Home made. Fried on the stove top. Just a little bit of orange zest. Enjoyed these with a hop henge from Deschutes

The cashier charged me 3.70 for 10 gallons with no deposit...This beer was meant to be brewed today

I look like a crazy person inspecting the water jugs at Walmart.

1/2 teaspoon

While yeast can proliferate under a wide range of conditions, there are optimal conditions for growth. The more the yeast has to adjust to temp changes the less efficient it will be at fermentation

I'm relatively new to the game so the only question I can answer is the first one. The actual brewing process is not that complicated; anybody can make beer. It's making good beer consistently that gets hairy. I can also tell you that when it comes to equipment, do your research (the HBT...

Great, thanks. I didn't realize till too late yesterday that I had forgotten to order a hydrometer so a FG would be kind of meaningless this go round. I think I'll leave it. Rather have a slightly stronger brew than risk introducing nasties.

Great thanks for the tips! I boiled about 8 gallons of wort still came up a smidge short. MAYBE a half gallon. I get the feeling from the replies I should just not worry about adding water to get the exact volume. Is that general consesus? I'll attach a picture of my fermenter for reference.

So I brewed my first 5g AG batch yesterday, and it went pretty smoothly (only thing that really went wrong was spilling some base malt, but I had extra). Although I'm not worried that I ruined it or anything I do have a couple of questions for the vets. Left some head space in the primary, but...

I'd think either something with agave or coconut would be appropriate. Maybe even a hefe with some tropical fruit.

Thanks guys! I got the fever real bad. Brewing a Colombus IPA cause I feel like that makes sense for the opening day of America's past time.

Brew day tomorrow! Cheers!

I picked up a Funk Metal from them last time I was in ATX. It was the first sour I had ever tried and I loved it. Wish I could get more beers like that where I live

I think it has a lot to do with the rise of craft beers in general. When people turn to craft beers they are generally looking for something different. If all you've ever drank is coors light, it's not gonna get much different than an IPA. The bitterness, citrus, or pineyness are easily...

After a few months of research and gathering supplies I'm finally ready for my first 5 gallon AG batch! I figured I'd share my humble set up here since I got most of my info from reading the HBT forums. Obviously I'm going to have to elevate the HLT a little bit more. I'm working with 10...
