I discovered homebrewtalk.com in 99.8% of any google query I submitted having to do with, brewing beer, drinking beer, sharing beer etc. Recipe? BOOM, you're there. Causes of dimethyl sulfide? BOOM, Home Brew Talk. This is an an AMAZING forum. Between my other hobbies and my work related searches nothing has come close to the amount of information I have absorbed from your service. Keep up the good work, I'll be donating financially next pay day. Paypal?

What is great though, is that your forum stays true to what beer has always been since it's discovery; Bringing folks together.
 
I was searching for first time Mr Beer brewing information and found this forum. I am glad I did!
Cheers,
Steve :rockin:
 
I actually originally signed up for the soda forum. About a year later I got into homebrewing and remembered I had an account. I think the universe was on my side back then
 
I did a google search for a hard ginger ale recipe and you guys came up. I've looked for a little less technical, more rudimentary, more gentle group and this seems to fit the bill for my naivety. Please allow me to start from ignorance.
 
I had several specific questions about home brewing, and every time I typed them into a search engine, half the top links were to threads on this site.

So I figured I'd go straight to the source. :D

Was sitting here waiting for the weather to warm up so I could take my dog for a walk and decided to see if there was a Homebrew group in my area. We'll as it turns out I found a neighbor who knows about that sort of thing. But, in order to contact him I had to join the Forum to get his info. So, here I am and yes I contacted him too! Thanks :)!
 
I was searching for local home brew clubs, and any time I searched for anything "homebrew" related, good old Google shot the forum to the top of the results. I'm glad it did, and I'm happy to be here.
 
I was just on Google looking for some peeps to chat brewing with! Looking forward to getting involved! Kev
 
I was gifted a Mr. Beer kit, and having done one years ago (which turned out abysmal), I Googled for advice on turning out something decent. Have been lurking since then, stepping up to steeped specialty grains & a full boil tonight.
 
Hello to everyone,

Last night I was at Rip Current Brewing in San Marcos, CA. In the course of our conversation with the brewmaster(?), he said we should take advantage of the expertise on this forum to help with our home brewing experiments.
I received a relatively complete brewing setup from my daughter for Christmas. Five gallon boil pot, hydrometer, two cases of bottles and a Pale Ale DME batch kit. Six pounds DME, Magnum hops at 60, Chinook at 15 and again at 5. White Labs WLP 001. In the fermenter at 72 degrees on 15 Jan 2015. Now I am waiting with almost as much excitement as my first born but with a whole lot less patience.
I will gladly take all help, guidance and information given.
 
A great forum I must say...quite a lot to learn from here and almost instantly I found someone from India to share my problems with starting brewing as a hobby....awsm job done.....thanks HBT
 
Maybe I didn't find you, rather... you found me ;)

But yeah.. I was desperately searching for answers and HBT was always on top. With what seemed to be the most accurate responses.
 
Found on Google, but then on our first visit to LHBS to purchase goodies, the proprietor mentioned the forums here. Just pitched yeast yesterday into our very first batch of cider! Yay!
 
I sought a recipe for hard ginger beer. I'm thinking that I want a higher percentage ginger beer, around 7-10%, but also sweet. So I want to use the right sugar for the yeast, the right yeast for the mash or wort or ferment. I'm hoping someone can steer me onto the best process.
 
After multiple Google searches many if my questions were answered by members here. Eager learn more.

Have done one extract kit and within a week was building my own immersion chiller and setting up a cooler as a mash tun. Will be doing my first all grain kit next weekend.

Already see this hobby getting out of control.View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1422404499.250912.jpg
 
Hello. I am new to brewing. I have made 2 brews already. One was in the tea bag and one was the cereal mash. I'm trying to make a shiner bock now since it's my favorite. I have a recipe for a 5 gal and got all of the ingredients. I only have 3 1gal bottles so I will make half of that recipe. I pretty much understood everything except when it told me to add the cereal to the main mash. Threw me off. I tried to find a video but couldn't. Please help.View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1422815145.044084.jpg
 
Although new to brewing also here is my take on the instructions. Looks like the cereal mash is the 2.26 lbs of corn grits and 5 oz. of 6 row malt done separately in 3.3 quarts of water. Adjust since you are making 3 gallons instead of 5.
Add the rest of grains to mash tun and mash. In the meantime bring the cereal mash of corn grits and 6 row to a boil then add to mash in mash tun and adjust water temp.

Cheers
