I followed the link and it shows the sale for me. Built an order using the promo code and it showed the discount as well. If I were into IPAs this would be a great deal since you can order three of the same kit if you want.

You should check out these. The first one sounds fairly close to what you want. https://www.groennfell.com/recipes

I have been considering on how to make a mead have a nice honey flavor without using a really large amount of honey. I’m fairly inexperienced when it comes to brewing. I’ve made a couple of extract batches and I’ve got a few gallons of cider fermenting but nothing exceptional. So I may be...

I’m grateful to have gotten back into brewing and fermentation in general after a hiatus for the last few years

Yes.

I wasn't really planning on making a chiller anytime soon but I couldn't pass up this deal. Picked up 1/2" x 50' for $15.03. It was the last if that size but there were several other sizes still available. Store in North Olmsted, OH. Now to research what other parts I need! I love homebrew...

Stupid question but what would I need to buy besides the kegs to make this work. Obviously a CO2 tank and a regulator. I guess what I'm asking is what is a bare bones setup consist of. Thinking about maybe picking up one or two now and then getting the rest of the equipment later.

Well it's been a couple weeks and I've opened a few bottles now and I'm happy to report it was only that first bottle that was rusted. I have no idea why it did, but I'm happy the rest have been fine.

This was my thought as well. These caps were the ones that came as part of my Midwest Supplies starter kit. I wonder if the were a cheaper quality than their usual?

So I bottled my first batch of beer one week ago. I couldn't wait any longer and popped one open last night. (I know I know... :) anyway, after pouring and drinking (yum) I noticed some red around the neck of the bottle which led me to investigate the cap. The bottom edge of the cap around the...

Your directions were perfect. I followed them to the letter and it worked flawlessly (after a little practice). Thank you and the other posters for your assistance. Now the hard part... Waiting :)

So I'm getting ready to bottle soon and it just dawned on me that I'm not sure what to start the siphon with. I don't have an auto siphon. I plan on submerging the hose in starsan and siphoning some starsan through the hose to sanitize it. But once this is done, what do I do? Should I leave the...
