So I figured, why not, kill a few birds with one stone? I have had this in the back of my mind for a long time so it was somewhat planned out so I put it into action. I have repaired computers for a couple decades for a living so I was on solid ground & here is the final product. A...

After over 3 years of brewing I have finally brewed a pale Ale that I feel is good enough to share with some friends. 7 gallons of Pale Ale that is clear, clean, and tastes like what I have been after and I can reproduce it. 6.4 abv, a little strong but mighty good.:) I think when I started...

Just ordered 4 of these kits, less than $100 with shipping, can't hurt, take a look and tell me what you think for $19.99 a kit :mug: :mug...

Seems like every time I order a kit they have gone up in price at all the well known sites. :( Has anyone else noticed this increase? I have to wait for a site special offer before I buy. Also I see a lot of three gallon kits being offered that I don't remember seeing before. Might...

My American Ale has been bottled for 10 days, should I try a couple? I use 750ml pet bottles so I know when they are carbonated, the bottle is so tight you can barely squeeze it, has worked many times in the past. Too soon? Can't hurt, right:mug: :rockin:

Made a nice American Ale OG was 1.053, been in primary 3 weeks today, final gravity reading was 1.003, does that FG sound right, probably is. :mug:

I am sure it has been asked before, where do you find the best prices & service for your extract kits. I had a good supplier but their prices have become quite high. I usually order 2-3 kits at a time. :mug: Thanks for any input okiepc

Ran across this the other day under a work bench in a box, it was my fathers, he bought it in the early 50s when he did a short stint into homebrewing, mostly bottle bombs. Late at night you could hear them explode in the basement. It was all rusty & dirty & neglected, had not seen the light...

It is a pretty beer, in a glass I know is at least 60 years old. There were 4 glasses but this is the last survivor, I use it on special occasions. :rockin: Needs to condition a little longer, I am rushing it a bit.

Though I have brewed many extract kits, this is my first wheat, don't know what to expect. This is a Bavarian Hefeweizen with Safbrew WB-06 yeast & 3 ozs. Liberty hops & 6.6#s Wheat Malt extract & might be a few other additions. Should I use a Whirlfloc tablet with this or not? Going to...

Made a big red IPA, OG was 1.078 now after three weeks in primary @ ~ 67F my FG is 1.016, sound ok? It is very close to what I calculated. 7.5 ABV. I will take a couple more readings tomorrow & the next day to be sure then cold crash a few days, then bottle, should be ready for the 4th of...

Been 19 days in primary so I took a FG reading & it looks like it is about ready to cold crash. I will take a couple more readings in the next few days to be sure. The thing is, it is very clear & smells nice, so I had to take a taste & I found out what a hoppy IPA taste like, HOLY COW, that...

I ordered three ingredients kits & other assorted necessities from Kegerator out of Austin, Texas. All of the things were on sale & free shipping for the holidays, to make a long story short, one kit had some damage so I emailed them, told them the problem, two days later a new kit arrived to...

I have brewed several ales from kits & kilos to extract kits, all have been good but not excellent, at least to me. I have taken plenty of time to ferment & condition, have used the best ingredients available but the problem is they are too sweet for my taste. I have used Morebeer kits and...

Hi to all, I joined a few months ago & have been taking in all the know how I can get from this fine forum, now I will introduce myself. Brewed decades ago, all bad, fast forward to this year, now that I am retired I gave it another go. I bought the Coopers DIY kit for myself at Christmas time...
