You took the words right out of my mouth.

I'm sure whatever the yeast is it will turn out to be beer.

Hey Guys, I was browsing my LHBS the other day and they had some of the canned kits on sale, so i grabbed one to try out. They mostly had lager kits, and i mostly do ales, so i read through them and the instructions on the Bock kit from Black Rock Brewery said to ferment between 18°C and 23°C...

After reading the Caramel Cream Ale recipe i've been doing some gravedigging on recipes posted by Cheese and this one caught my eye, but i had some questions about it. Is the listed 6 pounds of pilsner and wheat grain, LME or DME? Is the batch 5 gallons, 6 or 10? If it was DME, with 12 pounds...

If i had my way, i'd be half way through making a keezer and have a full size beer fridge, but unfortunatly i've "been told" that it's not going to happen, that i take up too much of the space in our apartment with beer stuff as it is. As for a swamp cooler, besides the "taking up too much...

So i'm sure this has happened to everyone at some point, but i really need to cut back on brewing and start drinking more of what i have. Being fairly new at brewing i am constantly looking for and reading new recipes, and i just want to try them all! One of my problems is that my apartment...

Holy old thread batman! I was doing some lurking into old posts looking for different recipes and came across this one. Did you ever try it out Cheese? How did it turn out?

I just used those numbers as a generic example to ask the question. Thanks for the responses guys.

I recently started moving from dry yeast to liquid and have been enjoying the results, but i had a question about the starter itself. I i have an extract recipe that calls for say 7 pounds of DME, and i need a 2L starter. When i make the starter with say 6oz of DME, do i subtract that from...

I bottled this recipe a few weeks ago and to anyone looking to try this, these are my notes so far. I used the 750ml of malibu, 2 cups of appleton and 2 oz of sugar to prime with, and it's a little over carbed, but no bombs or anything, but i do need a very tall glass to hold all the foam. So...

Meant to say secondary, fixed it.

OG was around 1.065 FG 1.015 4 lbs Light Dry DME 1lb corn sugar 1oz Tettnang @30 1oz Styrian Golding @5 Safbrew S-33 It was a kit that i got.

I had my first taste of the saison i made over the summer. I didn't do a secondary and it aged in secondary for about two months. I started the brew based on the weather forecast being a good temperature as i am in an apartment and don't have a cool basement to let it sit in. The weatherman...

It probably won't be a super high OG cider, just fresh cider and maybe a bit of honey, but nothing like an apfelwein or anything. I was thinking about adding around 3 gallons of cider to try this one and see how it went. As long as i've got the yeat layer on the bottom should it be enough, and...

I am planning on making a blueberry wheat as my next batch, and thought it might be worth using the yeast cake to try to mayeb impart some of the blueberry flavour into the cider while reusing the yeast from the beer. For the wheat i plan to primary then rack onto the blueberries in secondary...

I have done a few kits now, but still consider myself a beginner, and i am trying a new kit this time around and had a few questions on boil times. It's a belgian amber recipe and everything seems kosher from the instructions vs advice on HBT here except the boil/hop addition times. Kit...

Well, i just heard about not using growlers today in this thread, but i haven't had any problems yet. I have 4 growlers with festabrew wheat and 2 with brewhouse blonde ale and i haven't had any explode. I have the black plastic caps with the clear plastic cone shape on the inside. When i...

Just a nobbie diggin up old threads with questions.... I recently tried some Honey Bourbon, which after reading this thread made me think it might go very well with some cider. Some were saying that mixing in the whiskey would make it hard for the yeast to start, so when would be the best time...

She tends to not like most of my "projects" and the "junk" that acumulates along with them

I am about to start my first cider and was wondering as an average or rule of thumb how much honey you would put in per gallon as a rough place to start
