Got ya... so my intuitions are correct. I'm not too sure about the full boil just yet (since I just bought a 21 quart pot that I need to get some good use out of). However, I might invest in a turkey frier to get a better boil + I can eventually upgrade to a full boil. I appreciate the ideas...

I was given a True Brew Brewing Kit for xmas. It's just your basic, run of the mill kit. I've added a thermometer, a 21 quart pot, and a carboy. I've made five batches thus far and I feel they've all come out pretty well. However, if there was one piece of equipment that you picked up that...

That thing looks awesome.

This has nothing to do with AHS, however in the book "Beer Captured" the authors note that they contacted breweries in their quest to capture the beer. So, I'll assume that for some they were able to collaborate. Either way, I'm curious to get an official answer.

I need to get into harvesting yeast & buying my hops in bulk. I'm not a terribly picky beer drinker so I'm confident I'd enjoy any beer I could throw together.

I see... one of the beers has Wyeast 3068 and the other is a dry ale yeast. The one that's dry yeast is a red ale that's been at 1.019 for atleast a week. It has been fermenting for two weeks. The 3068 is a hefeweissbier clone that's just in its first 7 days. I swirled them a bit today. I'll...

Both of my beers are stuck at 1.019 and it's supposed to be down to 1.013. My apartment is a little on the chilly side and my thermometer says it's 62. I'm moving it to a warmer spot and I gave it a swirls. Let's see how it goes.

I can remember the exact moment. I studied in Austria while in college. It was my first night and I went to this nice pub across from the hotel that I spent my first night. Its house beer was a dark wheat called "Die Weisse" that was brewed in Salzburg. Seriously one of the best beers I've ever...

I have made five 5-gallon batches since I started brewing on January 6th. I wanted to hurry up and get a lot of beer in the making so I can have a good pipeline to enjoy. I'll probably slow down to one or two a month once I get a fair amount of drinkable beer.

That's pretty bizarre. Most beer companies have brews for 20-30 dollars and that'll make a 5 gallon batch. What you made sounds pretty terrible.

I still consider myself a noob. Keep that in mind. I have a closet that I keep most of my beer in, though I keep the door open since I have a cold apartment and I want to expose it to as much heat as possible. I put most of my bottles in thick plastic bags to protect against bombs and I stick...

So I'm in a situation where the recipe book said I should have an OG of 1.051 and I came out with 1.056. This is my first partial mash and this is only my 5th batch ever. What would cause the difference?

Unfortunately I have a Strawberry Blonde that's currently in the secondary. So I don't yet know how it is. I actually got the idea from someone on this board. He said it came out pretty well. It's the Texas Blonde Ale from AHS (it's under the 50 cent beers) and I racked it in the secondary...

Excellent question... I'm still very new to this and I want to know what "green" flavors are. However, I tried my IPA after 5 days in the bottle and it had a good flavor, though I thought it had a bit of a syrupy taste and feel. There was a little carbonation but I feel like the beer still had...

www.dmemart.com might be beneficial. i haven't ordered from there yet but i've been told they have good, inexpensive ingredients. maybe use it to fill in some of the gaps ;-)

I totally just gave a Strawberry Blonde a try tonight. I borrowed an idea from this board. I took an AHS Texas Blonde Ale recipe kit (extract) and I racked it in the secondary with 38 ounces of frozen strawberries. I'll let you know how it comes out.

I'm on my 4th batch. I had one that bubbled for five days and one that bubbled for 2. I really don't know what makes some bubble and some not, beyond a good seal on your lid. I bottled my first after nine days and it came out pretty good. As far as I understand, the longer it is in the...

hmm... maybe look into a Hefeweizen? I don't think they have them on the AHS website but there are plenty of recipes out there. I'm looking to make one soon. It'll be my ideal summer beer.

hmm.... I haven't used 40 oz bottles but I've used large bottles and it worked fine. I'm still very new to this but I haven't had any problems. I recently had a Sierra Nevada that is bottle conditioned (there is even yeast on the bottom) and it was in a pretty large bottle. Either way, I don't...

Yeah.. and I'm going to assume that men make up at least 80% of the people subscribe to the magazine. Same thing with porn. So it's a natural match.
