I'm talking about Stout Billy's in Portsmouth, NH. Any New Hampshire brewer who has been there will confirm it, but SB's is a disaster. It's just convenient for me because it's a half a mile from where I work. Any other HBS is a major investment of time in terms of driving. The guy who...

Alright, so I went by the shop looking for DME and the guy who runs the show told me that he had none. It's strange. I've been this place twice. The first time looking for fermentation buckets, the second for DME and both times he's had nothing. I also told him that I wanted to buy some...

Alright, well that's sort of what I thought. I'm flying blind here as I think the Mr. Beer kit oversimplifies the process. I'm about to run out to the shop to get some ingredients. Any idea what sort of DME is appropriate for this brew? Thoughts on: Muton & Fison Amber Unhopped ??? Also...

I'm about to start a new brew today, but I don't want use the Booster that the kits come with. What's a good alternative? FYI: This is a Canadian Draft mix.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my very first glass of pale ale. I cracked it open a little early because I was getting antsy to see if I'd screwed up. I brewed this with the Mr. Beer kit my Dad gave me for Christmas. I stumbled on a couple of steps during the process so for the last...

:mug: The nerd in me really got a kick out of that. Professionally, I'm a programmer, so... you know.

Sweet. Thanks. So what does SW/HMBO stand for? I see that a lot around here in reference to someone's signifigant other.

I'm fairly certain that I followed the Mr. Beer instructions to the letter. The only thing I question is when I put the yeast in (which I think is called pitching, is that right??) I immediately mixed it and then re-read the directions which told me to let them sit on the surface for a few...

Hey there, fellow Mr. Beer recipient! My father got me one of these kits and a couple of their refill kits. I made the one that came with the kit, but I didn't like how they truncated the process. The instructions left me wondering just what the hell I was doing and in the end, I was left...

What it is, folks? I've been interested in brewing for a long time and Christmas brought the opportunity to get started. So here I am with a brew fermenting in my basement and the itch to exchange information and pick up new tips from other brewers. I love stouts and bocks and can't wait...
