have you seen the commercials for that "flavored water"? I saw the one with the two guys hanging out a bar and I turned to my girlfriend and said if any of my guy friends ever ordered a Miller 64 to cut back on the calories...I'd have so punch them in the face. What a terrible beer culture...

I can imagine it's bad just from the name of it....lol

since I'm a Husker fan, EVERYONE seems to love that stuff up in Nebraska....just because it's red beer. I personally hate cider beers. Pretty much any and all. Particularly Woodchuck. I just don't think beer should be sweet. Other than that, I've had some pretty skunky beers, but since I've...

i believe most people generally recommended to move it once krausen has fallen and fermentation has slowed/finished (as told by the hydrometer)

well, the LME is sealed in the buckets AHB sends them in. I'm assuming they are air tight. I just stored them in the basement on a shelf though. I wasn't sure if the bags they grain came in were trustworthy enough...so actually put them in one of my fermenting buckets and sealed the lid on it...

I don't think it's a fridge thing. I think it's purely a longer carbonation time thing. I'm at the end of my Bavarian Wheat brew and the first few bottles had hardly any head and now I'm having to slow my pour down just to make sure I don't have a pure heady beer. Time makes the beer taste...

oh, and LME? Fridge...? or can that just sit out on the shelf? thanks guys

I've got a bunch of ingredients coming tomorrow that I will make a couple batches out of. I'm going out of town this weekend and after I brew my first one, I'll have to wait a week or so until I'm able to move it into my secondary so I can brew my next batch. I just wanted to verify that I store...

I hadn't thought of that...good idea :mug:

the first one I rehydrated with too hot of water (of course that was my first batch and cooling down the wort had to be the only step I skipped over) the second time I'm not sure why it didn't work. 72+ hours later and I had no fermentation...so I went out and bought yeast again and it took off...

My girlfriend gave me a card yesterday for my birthday (which is this Saturday if anyone wants to send me a case of their best home brew) ;) ....and the card read: Our lager Which art in barrels, Hallowed be thy drink, Thy kegdom come, I fill thee mug, At home, as in the tavern. Give us this...

I second the milk technique....works like a charm. I was amazed the first time I tried it. I just use plain printer paper and create the designs in Photoshop. I have a template so that for each brew I just change out the name and specific info for that beer....everything else stays the same...

I did the exact same thing. Actually...I shivered more than anything as I tipped the first glass back. And this was only the sample from the first hydrometer reading!!! I think it's recommended to leave it at room temp/out of the light for 3 weeks...then put it in the fridge. That's what I...

what are you going to brew? "Beer"

can you do that for One-Step too?

hahah, hilarious "We gotta celebrate..." "We gotta expand" not only that, but try and notice all the subtle "reception bars" in the background. Like stacked grain bags and such. There's a thread around here somewhere of a guy talking about his experience with starting up a brewery. It's a...

I think many people here will chime in and say just to wait it out and see. I've read other posts here where people dipped their whole sanitized arm in and turned out with a perfectly find brew. There's even a thread here where someone tried to make a batch where they did everything WRONG and it...

good topic...because I was wondering too. so I just bought the following grains for my next recipe and was just planning on throwing them all together in a bag and steeping them. Will that be okay? Special roast Chocolate malt Belgian Pilsen Malt Crystal 40L
