I've not tried Mr. Beer since Coopers bought them out. Looking at the new HME cans they look to be the Coopers line up just renamed in smaller cans. Can anyone confirm that? Mr beer used to come with a West Cost Pale Ale Recipe which was an awesome base for many different ale recipes but not...

Rant Warning: Arg People Ales ferment warm! When people start talking about not liking an ale yeast because they fermented above 65 I scream stop making ales if you don't like them! If you are fermenting s-04 at 65 you are right at the bottom of its temp range and will likely get unintended...

my god this thing still lives. how about some real advise: Liquor quick extreme alcohol base kit. makes up to 23% legally no distilling. you can get all kinds of flavours to add to make it taste like whiskey or whatever. here http://www.winemakeri.com/Alco_Base_Kit_p/13322.htm and here...

Have you tried Royal Rootbeer Extract? Its the best root beer I have ever had, any flavours from the yeast just add to the overall product and aren't pronounced. I do age it for a couple weeks at 55 before putting it in the fridge for a few days before drinking. So it might be yeasty inside...

Let us know how that goes I need to drill out a bottle sized stopper to get some beer line through it for a BierMuncher Bottle Filler type attachment for my tap. I was considering just turning the drill bit by hand, slow going but less likely to destroy the stopper if you slip. Edit: Just make...

building a BMBF tomorrow and bottling a mild ale to free up a keg for my BC pale ale to go into next weekend.

I recommend Lalvin EC-1118 wine yeast for all soda making it will not impart any yeasty flavours. Its also $1 or less a package normally. You could also try Lallemand/Danstar CBC-1 its not supposed to impart any flavours either (its for pitching into filtered beer for cask and bottle...

Ignore anyone that says it sucks and then finishes with the words all grain... I started with Mr Beer a year ago. Its a great way to get started in the hobby. Yes I made great beer with Mr. Beer Recipes (not the basic kits, the more advanced ones with hops, steeped grains, and all malt you can...

Would it not be better to put the syrup in first then carbonate. Im looking into a similar system but i think alot of people recomend filling 2/3 full then putting it in the freezer first to get good and cold. Then of course squeeze out the air and shake the hell out of it while the gas is on...

My Verdict: Involuntary Manslaughter By Picnic tap :D This has happened to people with standard faucet style to, they get bumped and lock open or they aren't attached to anything and fall down or get stuck in the open position some other way. I never leave my picnic tap attached if I'm not...

Kamloops BC here. Mini mash on the stove, but asking for a turkey fryer for Christmas to make the switch to all grain. Been brewing about 1 year.

Lol. Nope no lube. I live in the province of BC it stands for Bring Cash everything is costs 50% more here and 12% of that price was tax. I did ask chris @ hopdawgs.ca (where i got the kegging equipment) if that was a normal price in the area. He said it was. as i understand it there is a...

:off: Sneaking past the secret service to get the White House honey must be a pain ;):D Could not help my self... I'm a little off this morning

I pay $35.80 (service is called 5 pound beverage gas refill) with tax here http://www.nutechfire.com/. They are only place that will even talk to me. They are quite familiar with using CO2 for keg and soda dispensing and had lots of advise for me since I was new to CO2 dispensing. They probably...

Could be yup. Def made it cost more.... First batch in the fermenter, yeast pitched. OG 1.050. Second batch is coming to a boil. Hydro sample was yummy! I think I hit my IBU's dead on. Edit: Done! 10.5 gallons in fermenters. Mild is kegged and under pressure. Also I am never doing two...

Got the LME but ****ed up and took a container that's to small going to have to sub in some golden DME I have and up the Turbinado a touch to meet my OG. Double brew day tomorrow. Plus cleaning kegs, really they couldn't even wash the pepsi out of the damn things?

This tomorrow (Sat). BC Pale Ale 10 Gallons gonna be a long day with my 5 gallon setup. Also cleaning kegs and kegging a mild that's occupying a fermentor needed for the pale ale.

I was working from a recipe that used cascade as the finishing hop. But I don't like cascade or the other citrusy ones really. I never though of Willamette though.... damn I already got the ingredients. I know they grow Fuggles in BC to though and I quite like them. Got all my ingredients and...

chocolate and black patent are roasted malts too. many stouts particularly the sweet, oatmeal, and chocolate variety use a combination of those. You can also get flaked oats and flaked barley at most large bulk, grocery, and natural food stores if you need a non online source of those.

Will def try and check that out next time i am there. We are planning on going back next Christmas (2013). Few more days in london, then work our way north to scotland with lots of stops along the way.
