no worries dude. i wouldn't be offended as this is a hobby for me. just like working on my car or making beef jerky is a hobby of mine, so is homebrewing now. its exciting and lots of fun. even if friends or family don't enjoy my brew, i will. i do want some of my friends to realize the...

good analogy but chicken strips all taste the same (w/ minor differences) and are priced probably the same right - just like BMC. i'd let this entirely thing go if there was a way to determine a difference in more expensive chicken strips vs going to a restaurant that is known for amazing steak...

i completely understand ppl genuinely enjoy the flavor of BMC, but have those ppl who drink that on a regular basis, whether for flavor or pleasure or price, actually have ventured out and tried many craft brews? that's what i love about homebrewing and microbrews; ppl are doing their own thing...

i personally don't do that b/c i'm neither in college nor am i struggling to make ends meet. but when i was first starting out in my career, not only did i just not buy beer b/c i couldn't afford IMO good beer, but i lived on $10 for 10 chimecangas. not b/c i liked them but b/c i can eat 2 per...

:ban: not saying that ppl are too stupid to read between the lines or too stupid to know what they want/like. why is it that these ppl actually buy this kind of beer though? taste? price? advertising? i think its all 3 but the price being the most significant that drives the masses to buy...

not trying to be a ********* or anything, i just don't see how it is possible for ppl to buy into some of this crap BMC throws at us. but i guess it pays off.

i don't see PBR advertising but i believe they are doing just fine, maybe not as big as BMC but its cheap. probably preference among ppl. i know my friend swears by coors. no matter what. im sure he wasn't sucked into an advertising gimmick, it was probably based upon going to parties and...

is it based solely on watching a commercial? do you really think that someone is going to head to the store as soon as they see a BMC commercial? probably not. its definitely b/c of the pricing. if dogfish or pyramid among many other micros advertised like BMC does, i don't think they'd...

i think its more due to the fact that it is super cheap to buy and i know a crapload of BMC is consumed by high school/college students playing beer pong or getting "drunk"and well of course those who can't afford more expensive beer. i really don't think seeing a bullet train in the snow to...

alright well i will refrain from referring to BMC's brews as "girly". again im quite sorry about that. anyway; back to brewing! do the advertising gimmicks really work for BMC? i mean like the vortex bottle neck or the rockies turn blue when ur beer is cold or there was a Canadian beer...

sorry about that, didn't mean for an insults and didn't realize you were a girl lol. yea i know plenty of guys who prefer BMC but the main reason they decide to buy BMC over ANY other brew is b/c of price and i hardly ever see ppl drinking PBR which i can sorta tolerate over BMC. i am certain...

ahh ok. well my apologies :mug: just finished reading Revvys great info. I do recall seeing lots of "light" beer ads from the 30's-50's (im a big WWII buff) and never really put much thought into it as to why they were light. i suppose for me; when i started to first drink beer about 5...

Are IIPA's or American Red "light"? I'm simply referring to BMC's "light or "low calorie" beers. Someone mentioned Beer Wars on Netflix, I watched that documentary, there is a scene where the director aks various ppl to try to tell the difference between BMC's lights and no one was able to...

also i'm sure it will probably be still a green beer but will it be fine to consume?

lol thanks for the advice. I don't need them for Christmas but I'm going to be driving to my parents and was hoping the beers would be far enough along that it would be a tasty treat for my family to enjoy.

yup its Adventures in Homebrewing

patience is not my strong-suit lol. also; I've never heard of this "clearing stage". I've only heard ppl talking about 2-3 weeks in primary and/or secondary. What exactly is this "clearing stage"? I did add in some Irish Moss at the last 15mins of boil, if that is what they mean by clearing.

Definitely. It is quite an accomplishment to be able to become a beer empire. I noticed someone mentioned the usage of rice. What is that in place of?

last year i brought some Anchor Steam Christmas Ale to a Christmas party my fiance and I go to every year. They had a beer contest; whoever brought the best "Christmas" beer won a prize (it was a Jagermeister package w/ shot glass - I love Jager lol). Anyway; nobody liked the Anchor Steam...

ok cool. thanks :) now the instructions that came w/ my kit also said the following: 5. Airlock should be active within 24 hours, with fermentation slowing down by the end of day 7, the clearing stage is beginning. Let clear for approx. 7 days. 6. When ready to bottle, boil priming...
