Well, the first batch has only two bottles left. I just bottled my second batch, a steeping grains extract stout, which thanks to the lessons learned in the first batch went much better. Thanks everyone for your help. Cant wait for the stout to be ready, more waiting. I need to get a few more...

Batch is bottled, excited for the end product. I might put one in the fridge in a week to see how things taste, but I'm planning at least 2-3 weeks of conditioning with these bad boys. Plenty of time to label and decide how much I'm giving away, and to who.

My girlfriend cant stand beer, or wine, or straight alcohol. Just mixed drinks with more sugar then a bakery. It makes me a bit sad, and hurts my wallet when we go out, but I cant change it. I'm planning at some point to make her a mikes hard clone, I know she'll drink that.

Hello from another upstate New Yorker :)

Hello, I'm actually from East of Troy, I go to school in Oswego though, so I'm not around right now. Welcome!

I go to school in Oswego, I might be able to make it on Saturday. Will you be there at any time? Might be cool if we could organize a table of HBT people for a tasting. Just an idea.

I'm really interested in moving away from kits and working on my own. My first brew is in the Primary right now, and as long as it comes out alright, I will want my batch to be a bit more original. After having my first Newcastle Brown Ale last night, I want to take a crack at the style...

I did a little searching before posting but didn't find exactly what I'm looking for. I feel bad because I'm probably just an awful searcher, so sorry ahead of time. Is it pretty safe to buy bottles from a bar or bottle recycling center? Where I go to school there are 15 bars on the main...

Well after a long night last night, my first batch is fermenting away. I started by reading the instructions, as well as The Complete Joy of Homebrewing: 3rd Edition (through the beginner section). Then I cleaned and sanitized everything (the kit came with an iodine based sanitizer. Next I...

Hi everyone, I'm Evan, a new home brewer from upstate New York. I recently received a starting homebrew kit from my parents for Christmas, and I'm very excited to get started brewing. Sadly I must wait until I get to school in order to start brewing, but once I get there I cant wait to start...
