I'm going to begin to experiment with all of these great ideas and suggestions. Just bottled off my apple cider then now I have pear cider on and next comes beer. Blonde Lager is first up as that's the best starting point for what I want to achieve... I think. I'll have to do a regular batch...

Extract? Hmmm, would or could I add that to my mix a day or so before bottling? Where would I find extract like this(are there several apple varieties)? About how much does it cost and how much roughly would I need per 23L batch? Again I'm pretty new to all of this so sorry for so many questions.

So its as simple as in my brewing bucket replacing like 1/2 of the water with apple juice? Sounds pretty simple, I'll give it a try once I'm finished making my batch of Pear cider. Even if it doesn't taste good or quite like I want, I'll still drink it anyway. lol

Apple juice work? Or would it need to be some form of a sweet apple cider? At what point does it become considered Graf? I'm thinking we're onto something here. I like it.

No this is true light lager with a nice crisp fresh apple taste. Now that you've mentioned Graf though, I may have to see what I can make with that kind of thing too. lol

Hello all, just wondering if anyone has ever had Bud Light "apple"? I'm looking to make beer as close to it as possible. How many different apple hops would there be our there? I'm still very new to all of this so looking for any advice. For now I'm mainly just brewing the " Crafted beer" or...

Have you ever tried the Crafted Pear Cider? I did up the sugar a bit and the results were still great. I'm looking for the experiences of others making it. Also had some of the Crafted Apple Cider and Crafted Blueberry Cider(smells like baby poo, lol)

Geesh, that's a beauty of a guide right there. Didn't know there were so many kinds of beer. lol, I'd like to try them all. Thank you for sending that info along, I'm guessing I'll check in on that one as a reference pretty often.

How is one supposed to know this? Like where should I go to have it explained? I'm just getting started but I'm going to brew steadily. I'm still not understanding ABV vs. the 5% alcohol that's listed on the majority of beers here in Canada, what's the difference?

I'm here in Nova Scotia, Canada. The local store I buy from is called Valleybrewtique I see you are in Bedford, is that Bedford, NS? Or are you elsewhere?

Hello all, just wondering if anyone has tried making any of the Crafted Beer kits? I made a batch of Crafted Pear Cider and it turned out fantastic. I'm now getting ready to put on a batch of Crafted Irish Red Ale. Anyone try these out yet and have any tips or advice, I'm hoping to make all...
