I am only 2 batches old ( :cross: ) but for my first batch, I tasted it every step of the way, and I set aside 4 bottles just for tasting. I tasted one every 7 days. From what I have read on here, 3-4 weeks is the norm for standard beers. The only way you will know its done is by trying it...

This I did not know. I had never had a Kriek until then. Thanks for letting me know that is not how it is suppose to be.

+1 to OxyClean. I have a friend who gives me bottles that are NOT rinsed and have mold in them sometimes. I crank ultra hot water and oxyclean and it takes care of it easily.

I get about 50+ beer bottles from coworkers and family every 2 weeks, just ask around. People who drink beer will give you bottles, just make sure you tell them you will give them some :)

My guess is your fine. I have seen random animal hairs hit my boils, and I cant taste any cats or dogs in mine.

I have tried two of them, The American Kriek and Stoney Brook Red. The American Kriek is delicious and has a sweet cherry flavor but not over powering. The issue with this is that I can drink it like water. The Stoney Brook Red is great by far my favorite of the two. It has a deep oak flavor...

Awesome find IMO. I would take 4 or 5 of them!

I personally would go with the one I sent you, its cheaper and has more equipment you need. For Beer ingredients and/or Beer kits, I would check out http://www.austinhomebrew.com/ for premade kits. Thats where I have gotten mine from so far, and they are great. For just ingredients, I see...

Thanks for the info man.

I personally dont know of any kits that have burners and pots also. I would check around.

Basic kit for ya man - http://www.midwestsupplies.com/brewing-basics-equipment-kit.html Probably a better idea, in case you want to do more then one batch at a time - http://www.midwestsupplies.com/brewing-intermediate-kit-with-two-5-gallon-better-bottle-carboys.html

So I am brewing my second batch, a Brown Ale, and the Krausen on the brew has already fallen (4 days). I took a quick peek, which I know I am not suppose to do, and its pretty much all gone and it was only about 1 inch thick. The only reason I ask is because my first back, a spiced ale, had...

Thanks for the info guys.

At this point, I have to keep my fermenters upstairs in my home because the basement is pretty chilly. The only problem is, I use a wood stove to heat and I keep the thermostat set to 62 during the day. I keep my fermenters in my kitchen, which I dont use the oven a ton and the kitchen...

+1 There isnt enough beer sharing goin on here :):tank:

;)

Congrats man!

They are Brown. I went back to Craigslist and pulled the picture. They are the same as the bottle on the left.

Looks like good beer!

I just landed 3 cases of German Flip Top bottles on Craiglist for 35 bucks. :rockin: Now I have to go get them next week! He is finishing up the third case :ban:
