My First Kit was an American Amber from Brewer's Best and it was, still is awesome. I've had several people try it and they all loved it too. Since then I've moved on to some recipes from the book Clone Brews but I'm really considering making a Kolsch from Midwest on my next batch and don't...

Cleaning bottles to bottle my Bass ale clone.

:mug: Great Stuff!

Hi Cknittle, awesome to see pictures from your brewing! Reminds me of the pictures I've forced on all my Facebook friends over the last couple months, since I've just got back into brewing this year. :D I have an old Mr Beer Kit that I started with but I till use the Primary since it holds 7.5...

Brewing my 3rd batch tomorrow - trying a Samual Smith Oatmeal Stout clone recipe. Couldn't wait to get my previous batch out of the primary so I had to get another primary! Seems I'm getting really hooked on this :D Can't wait to move to using AG very soon.

I'm in northern Jefferson County so a couple of those sound like they are fairly close. I'll definitely look them up, thanks for the info.

I've been there tons of times and always had someone willing to help me. Sorry you had such a bad experience there, I hope you found a great place that works for you though because its nice to have a place that you can get everything you need on a whim :)

no but I'd love to, I never even thought to check and see if there were clubs.

Nice to see so many on this forum from the St. Louis area :mug:

St. Louis Wine and Beer Making is my place of choice, it's out in Town and Country near 40 and 141 (woodsmill rd.). They have plenty of fresh ingredients, including hops and tons of kits to pick from too. I did go to Friar Tuck to pick up some specialty brews and noticed they some ingredients...

Here's a couple that come in handy Open Source Download that's simple to use: http://www.getpaint.net/ Web App that has similar features, just click on "start drawing" http://www.sumo.fm/#home/

Nice clarification point cyberlord, I clean and sanitize exactly the same way.

I brew beer but I'd think the sanitizing process would be the same. Here's a thread on cleaning - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/oxi-clean-homebrewing-328676/ . For sanitizing I use StarSan which I got from my local home brew store (LHBS). Use it instead of bleach as it's orderless...

no worries, I'm finding I'm learning so much from reading responses to others questions that I didn't even think to ask!

I'm really going to need to look into the electric brewing with the temp probes and controller so I an get more consistent with the heat settings. Right now on teh gas stove it's a lot of work to figure out a 150 degree grain bath and keep it there. I seem to get distracted by this website...

Thanks Vagrant, I'm going to need to find out more about burning the wort as I'm wasn't aware that was a concern. I don't know if my stove is capable of that since it's an old gas but I guess I better find out. Do you know how to tell if a wort is burned?

I have a basic question about boiling. While steeping my grains yesterday at 150 degrees F, I was beginning to wonder if boiling temps need to be monitored. Does the temperature of boiling wort remain constant by the very nature of a boiling liquid or should I know what the temperature is?

I know I'm taking my thread way off topic now lol, but when i tried it with the breakfast sandwich this morning I realized this thin patty could have made excellent sausage just the way it was with no change in base ingredients but adding whatever spices make sausage taste like sausage, because...

Wow that's absolutely amazing, loved the youtube video on the link, needless to say my jaw dropped. I was just poking around in here to see what automated brewing was all about and to see how my past PLC programming experience might be worked into my beer brewing hobby. This is probably a...

Well the beer is done and downstairs now awaiting the active fermentation, only 6 weeks or more now to test it... I did make the burger for lunch and it was pretty tasty, I took someones idea to use flour instead of breadcrumbs which worked pretty well to help it all stick together. I think...
