I found that if you build your own kit and remove some of the things you dont need (buckets, just get em for 2.99 at lowes/home depot) you can get it a lot cheaper. Search the DIY section of this forum for TONS of ways to make things yourself. for me, its the same difference between buying beer...

how else will you know what you like and want to brew!

I started with a mr. beer kit. at bed bath and beyond you can find em for 15-30 bucks. you make 1 case of beer and its easy. Play up your excitement around her and hopefully win her over with that. slowly move up to stove top partial mash BIAB method. and by then the rest of the investment can...

Hey Ed, I havent heard from you yet. Any information?

Would be a shame not to use some of that space for lagering....

:D Niiiiiiicccceeee.....

I had a thread about a month back about a lemonade fermentation. I got the same speech. I'd rather stick to beer but SWMBO loves her lemonade.

So you're going to add flavoring right before bottling, AND add coopers tabs? Watch out for shrapnel from all your bottle bombs. The only way I have seen to end up with a Sweet, carbonated beverage, is to pasteurize. There is a sticky at the top of the cider forum. It's (mildly) dangerous but...

I would prefer a 2 hole setup. one for the sight glass that is lower, and one for the thermometer which i would place just above the middle point. Mounting the thermometer higher should give a clearer reading as to the actual temp and not be as influenced by the burner. If you use some DIY...

It's possible. the first one never made it to me but Fedex told me that it was dented during shipping. I re-read my last post and I didnt mean to make it sound as harsh as it came off. Like I said, my grain costs have gone down ever since i switched over to brewmasters warehouse. Ed, I'll be...

I like brewmasters warehouse, they have a great selection and their grain costs are lower than my LHBS (which isnt so local) BUT I ordered a plastic carboy and it arrived all dented. I sent it back figuring shipping damage and the second one arrived and it was just as dented! I think this is...

I can't wait to switch to AG. SWMBO is alright with it because most times the grain costs are less than their PM counterparts. I'm working on getting everything i need together so i can get a nice outdoor brew setup.

I used top off water, about 1.5 gal. but i lightly spun the fermenter to create a whirlpool and then took my reading... It's a possibility that it didnt mix well.

So i just bottled my first partial mash and the readings I'm getting are strange. my OG was 1.053 which was a little high for my style (blonde ale) but i didn't think anything of it. I pitched my wyeast American ale smack pack and sat it in my closet to ferment. I let it sit for a week and...

Well I'm still new to pm and ag but it sounds like you over carbonated it. Did you check the fg to make sure it was done fermenting before you bottled?

an ancient mayan family once stored the placenta of their child and added yeast, there are natural sugars in the placenta that the yeast can break down. That is the "seeds" you saw. Most of it dissolves in the 18 years it has to sit. No. I don't know what your dad made. Talk to someone who was...

It never got changed. I thought i could change the title, i could only change the subtitle. :(
