The recipe and style is Munton's American Style Lite. Priming sugar amount...never record that, but I'm betting I'm measured wrong. I tasted it at bottling and it had no flavor. I had been drinking Bock. Even if chilled will prevent more fermentation and potential bombs, what can I do...

I brewed a light ale from a kit and I'm afraid that I may have messed up on my priming sugar. My OG was 1.032 and I bottled at 1.002 after 3 weeks in primary. It's been 11 days in bottle and I noticed a few bottles had leaky caps. When I popped the cap they spewed spewed like volcanoes and...

What about trying to put the fermenter in a cardboard box. It will give you some, although little, insulation value. What little heat comes from fermentation should keep it a bit warmer in the box.

Just finished my first batch of apfelwein anI was wondering at what temperature do you prefer to serve it at? To you serve at room temperature or chill?

I just broke my hydrometer and I was wondering if anybody uses a thermohydrometer. My LMHBS carries both but it is worth $8 more?

I've been taking allergy shots and been doing great until the beer. I'm allergic to molds and fungi wonder if I have yeast allergies. It's usually worse the morning after I have a few homebrews.

Does anyone here have asthma that has noticed it flare up after drinking homebrew? I've noticed my asthma has been bothering me more than usual and just recently realized that about the time it has started acting up is when I started drinking my brews.

I have a 1/2 batch of Ed's Apfelwein in mine. They are good for experimenting with small batches of beer.

I brewed a bock from a kit that I enjoy. I have a stout in the fermenter and have a can of a brown ale. After that I may venture into "brewing" rather than just "mixing". Any easy recipes for a beginner on something that wouldn't be too bitter with a medium-full body?

I've made a few batches with the hopped no boil kits but I'm thinking about moving up. I'm oversimplifying this a bit but if I buy a some LME or DME and add in some hops of whatever I grab off the shelf, will I have a viable wort? Granted boil times and quantity will affect the taste but isn't...

I guess I'm looking more at making wine then. Sorry for the wrong terminology, I'm still rather new to all this.

You got it right. Red and Yellow is for cooling, Red and Blue is for warming.

I've been tossing around the idea of making some cider. The way I understand yeast is that once the yeast turn so much sugar into alcohol the % gets too high they die. So I am wondering, could a person get the yeast strength and add enough sugar to increase ABV to max and sweeten the cider in...

I highly doubt it will be water tight. It snaps on but not tightly. Maybe I should wait on my next batch until I can get the proper lid.

I've been digging out my beer making equipment and restarting the hobby. I found my fermenting bucket but I can't find the lid for it. I have a lid that came off another bucket that snaps on rather well. Can I drill a hole in the lid add a stopper and air lock and use that for my primary or...

I have a can on Muntons American Style Light that I'm thinking of splitting in thirds and experimenting in my Mr Beer. 1st batch per instructions, 2nd batch with some blackberries and 3rd batch...undecided. I Split a Bock kit in 3 before and found that brown sugar adds a nice bit of depth to...

I just recently started brewing and so far I am using hopped LME. Starting with the easy ways and building up. I've tried adding things to the kits but that has been the extent so far.

Muntons Bock with cinnamon. I'll know next time.

I will definately be coming there to check out your selection and prices. Looking forward to the grand opening.
