I've got a few batches of sweet mead under my belt now and the wife wants me to do something fruity. I've settled on either a blueberry, cherry, or cranberry melomel to do. Does anyone have any suggestions or good recipes? Will do a 1 gallon batch for now. Thanks!

So, for the past year or so, my neighbor has been helping me brew and has been taking a bigger interest in it. We now currently go half in on all ingredients and equipment and the brewery (home brewery) has now become a joint effort. As a thank you to him I have decided to rename the...

I am getting ready to make my second batch of Cream Ale for 4th of July. I use NB's Cream Ale kit as a base. I would like to make this into a vanilla cream ale. Last time I tried just adding some vanilla extract to this whil ine the secondary, but this gave me an off after taste. I am thinking...

Realized I don't have a thread for my labels so I will start one. Might be my favorite... This is one I made for the girlfriend who wanted to brew her own. I made her a label to stick on her keg. Still getting use to and learning the program but this is what I have so far.

While trying to improve upon my Wheatstone Bridge recipe, I have been trying to get more of a honey floavor. The problem is, I do not want to add more fermentable sugar to the mix. Is there anything out there such as a honey extract or flavoring that I could add that will give me the flavor of...

As the title states, I am looking for a good, light bodied beer for hot, summertime consumption. This will mainly be used for our annual summer parties. I am already planning on using an American Wheat for one option, but am looking for something light for some of my other friends and family...

Decided to make the jump to kegging after bottling 15 staright gallons... I am wanting a 5 gallon system with tank, manifold, keg, and all hardware. Where is the best place to buy from right now? Thanks and Cheers!

Battery Acid is my seasonal beer for out annual St. Patty's Day party. The beer is an Irish Blond Ale that I tinted green for the holiday. I know a lot of you shy from this, but my friends really enjoy it which is why I do it. Not my best label, but it works. Brewery logo is missing, but...

Getting ready to label my latest brew for St. Patty's Day and need help naming it. The name needs to be electrical theme, which all of my beers are. Some of the beers I have already brewed are: Brown Out, Wheat Stone Bridge, and PCB Porter. The beer I am having trouble with is an Irish Blonde...

So i created my labels using Gimp. Upon printing them they become blurry/fuzzy and not at all as clear as the look in the program. Thought this was a printer problem, but realized it prints photos crystal clear. I have tried printing directly from Gimp, as well as as pasting/opening the image...

Anyone ever used one of these to strain and filter their beer? Am pondering using this to clean the particulate out to make for a clearer brew? They come in 100, 200, and 400 micron screens. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200395396_200395396 Thoughts or concerns? Cheers!

Hey all. I am planning on brewing a beer for St. Patrick's Day that I will add green food coloring too in order to give me "green" beer. My question is, does anyone have any suggestions for which type of beer works best for this or any kit recommendations? I am not set-up for all grain, so it...

I have been playing around and teaching myself GIMP the past few days. This is the label I came up with for my wheat beer. The only thing left to add is the brewery logo above the name of the beer. I am currently waiting on Josh(brewbrandcreative) to finalize the logo. In keeping with the...

This was my first attempt at a beer label. Let me know what you think. The beer was a Newcastle Clone partial mash kit that turned out excellent! Cheers!

Just bottled my American Wheat Beer extract kit from Northern Brewer. The kit was pretty straight forward, such as the case with most extracts. I did add 2lbs. of honey to the last 5 minutes of boil. Left in primary for 2 weeks, and secondary for 1 week. Since I am away from my house, I...

I currently have an American Wheat fermenting in primary. I was thinking about adding some peach extract to a few of the bottles during bottling to see how that would turn out. My question is, would this be a good combo and if so, how much extract per 12oz bottle should I use?
