Listerine?? Ewwwww! Please let it taste like beer, please let it taste like beer!!

Although the swamp cooler works and really isn't all that much trouble to switch out ice bottles, I do have a spare fridge in my garage. Seems like a no-brainer to go ahead and equip it with a refridgerator thermostat to ensure the yeast are happy and my beer is fermenting at proper temps. I...

I had nearly the same experience over the weekend. 18hrs and finis! Plan to wait for a week or so before opening up the pail and doing any investigating. Question though...what does a "hot taste" taste like?

The rotten egg smell wont do me much good...pretty marshy 'round these parts! New filters, new cartridges, its all the same. The water just isnt palatable enough to brew with. Ill buy purified water. Like Hang Glider said, I wont let the $5 get in the way of a tasty batch. But somewhere...

Could some peoples in southern US states help a sister out??? I would really prefer to purchase some RO water for my brewing. It's cheaper, much more earth friendly and, well, my filtered tap water tastes like poo. Unfortunately I can't find a dang vending machine anywhere. When I lived on...

MADWOMAN, actually! Phew, glad to hear other people's work productivity has decreased as well. Since this addiction doesnt sound cureable, I may need to log off and look into housekeepers...the home productivity is on the downhill slope too. Ah well. Who cares. BEER!!!

You decide to start hombrewing and stumble upon this site. You begin reading it every other day or so (in addition to The Complete Joy of Homebrewing). Then you begin to check the HBT site regularly, amazed at the DIY projects, the recipes, the pure ingenuity of homebrewers out there. Next...

I too live in an area where there isn't a homebrew shop to be found for miles and miles and miles (2hr drive). So as a newbie, I was forced to order online. Last week Monday I ordered my first beer kit from Northern Brewer (extra pale ale) and had it 2-day delivered to mi casa. Despite the...
