Hi everyone, I posted a while ago about why my bottles were exploding and, low and behold, I was putting in about 3 times the amount of priming sugar as I should have! Moronic I know, so we don't have to go into that...:) Now I'm left with about 3 batches worth (minus the nearly ENTIRE...

Ok so here my basic process. I understand I'm probably not doing everything correctly, but I kind of assume any of these recipes are like any cooking ones, with personal preferences and taste altering them somewhat. I have a can of hopped Muntons LME as my base kit. Here is my process in...

Ok, so my last brew had a single bottle blow, and the others were fairly over carbonated. But now the second brew had roughly 20 blow! It's been 3 weeks, so I have a bunch of questions. I guess let me restart here: I'm making a Munson's American Light hopped LME kit and adding raspberries and...

So I haven't checked my bottles in a few weeks. Now we see one has blown! Its been a while since it blew cause there is no liquid left on the ground and everything I'd dry. My question is: will more be exploding in the coming weeks?? Thanks!

So my newest brew is for my wedding, and I've put raspberries in the fermenter. It tastes delicious out of the primary! I can't wait to check it out in a couple weeks. The only thing I worry about is the fact that while bottling there was a bit of sediment that made it into some of the bottles...

I'm planning on making a few brews for my wedding, and need to find something reasonably priced. I'm looking on my local brew supply store and see canned beer kits from Muntons. It says it comes with yeast but needs 2 lbs of DME or sugar to finish the batch. Is that really all I need to get...

Hey everyone, Here's what I'm thinking: Rather than get a full ingredient kit, I'd like to get the Liquid Hopped Extract kit and priming sugar. I'd also like to add some raspberries and 2 cups of vodka that had rose petals soaking in it for 2 weeks to turn it reddish. I'm making a brew for...

Hey guys, I'm wondering if there is any difference in price buying ingredients a la carte rather than the ingredient kits? What exactly do I need to buy if I'm doing it that way? Thanks for any help! Ducas

Hi everyone, I'm one batch down, waiting another week for my bottles to be ready. And I'm super excited to keep it going. My question now is: Are there any ingredient kits that are in the $20 range or cheaper? Most of the Brewers Best kits are like $40 and that seems like the same range as...

I've seen on here that sierra Nevada bottles are great for scavenging, but I'm wondering what other bottles can be used? I can't use twist off bottles, correct? Obviously those are the easiest to gather, but I'll be making a few calls this week and just want to see what we can get. Thanks for...

Hi everyone, I just got my first kit for Christmas, and I'm crazy excited! I'm getting married in July and I want to brew a batch for the wedding party as a gift. But obviously I'd like to get a few brews under my belt before I make it public. I figure I'll do alright, and I'm trying to not...
