How did your brew come out with all DME? Did you use 5 lbs?

what would be a good hop schedule?

Well, what if I back off the Bittering hops and go with what I have? Do you suggest adding specialty grains?

Hmmm sounds good. I really like the Brewer's Best HopNog 2010. I forget what hops were in that one but it had some grains (8 oz Carapils, 8 oz Caramel 40L) and 6.6 lbs of LME with 1 lb DME. I definitely think I need more LME. I was trying to keep this brew under $50 but at this rate, it...

So I have been pondering a recipe for quite a while now and I came up with a Wheat IPA. The ingredients are below: 3.3 lbs Coopers Wheat LME 2 lbs Munton's Plain Wheat DME 1 oz. Northern Brewer Hops (Flavoring) 2 oz. Columbus Hops (Bittering) 2 oz. Cascade Hops (Dry hoppin') White Labs...

welcome to the best hobby ever (from a former Mr. Beer maker)

I'll tell you what. If you would invent this, you'd be a millionaire. Do it up before I do!

the brown sugar isn't going to give you much flavor at the end, just slightly higher alcohol content. what flavor are you looking for?

I'd just use 1 pund of light DME. You have a lot of fermentables already cheers!

just buy Corona and drink them!

Yeah, I'd say that is slightly cold. I ferment at 70 degrees. All and all, you want a consistent temperature.

Good pics Waunabeer! I like the setup. Question..why is your brew kettle so high?

I did this for a Mr. Beer kit in the past. I would suggest adding 1 oz. (strong coffee, see below) to each bottle. To make strong coffee, put in like 12 scoops of coffee to 12 "cups" of water. It turned out really well!

Force carbonation is the sure fire way. The other way is to pour out the first couple beers. And then, depending on how soon you drink your next one, you might have to pour another 1 out each time you drink (if its days between beers).

Awesome stuff guys. I guess the majority of brewers on here are all grain brewers. I'm still using extracts so I don't have to boil that much volume. And I don't mash either so I have a simple process as it is. Is there added benefit to doing all grain and mashing your own? (Can you...

that is correct, you don't want that in your beer at this point! enjoy

To force carbonate (no sugar primer): fill up the keg with your uncarbonated beer. put on the lid. set the regulator to 5 psi. 1. fill the keg. close the valve on the CO2 tank. 2. use the blow off valve to completely empty it. 3. open the valve on the CO2 tank. repeat 1-3...

I would go with a stainless one. Everywhere I've read talks about using stainless steel.

My guess is that is not what you want to do. Pale is a flavor of malt. Using less of a darker malt probably will not give you what you are looking for. Maybe order it online? have you tried midwest brewing supplies?

Maybe it was an old ice maker turned into a kegerator? That's my guess, especially since you don't know of the origin. I used this forum to create a two keg kegerator. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/frigidaire-model-frc445gb-mini-fridge-kegerator-conversion-89013/index16.html
