyone else is saying, also look for used equipment (carboys etc) from people leaving the hobby, u-brew shops closing/updating/renovating, as well as sushi restaurants for bottles (an amazing source of them surprisingly) I got my initial set up for 90%off what it would have...

That's what I have been using so far. They work great and can be stacked decently, but my cat is a class 1 A hole so may move to a near airtight rubber made storage container with the bag itself put inside as well.

Before or after the volounteers arrived?

Depends in the beer, the flavour, the amount if O2, abv etc. I've had ales last 1.5yrs by accident and others from the same recipie fo acrid after a few months.

I have a bunch of these actually, but didn't think they would be "airtight enough" for storing grains. And issues with long termish storing (like a few months) Awesome thanks! Yeah I looked at those and drooled but sadly the bank balance can't afford it in the least bit. Having to do a good...

Some cider kits have add on for increasing final sweetness. Did you add anything like that? It can effect the OG as well. Plus some ciders finish out around there, had a few at 1.006

Well if you look at it abstractly and not in flavour profile, both are: Higher abv Age amazingly Dark beer Strong flavoured Malt driven As for aging it, my advice is to do several batches at once, keep some for drinking and put the others back in the box, and then stack your empty bottles on...

Most likely. I'm betting my daughter hid it again, she loves taking it and running off with it, convinced it is my "potion" book.

Just remember that you are comparing your with to a wit-like. Blue moon (as far as I can remember at least) is brewed with yeast similiar to an American wit, but has a grain/spice bill of a Belgian wit, so the flavours will be similiar but noticeably different IMO. All on all I would bottle...

For your NEIPAS if you are going to be bottling I would advise doing what I do, brew at 4-4.5 abv, bottle using a wand, and use 1l swing tops. You can get 18 from most batches, plus a sample cup, you get minimal O2 interactions, and since it is more sessionable, you can drink all of them within...

For Sweet feed whiskey, the non malted barley has some enzyme capability, but no where near enough for proper conversion of the grains. What you are doing without added enzymes or malted barley is closer to a sugarhead (a grain flavoured whiskey similiar to UJSSM and Gumball). With added alpha...

CO2 buildup can cause a plethora of problems not including a bomb, including stressing yeast too much and killing it or cause off flavours. A piece of cheese clothe several layers thick may give enough of a gap to let out co2 while keeping it sanitary.

I can't find the book but will post the recipies when I can

What type of banana? Sweet or plantain? For plantain bananas, they can work great as a source of carbohydrates to ferment but they need either enzymes (traditionally from being chewed by the brewery or modernly by either diastic grains or added alpha amalayse). For yeast, try to find a local...

10abv is for the wash not the finished product. Since it is going to be distilled to between 50-80% depending on your still, the flavour will be concentrated by 5-8 times but fractured between the cuts, not including what remains in the boiler after your run. For finished product it's best...

Sort of, just a heads up that honey, even smaller amounts, needs some more time to be at it's full potential. I'll try and find the recipies when I get home. Also another good quick drink is country wine coolers. I usually have a jug in the fridge for summertime, and all you need is a large...
