Right and I agree with you, but to the person who has never brewed a batch in their life, and follow the directions above or in any beer kit, there's high chances they will not have those problems. and exploding bottles/sweetness could be due to using too much priming sugar. but those are good...

shoot I wouldnt worry too much about it. It's and IPA so I'm sure it'll be fine. Let us know how it turns out!

Don't worry about that too much. Did you follow the instructions and is your volume in the fermenter where you want it to be? If so, you'll be very close to your ABV target. let us know how the beer tastes when it's done!

Well, I agree with you. However this post is meant for a beginner who has never brewed a batch before. It's easier to get into a hobby without having to worry about more advanced topics/equipment that we all use and rely on. When I first got my Mr. Beer kit, and even a few 5 gallon batches after...

thanks a lot!

That will work ok as long as you are careful with any holes you cut. If you have the space, try craigslist for a chest freezer. For my kegerator, I got a nice sized chest freeze that works just fine for about $40. cant beat that!

Hello Everyone! I started homebrewing when my wife bought me a Mr. Beer kit, and I've been learning and brewing ever since. I wrote up a very detailed, in depth post on my website, and here is just the text version of it. If you'd like to see the pictures and charts I have included, check it out...

as a matter of fact I did change the recipe around a little in beer smith and here's what I came up with based on the taste test last time: 7 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 68.5 % 1 lbs 4.0 oz Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 2 11.4 % 12.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L...

Yes I did. It turned out pretty good. Somewhat close to Devils ale although it was not as malt forward as Devils ale. It seemed a little dull compared to it but it was a nice pale ale and my wife liked it. She always says I'm too judgmental of my beers but I say that's how I'm gonna get...

im in !!

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could take a quick peek at my recipe and tell me if you think the proportions are right? I'm trying to make a Devil's Ale clone (SanTan Brewing Co.) and I formulated this recipe based off of their description and the list of ingredients on their website...

So you think maybe 2 oz of nibs, soaked in vodka for a few days and maybe a week in secondary? How much cocoa powder should I add during the boil for a gallon batch?

Hey guys, I am going to brew another beer and I have some cherries on hand so I wanted to do an experimental 1 gallon batch with some cherries and cocoa nibs. Here's my recipe and if you guys have brewed something similar can you please let me know what I can do to change it or just let me...

thanks guys

Hey guys, i've been doing some research on why my beer tastes yeasty. This is my second batch using a mr beer kit and their premium pale ale hopped malt extract recipe kit. Now, two batches have turned out to be yeasty. The first batch, I waited 2 weeks, bottled, then drank them 2 weeks later...
