I've been looking at some of those, The shipping can get really high for beer ingredients. But the LHBS Is letting the beer brewing stuff run out.I may have no choice to check some kits out.. I Never heard of a Cascade smash ,but it sounds like a brew I should look into.. :mug:

Good tips yes agreed, Knowledge ,ehh it's getting there.. I think you're right about the dried ingredients like Coriander ,Ginger or Orange zest . Don't see how that will be any different than bittering or dry hopping..IBU's would probably be affected before the adjunct ratio.. There is a...

Hi, I'm new too. I wouldn't be in a hurry to try and recreate my favorite beer just yet.. Like cooking we have to learn the flavor and strength of our ingredients first.. Like salt.. you know how much to use because you are already familiar with it..The same goes for different yeast and...

After reading these comments, And researching google the freezers temperatures are what saves the hops. A bag inside another bag in a freezer bag seems sufficient for a little home brewer like me. Mylar seems to be the most effective, But not the main factor.. I can see why Mouse uses Mylar...

I learned a lot here,Looks like I found the right group of people to ask about my hop scheduling...Being that I have a truck load of Cascade hops and English ale yeast.. Any suggestions on hop scheduling for a mildly bitter yet interesting brew with these ingredients with the addition of some...

Nahhh, Trouble only comes when there is no beer,lol :tank: I just like a variety, Plus I found a great deal on 3 used Mr. Beer kits.. Got 3 of them brewing now. And fixing to do the 4th one,Thats the one my wife bought me...Heck I just started brewing. Haven't even drunk my second batch yet...

Does it smell like bad cheese? I heard they use those hops in some Belgium beers over there for bittering. Somebody already mentioned up to a year in the freezer referring to my fresh 2013 pellets.. But I'm just learning.. Maybe because it was in the fridge instead of the freezer.Just going by...

LOL, I'm really starting to feel better about my 2.5 gallon batch after some of these comments about "store the hops in my beer"and throwing an extra 0.75 oz in rather than throwing it away,lol Now I'm starting to believe I didn't over do it with my hops on my 3.3 lb Amber LME , 2.5 gallon...

Well I have a whole pound of them :drunk: English bitter IPA from hell,lol..

I just assumed that they were the experts,. I just started pondering about the thought of fresh ingredients before I posted this thread.. However I did ask the girl that works there at night about the yeast, as it is a living product. She's just a college student and not a brewer and her...

True True. Yea taste is subjective.. Could also mean it was too sweet for them I guess.. Because They followed the instructions, lol 2 week old brews haven't tasted right to me either.. Thanks for the sound advice :mug:

I Assumed That Co2 would be more effective than Nitrogen at removing air being that it is heavier than Oxygen and Nitrogen.. And didn't realize that storing hops required being this strategic or careful. You would think the LHBS would keep them in a cooler instead of a rack. After reading...

I have this beer going in 2 of my LBK's ..I heard WW didn't have enough hops in it.. I've been fermenting them both for a couple days ..D oes anyone suggest dry hopping for these brews. One of them has booster and the other has a can of Mr. Beer creamy brown UME.. I have U.S. SAAZ...

:mug:Thanks for the info.I'm so glad I asked and I'm very impressed with the amount of responses here.. How do you know if hop pellets are stale,Do they smell bad or change colors?

Sorry for such a basic question but I've had over a pound of hops opened up a few days and started thinking I may have to put these in the fridge or something.. All I needed was around an oz out of them..I put the open bag into a zip lock freezer storage bag and set them in a dry area. They...

:rockin: Same here, Even the 17 dollar 12 packs are lacking that special something.. My wife had me go to the store last night for a 22 oz of Bud light.. I told her I should just grab one of mine mix it with a half of glass of water she would never know the difference...Oh to have a wife that...
