I joined this site a few years ago with the intention of brewing a decent amount of beer. Shortly after purchasing my brewing equipment kit, I made a batch of Apfelwein. Unfortunately, things never quite worked out for my brewing desires due to unforseen circumstances in other parts of my life...

I made a batch of Apfelwein with my wife during the last week of April. We planned on bottling it after letting it ferment for two months. However, I ended up getting a 2nd job around that time so it had to go on the back-burner for a little while. Long story short, it's still not bottled:(...

I was playing the community written 1 vs 100 show tonight on XBOX Live tonight and question 36 of 37 was one that had to be posted by a fellow homebrewer. I don't remember the question verbatim but it was something along the lines of: "What beer is created by a bottom feeding yeast?"...

I know I'm not a terribly well known member here, but I figured I'd let you guys know that I just started working at a Movado company store and can get you guys some great deals. If you're interested, just shoot me a PM or reply in this post and I'll get back to you asap with more info. Mods...

What vendor has the cheapest bottles? I'd like to add some new bottles to my current inventory in preparation for my first brew and my first batch of Apfelwein. I looked at Midwest first because it was only $23 for two cases of 22oz bottles but the shipping cost more than the two cases combined...

I was going to wait until tomorrow to do this but SWMBO (still not sure what the hell that means other than significant other, lol) wanted to help do it tonight so we got everything ready and made it. It didn't take long to make and I've got it sitting in our spare bedroom in total darkness with...

I'm not sure if this is the right section, but it's something that need to be posted. As mentioned in a recent thread of mine, I ordered an intermediate kit and some other odds and ends from Midwest last week; one of those was the 32oz EZ Cap bottle they had on special when you buy a recipe kit...

I finally ordered my homebrew kit from Midwest. I went with their Intermediate kit with better bottles & took them up on an awesome promo offer of a 32oz bottle for $1.50. I'm planning to make a batch of Ed Wort's Apfelwein shortly after the kit makes its way here but I need some help. Where...

This label is in its early stages and VERY far from being complete, but I thought I'd post this draft of it up to see what you all think. It will be brewed next month, hopefully, and it will be Midwest's Big Ben Pale Ale recipe kit. Obviously, I'll need to fill in the pertinent information about...

...that I'll go the turkey fryer route with my brewing. It'll allow my wife to do her womanly duty of cooking while I brew:D & rid the possibility of her complaining of any potential bad smells. I took a quick look on Amazon and found this: Amazon.com: Bayou Classic 3066A 30-Quart Outdoor...

Would this pot be any good to pick up? Also, would it be too much for a normal stove? http://cgi.ebay.com/Adcraft-Aluminum-Stock-Pot-40-Quart_W0QQitemZ110341903536QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBI_Concessions?hash=item110341903536&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A15|39%3A1|240%3A1318

So I'll finally be picking up my homebrewing equipment very soon and I want to be sure I have everything I need when I make the order. Here's my list so far: Midwest Intermediate Kit 2 20qt brew pots 2 cases of 22oz bottles Star San Big Ben Pale Ale Recipe Kit Big River Brown Ale Recipe...

Hey, guys, I just threw together a quick logo for the Loose Screw Brewery on GIMP (just dl'ed the program a little while ago). What do you think?

I've tossed around 3 different names and I can't settle on one. I'm leaning toward the first 2 on the poll. Story behind each: 148 Street Brewery-This is the street I grew up on in Miami. Angry Pirate Brewing Company-Look "angry pirate" up on urbandictionary.com; dirty but very funny...

Is it safe to ferment in my garage? Keep in mind, I live in South Florida, so the outside temperatures can get into the mid 90's during the summer (it's in the 70's right now). There's one window in the garage but the blinds are usually closed so the area's actually fairly dark. I'd like to...

I'm currently trying to decide which route to go with for the bottling of my beer. Although the beer won't be made until February/March '09, I'm researching to take care of all the odds and ends beforehand. Assuming I get the itch after my first couple of batches, which I'm sure will happen, I...

I'm going to apologize ahead of time as I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I wasn't able to come up with much when I searched (I probably put the wrong terms in). I'm planning to buy a kit very soon, I'm just not sure which one to get. Here are the ones that I'm looking at...

There was a thread about home brewing on a Grand Prix forum that I frequent and when I asked about some good sites to check out, this was one of the few that were posted. I haven't picked up a kit or done any brewing of my own yet, but after I do enough research to get a basic understanding of...
