I do loves me some beer! I have 2 awaiting hook up in the kegerator. It's a great hobby, and at app. 0.50 a beer, how can you beat it?

Welcome to the board! Lots of great info here. Hope you have air conditioning, or fermentation is going to go fast!

Interesting concept. Good luck with it! And, welcome to the board!

So I wanted to make a simple grape mead with the following ingredients: 2 cans welch's grape concentrate 1.5lb honey Lalvin EC1118 yeast nutrient water to fill to 1.5" headspace 3 weeks later, BLaMMo! Wine, a little bubbly, dry, but sweet at the same time. It's rough, no question...

Awesome! :rockin:

Here's mine! To Brew is human... what are you waiting for?

Thank you for your service, first off. It's because of sacrifices made from those defending our freedoms that we are allowed to brew beer... in an off-hand sort of way. :) You've definitely come to the right place. I'm faily new to brewing too, but have learned a lot from the people on the...

I've seen the special lids for the cornies, but wondered about the trub that settles during fermentation. Doesn't that clog the export/out pipe inside and make it difficult to get a "clear beer"? I see what remains in the primary bucket... how is the flavor? Do you have to toss the first 3-4...

Great setup! I want to do all grain eventually. That last photo looks like you are cooking that car!

I hear you! And now, MI is also a no helmet required state! Can't say I think that's a good idea, but most of us are grown up enough to make our own decisions and hopefully live with the consequences. :off: Anyhow, looking forward to hearing of your brewing adventures too!

LoL!!! Pinot Gatorigio! Love it! Definitely keep me in the loop! I'd like to hear how it turns out!

I read somewhere that adding LME after the boil increases the alcohol content by creating a higher spec grav. You can also add lactose if you want a creamier beer and maintain the sweet side since lactose is nonfermentable. Even so, estimated abv is about 4.5-5%. Nope, skinned the kiwis...

Well, I am, and will always be, a stout/porter man, but someone asked me to brew this for them, and I did! It's my first true experiment with a thrown together list of ingredients. Estimated alcohol content is an acceptable 4.5%. The strawberry is a poor choice of fruits since the flavor is...

It was actually a very simple recipe: 6lbs LME wheat 3lbs LME (after boil) 4lbs strawberries (smooshed) 3lbs kiwi (smooshed) 1oz tettnang (bittering to off set the sweet from the fruit) 60min boil 4oz strawberry extract added to secondary (strawberry is a poor fruit choice, but sounds...

There is a pretty large recipe section here. I recenty made a strawberry kiwi ale... looks great! smells great! Will have to wait a week to see how it tastes. Welcome to the forum! :ban: Ciao!

Be sure to tell us how it goes! Fermenting is sure to be exciting in tropical temps!

I think it's pretty awesome you have accomplished what you have with the minimal setup. The 3 gallon carboy, in all honesty, doesn't take up a whole lot more room than the 5 gallon. All grain brewing is something I want to experiment with at some point, since I'm an extract guy. Do you...

==snip== I like to make mead, and have done several batches, several types of fruit, basic must, easy peasy. Look up a recipe called Joe's Ancient Orange Mead online. Very simple to make, and done in about 2 months. I have a batch that's nearly complete. Brewing beer is easy too...

Awesome! I eventually want to do an all grain! I've done almost primarily extract and partial grain brews, and have been happy with the result, but you always wonder what more you can do. Welcome to the forums!

<snip> I ride a vtx 1300 and brew beer! But never at the same time.. that wort can be hot! Welcome aboard! What kind of scoot do you ride?
