I tried a sip of it last weekend. It was very decent. Didn't have the bad aftertaste like my previous batch. It was smooth, I think chilled it will be a good beer!

Haven't been in there yet, any good deals?

Brewers Best American Pale Wheat brewed yesterday. This is my second batch. Big difference from the basic coopers can and dextrose I did the first time. It was Intimidating at first with the grains and everything but came together super easy. Wanted to make sure this beer was much better than...

I decided to chance it and did it the way the kit called. If its a little to bitter maybe ill do some orange on the secondary.

Today I went to my Home Brew Store and purchased a Brewers Best American Pale Wheat kit, am hoping to get a good wheat beer out of it. Upon reading reviews on it people have remarked on how hopy the brew is. My problem is now I am not a big hopy kind of guy. I am not a fan of that...

i think I may just stick with 5 gallon kits and give away the extra's to family and friends. Doctor doesn't know about my new beer making hobby yet. :D Good thing I am only pre diabetic and with exercise and a healthy diet I should be able to keep my new hobby going! So, I am flying out to...

I certainly will. I hope the bitterness goes away with some more time. After a trip to the ERa couple weeks ago I found out I have high blood sugar. So now I am looking for maybe 1 or 2 gallon kits instead of the big 5. Certainly don't need all the beer in the house. Any suggestions on smaller...

This is a beer that was brewed saint Patrick's Day and bottled a week after when the numbers flatlined. The mistakes I made was pitching the yeast a little warm and now realizing bottling to early. I bottled about half that day (ran out if bottles). I tried one a week ago and the Initial taste...

I tried it a week ago and the Initial taste was good, but a strong almost sour like aftertaste. What I suppose you would call a green beer it has say for another week now and I put another in the fridge last night and will try again. Ill report as soon as I find out :)

Coopers Draught. I forgot the reading but across days 5-7 it measured the same. Which told me it was done fermenting. I racked into the bottling bucket and bottled with coopers carb drops. Now it's sitting in the bottles at 70 degrees for a couple weeks and ill try it again. As far as the...

Day 7 bottling. Not going to lie, doesn't taste the greatest. I hope conditioning will bring out the flavor. Will know in a couple weeks!

Oh thats no problem! I am enjoying drinking my way to empty bottles :tank:

Darn to late to call dibs on the glasses! Oh well, I still got at least a week before bottling. Five days in my coopers extract. Bubbling is very slow. Decided it was time to take a reading to see where it was at. Hope I am reading it right but .020. Right where it says finish on beer in the...

He has been a tone of help! Easier to learn by watching video's than reading in my opinion. :mug:

no one ever stays around for very long. :tank:

I am not sure! Haha. I am now starting to catch on and realize there is actually taste in beer besides water. I've gone out of my comfort zone with Fat Tire and Shock Top Shandys. Getting there! Not going to lie, started drinking them because I need pop top bottles for bottling, lol. I've read...

Heyyy! My hometown! Thumbs up.

Coopers Draught. I hope it's one ill like. Kit instructions are little to fast I believe. States 1week in primary than bottle. So ill be doing 1week in the primary and another in the secondary. My taste buds are still learning. I've always been a bud light guy. My girlfriend on the other hand...

Ohhh the hours you wait to see fermentation on your first batch. Thank you for the help yesterday HBT. Room is at about 60-65 degrees. This evening maybe i'll turn it up closer to 70 or place a space heater by it to encourage it to get going if I don't see any activity. Has anyone brewed the...

Another one from Sioux Falls. Complete newbie, made my first 5 gallon today from a kit I bought from Taylors.
