I'm a noob, but for my understanding is a little more difficult to spawn a nice lager, do you have the required equipment and most important, you can control your temp at all times? I'm more of an ale guy, but a nice lager is always welcome. Are you doing all grain or extract? Cheers from Mexico.

Hello, you should invest on this http://www.cool-brewing.com/ I bought one and I can tell you, without it, it would be insanely difficult to me to brew. Why? Because i live in the freaking Sonoran desert (worse than Arizona) and the temps are ridiculous we are at 70F right now (7:46pm). So far I...

Thanks guys. Yeah, my original plan was to leave it 2 weeks, bottling and other 2 weeks for a total of 1 month, I consider it will be enough... Below, nastyness. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/ktism7kexzbgxbd/mJR6grfspG

Hello, thanks for the welcome! I start with a ver basic amber ale, this is the kit I order online, I made half batch because there are no much space in home, this is the 2nd day of fermentation, I had some troubles at first (Pitched yeast in more that "warm" wort) and my cooling bag was not...

Hey tek! Yes, sorry for not pointing it in my post, I cut the ingredients to half. Btw, just a quick update about my brew. Right now smell very good! But no actvity in the airlock, I know I shouldn´t be too concerned about this but still... also, I figure it out how to hold a better temp, right...

Oh my, well... let's see how it ends. For better or worse, im building experience for my next batches :(

Hello again, and thanks for your replies. Um yeah I think it was too warm when I pitched the yeast but right now is bubbling like there's no tomorrow! A lot of activity in the airlock. Im using a Cool Brewing bag, another question, if I close the bag there will be no issues about not letting it...

Hello people, well I finally made the jump, my first homebrew, a very basic Amber ale (I love them :D) and of course it took me like 4 freaking hours! I will definitely considering upgrade or plan a little better the wort chilling phase, was a pain in the ass... it took like 40 min, and I left...

Thanks for the awesome replies and great resources! I'll try to add more hops at first, I've been reading my ingredients could have a little more extra punch.

Oh, gotcha. All good then, new thing learnt today. Thanks everyone! :)

Thanks for the quick reply, yup, I understand the timing for the hops (bitter, earlier, and aroma at the end), but I thought the hops for this purposes would have different composition between them. So in this case, it doesn't matter if I add whatever package first right? Because they are...

Hello, total newb here, I tried to search about this question but I couldn't find it (Is kinda specific) anyway, I just received my ingredients kit from a custom shop in Arizona, all good with the ingredients, but the issue here is idk what hops are the aromatic and the bitter ones, the package...

Hello everybody, my name is David and I'm from Mexico. I just received my equipment and I can't wait to start brewing, I just need to get some final stuff (bottles...). Just want to say this is one of the best borads to help noobs to start in this craft, I received plenty of information...
