WOW!! $3.00 for 350!! Must be nice. The closest thing to a LHBS we have wants $6.00 for 144. Still cheap enough to always use new but $3.00 for 350!!!

Do you think I should try to re-prime each bottle or dump it back into the bottling bucket and re bottle with more batch primer?

I boiled 3/4 cup of corn sugar in water and added that to my bottling bucket, then siphoned on top of it and then bottled. I don't remember stirring it after siphoning to the bottling bucket though.

I didn't add ANY!! It foamed too much to accomplish the mission!! :(

I just opened my Honey Wheat that has been carbonating for three weeks and it is DEAD FLAT!! I then opened another with the idea to add more priming sugar and re-cap but when I tried, it gushered like Mount St Helens!! How do you accomplish adding additional primer? I thought I'd try a few and...

Thanks for all the replies. Well, I went ahead and brewed it up. If I had bothered to read the instructions that came with the Munton's, they actually suggested trying this mix, instead of using 2 lbs of sugar. They said if it comes out too rich, next time try less DME and some sugar to make up...

Thanks for the replies. It's a 3.3 lb can of hopped extract and it calls for 2 lb. of corn sugar to go with it. The problem is that it is over an hour and a half to the nearest LHBS. I'll probably give this a try without the added hops (hey, how bad can it be? It's BEER!) but do you...

At this time I don't have any hops. Should I? What do you recommend? I don't want a strongly hopped flavor.But I don't want a strong sugary sweet taste either. Thanks

Ok. As a new brewer I need some advise. I have a can of Munton's Nut Brown Ale, Two pounds of Extra dark DME, and plenty of corn sugar. What sort of proportions can I use and what will I end up with. I'm thinking the Munton's, both pounds of DME and about a pound of sugar but don't have a clue...

I think I went out with her!!!

What about just adding the rest of the priming sugar? Wouldn't you have enough yeast still alive in there to finish the job? Just a thought.

Not for the beer but to me, the Buckhorn is a must eat spot in Denver if your into wild game.

Thanks for the replies. I just opened the one as a taste test. I thought that the Cooper's Wheat kit was already hopped? Or am I wrong again? LOL Should I be adding some hops to all of these kits when I make them? Thanks again

Sorry for all of the questions I have but without a Brew Store locally you guys are all I've got. Anyays, I made a Honey Wheat for my First real brew ( Read not Mr Beer). I opened my first bottle last night (just for a taste test, and it has a very strong honey flavor. Almost as if I had...

I am about to brew A can of Munton's Nut Brown Ale and it calls for 2 lbs. corn sugar. I have 2 lbs of Dark DME. here that I'd like to use instead. How much corn sugar would you add to this mix to bring it up to a respectable level? This is only my second batch unless you count the one batch...

I am using 1 Step sanitizer and need to know if your bottles need to be completely dry before bottling or can you just drain them for a few minutes and then bottle while still wet inside? Thanks

Why don't we start a listing of Brew Shops around where we live. It would help a lot of us who travel alot to find one while we're on the road. Myself, I don't have any nearby but know of a couple several miles from here. The Beer and Wine Shop in Follansbee, WVa. You could list the town in...

Sorry if some of my questions are pretty basic but we have no local brew store and I'm flying alone here. This is my first batch since my MR BEER and they have no airlock so I don't have anything to base my airlock activity on. I made a Cooper's Wheat with 1 can Extract, 500 grams of...

Thanks!! That's a load off my mind!! :) I'm only on day 5 in my fermenter so it still has a long way to go. I'm not yet set up with a secondary so how long would you leave this in there, at the longest, after my hydrometer readings stabilize?

Will you see the kraussen floating on the top in your primary after it falls? I have a Honey Wheat going and the fermentation seems to have dropped off and when I looked in the bucket, there is a sort of broken crust floating all over the top of the beer. It looks just like what is on the sides...
