I use AHS exclusively for my supplies. I don't mind paying 6.99 for an order or 4.99 for one over $100 especially since If I placed an order this morning it would be at my door by tomorrow. I usually don't order over $100 worth of merch anyway. Although, my order last month was and it was...

No problem bro! I've haven't had time to brew lately anyway.

I have a hefe bottled now that I could enter, but I have to work that weekend. Maybe I'll figure out someway to make it out. Is there a deadline for entry?

I know! We can't wait! It'd be awesome of you could hook me up with a partial mash version of your Irish red recipe!

Bottled today with the help of SWMBO. This is the first time she has been an active participant in one of my brews! She said since she was going to be drinking it she figured she might as well help out. I know I moved to secondary too soon and I plan on not using it at all from now on, but I...

The batch has been in primary for 7 days as of last night so I decided to take a sample for a gravity reading. Airlock activity had stopped for the past couple days. Gravity was right on track at 1.012 (O.G. was 1.050). I went ahead and transferred to secondary to open up my primary for an AHS...

I was thinking the same thing(about the empty fermenter).

I've thought about not using the secondary on this one because it is a hefeweizen but can't decide.

I joined HBT back in Dec of 2010 after my wife got me a Mr. Beer kit. I made several batches with it and the results were mediocre at best. I haven't brewed in several months and decided to get back into the hobby. But, decided I wasn't going with Mr. Beer again. I ordered the Bavarian...

Pick me! The last day of the contest is my birthday!!!

I was affected by fraudulent charges. Luckily, my bank caught them the day after they occurred as I was unaware. Two of the charges were cancelled before they posted to my account so I only had to wait for one to be refunded. I don't fault Austin home brew for the problem. It just happens. I...

Haven't got to update recently, but I let the beer carb for 2 weeks at room temp. I ended up using two of the home draft bottles. After carbing I threw them in the fridge for a week and took them out replaced the co2 carts and poured the first beer. A little cloudy but not too bad. It didn't...

My first batch has been fermenting for 14 days today, so I'm going to bottle tonight. :rockin: I'm using a Coors Light Home Draft 1.5 gallon bottle for part of the batch and putting the rest in 16 oz swing top bottles. I plan on priming the 1.5 gallons with 6 teaspoons of sugar...

I'm not really sure what my best option would be when I get ready to bottle. I've read so much here. Any suggestions?

By batch priming you mean adding the whole amount of priming sugar to the batch instead of each bottle individually right? I am thinking about racking into a bottling bucket and then priming this way. If I can find a way to rack from the Mr. Beer spigot. And, if I read correctly, you...

Hopefully it'll turn out well. I've also considered buying a tap a draft system and conditioning in it. Does anyone have any experiences with this method? I'm so new to this and want to make sure I check out all my options.

I started my first batch tonight in the Mr. Beer Kit. It is West Coast Pale Ale with standard booster(it'll be an all-malt recipe next time). While I was brewing I sipped on a sixer of Sierra Nevada Kellerweis Hefeweizen. :mug:Not a bad beer at all. I made sure everything was sanitized and I...

Hey guys! New here from Texas. The wife bought me a Mr. Beer Kit for Christmas and I plan on giving it a go here in the next couple weeks. I've already been browsing through the Mr. Beer sticky in the Beginners Forum and can't wait to get my first couple batches out of the way and upgrade...
