In Maine we have some good stuff from Baxter brewing in cans, especially their Stowaway IPA. Not sure if you can get it in your neck of the woods though....

My buddies and I did an all grain batch, an extract batch, bottled a 5 gallon batch of beer and a 5 gallon batch of wine in an afternoon pretty comfortably. That was with three of us working on it.

Harpoon IPA! And it remains a favorite to this day.

I have a friend who swears he is allergic to hops because he sneezes when he drinks beer, especially IPAs. Not sure if it is a real allergy for him or just coincidence. It doesn't seem to slow him down too much though....

The Pale Ale and American IPA are both good standard beers to have. Also, isn't Brazil somewhat overrun by BMC type beers? Maybe something like a Kolsch/cream ale would be good to spark some interest from locals. Good luck!

Seeing as you've got them in a rubbermaid in a closet and there isn't much you can do about it now, I wouldn't worry about it. Just be prepared for what may happen when you open them. (My buddy redecorated his kitchen with an over-carbed hefeweizen last night... That was fun to watch.)

Hopville's beer calculus works well, and you can't beat the price. (free!)

You could always find some friends to drink with...

Between what I and my brewing-buddies have brewed lately, I think I've only had three store bought beers in the past 4 months... Pretty cool when you think about it. I think the motivation to let beer age and get to its full potential keeps me from drinking so much. Quality over quantity...

All these suggestions are great. Hopefully I'll get around to brewing this week[end]. I'll update with what I finally decide to brew! Bird

I wish! I'm expecting a pretty average crowd of beer consumers, thus keeping it simple. I leaned a little towards hefeweizen or witbier since I know many people who are tuned off by strong hop flavors, however a well balanced amber/red could be good options as well. BrightSpot, I'll send...

What would it be? I have a couple friends getting married this May and they are doing all homebrew for their reception. Thus, a friend and I are each brewing a 5 gallon batch for them as gifts. The other batch of beer is a pretty standard Hefeweizen, and I am looking for...

That is the way to do it. Last beer tasting night I had netted me 16 bombers and a few others. And lots of tasty beer. :rockin:

Hefeweizen or a good IPA are both excellent summer beers. I'm thinking I'll be brewing both shortly in preparation for the warm months.

I didn't know people didn't know about PBR! It is a way of life up here. Though to be fair, they have no advertising campaign that I have ever seen. Bird

I don't necessarily publicize my affinity for PBR, but especially for enjoying in the outdoors it can't be beat. It is best when consumed near freezing during a day of backcountry skiing...

Hey All. Finally joined after lurking about this forum for a while. I've got to say this is one of the best collections of homebrewing knowledge I've found. Anyway, my buddy and I have been brewing since the new year and between the two of us have brewed a Stout from extract and an IPA...
