those pic's just made me thirsty... Im leaving work early and grabbing some brews!

dont throw away wort, get yourself a still and start making scotch out of bad batches ;)

I didnt taste any but the smell was what to be expected lol there has been no bubbling for 2 weeks but now after racking to the carboy it has started bubbling a little again... Im gonna go have a beer and start another brew... thanks

it was just a black rock lager pre-hopped can. I added 1 kg of Coopers brew Enhancer 2 Sounds to me like Im freaking out over nothing and should throw away the instructions! I think I will put the carboy away, relax for a week and then keg it and see what it tastes like.

well just because the diretions on the label said after a week it should be at 1005, its been almost 3 weeks and its at 1015. The thing took 2 days to start showing any signs of life and then only bubbled for 3 days after that.

just checked a batch thats been in the primary bucket for 2.5 weeks and the hydrometer readings were the following sugar % 5 alc / vol 2 SPG 15 the bucket looks very very clean... theres a a very very small trace of brown along the edge on the the top of the 5 gal mark... and the bottom has...

hey thanks for that uniondr! I was wondering the difference between them as well.

the LHBS has a lot of old cans... he has a couple from 1989 and one other on that looked like it was from the 50's or 60's and was called something crazy like "canned drinkable beer malt" or something lol. He says he brews old stuff he finds quite a bit and they are all fine unless the cans are...

I would say give it a good soak, like hours not minutes.

I did a search as well and the 3 first places that came up were around 60 - 70... all in the USA Im in Canada and the price is more... the exchange rate right now is about 5% 1 US dollar = .95 cents CDN The CDN dollar is worth more than the US... the Canadian government did all they...

thanks guys!

I was just mainly wondering if anyone had any experience with it, because I've seen posts about some that leak...

My wife bought me this wort chiller for fathers day and I just want peoples opinions on it. Has anyone ever had experience with this chiller? Thanks in advance It looks like it can do up to 15 gallon brews, but I dont think I will ever be doing that. Its the third one down on the...

Rememberits a hobby. Just from reading online it wont save you much in the U.S. but in Canada you save a bit. the canned kits are more expensive than buying ingredients as well.

thanks guys! I was worried for nothing, pretty much what I thought but needed the reassurance lol thanks again!

they're 4 dollars... I wouldnt worry about it and just buy another one

I just went 73 because thats what the directions said, I have let it go to 68 the last couple of days. would racking to a carboy be beneficial? The reason I ask is I want to start another batch in the bucket.

Hi, just a question about my very first brew. I made a pre-hopped kit and the can was very near the expiration date. I did not make a yeast starter and just threw the dry yeast in the primary and set it in a corner. I have tried to keep it at 73 degrees the entire time and it has not varied...

okay, so about 1 litre coffee for 5 gallons or stout should work then. Sounds good, thanks guys! anyone else figure anything on the chocolate or cocoa?

do you think using cocoa and cold coffee when Im mixing the malt would work? I wouldnt even know how much to be honest, I was thinking 10oz of cocoa and 2 litres of coffee
