Hey everyone, I havent brewed in a few years and just jumped back into it. I brewed a double New England IPA. I wasn’t able to separate the trub from the boil kettle so I ended up dumping all of it in, but it still didn’t seem like that much. Here’s a picture of my fermenter on Day 1 of...

Hey everyone, I was able to get my hands on an unlimited supply of these Korean, Hite Beer bottles. They're an odd size at 1pt 5.6floz but I think they could totally work. Hows the lip look on them? Let me know your thoughts. Thx, Edward

1. Im currently brewing an IPA on the higher end of the alcohol scale, using Safeale US-05 yeast. My apartment here in LA gets up to around 75 during the day time but most of the evening and during the night, it is well within the normal temps. How much will this effect my beer taste, and can...

Hi everyone, Relatively new to the craft. Just brewed Northern Brewers Dead Ringer IPA kit. Its been fermenting for about 3.5 days now, and decided Id be curious to see if I can lighten it up a bit and bump up the alcohol. Spoke to a brew master that I know and he said to boil some cane...

First time brew.... Just capped. Slightly crooked...worried they didn't seal and wont carb. A shake upside down shows that its not leaking but Im still worried... Thoughts? Eddie

Hi Everyone, I'm a first time brewer and just received my essentials starter kit from Northern. I have a major love for Belgian Strongs in the vein of Delerium Tremens. HIGH carbonation, light body, floral and citrus notes and on the higher side of the alcohol spectrum. I understand these...

Hello! First time brewer and just purchased the Northern Brewer Essentials kit. Is there a way to do a Belgian Golden Ale similar to Delirium Tremens for a beginner that doesn't take quite so long? Im not so concerned about the higher alcohol content as I am about the flavor and high...

Hi Everyone, First off, Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone. I just received my first Northern Brewer Essentials Starter Kit which came with the Caribou Slobber Recipe Kit. I do like Brown Ales, but I would much prefer to start with a kick ass IPA kit to begin my journey. If I...
