I also added a 4 cups of sugar as a late addition. Backsweetened and bottle pasteurized after carbonation

After some aging, it now tastes like a vernors soda! And it finished at 8% alcohol. Dangerous stuff. Kinda tastes like you'd use it as a mixer for a dark and stormy

just started some!

tasting notes. spicy ginger, slightly sweet, big heavy beer. vanilla flavors and a nose of spicy ginger. not my favorite but my girlfriend loves it says it tastes like starbucks hibiscus refresher and at 7.53 percent where it finished, i cant stop her from drinking it. she hates beer btw.

yeah, i already have too much homebrew wines, spir#*$ and beer on tap to drink. guess ive gotta throw that huge boat party, so i can have an excuse to brew more. this is total boat beer. i love the community here. the nose on this beer needs work.

its not done yet, its dryed a bit, but it has slow bubbles, its only been two days at 68 degrees ambient and the wort must 70 something, it took off way fast though.

i used a starter i made with a cake of safale s04 from my ginger beer, blended with the kits yeast in some warm water with sugar.

this is my first Beer beer, not ginger beer, not skeeter pee, not apfelwein, forgive my excitement, this is awesome. I made a muntons beer kit mexican creveza with an addition of a can of extra light lme, and an oz of cascade hops and a little pinch of irish moss. Wow, it was the best beer ive...

I have a big 5 gallon plastic bottle, and an airlock, a big stock pot, and use mostly dme, or if I'm making cider or wine sugar, brown sugar or honey.star San on everything. I've got a recipe as my last thread I want to get into partial grain and adjunct brewing as my next project, but my lhbs...

Alright. experiment over, i opening all my jars, and pouring them in my bottling bucket, and ill buy a ton of sprite bottles.

I will buy Amber glass or pet for my next beer, but to ease your mind read this, testing These jars using legit explosions http://www.fuel-saver.org/Thread-Glass-Mason-Jars-Stupid-Idea

That's true. I'll probably buy some when my Mexican creveza in primary is done, and I'll bottle them in old soda bottles. I just won't use root beer bottles :p till I make the hard root beer I've been procrastinating.

yeah, but the cheapest beer that i drink that comes in pry off bottles is becks, and it adds up when you want to buy roughly a hundred bottles. we live on the beach so, my friends and i have to buy mostly cans because its illegal to have glass on beach days.

not with my current brews, as they are very low on hops and i store them in the dark, but maybe ill paint some jars and do some art :) so then theyd be opaque

panama city, so a good minute away, thanks for your offer man, id totally send you a brew, but i doubt my brewing skill is anything to brag about at this point. that and i dont want to mail a grenade. man, people on this forum are so nice!

amber bottles Are so expensive. if i had a bunch of them, i totally would. i was just prooving mason jars as a viable system of bottling. i have the jars locked in a thick wood cabinet. basically look at how much can be leaked in a short periods of time, they will blow when too much gas is made...

i swap lids, the jars i use are 1 quart regular mouth mainstays and im experimenting with ball regular mouth 1 quart jars. a 12 pack of the mainstays jars and lids is 7 bucks, whenever i need lids a 24 pack is three bucks. at my LHBS a box of bottles is alot more than 7 bucks, and i dont drink...

the metal isnt strong enough to hold the pressure, im carbing to 7 volumes to prove you cannot get beyond a nice level of carbonation with mason jars, enough to produce a decent pop when opened and a small amount of vapor. 2 volumes must be safe, if jars can be way overcarbed with no foul...

ive recently discovered a trick to end bottle bombs and at this moment i am gambling death to prove it. i have bottled skeeter peee, and carbed it in mason jars, and am currently carbing beer in them. the thing is the caps leak before they explode. my current brew is projected to produce 7.0...

low gravity anything, i have a tendency to always make everything really high octane. Results in my friends falling over things proclaiming theyve only had 3 beers :D
