I know this is a pretty old post folks, but to avoid starting a new one I would like to say that all my plants have shown this behavior, the yellowing of the bottom leaves. These are 4 first year plants. I live in San Diego towards the east, which is known to be one of the hottest areas in the...

Hey guys, It has been a while since I posted this but I wanted to let you all know that I decided to buy a kit from Brooklyn Brew Shop which came with an IPA recipe: http://brooklynbrewshop.com/1-gallon-beer-mixes/everyday-ipa-mix. The kit is missing a few things like a capper (caps is the...

Thank you @Psycotte. I had a suspicion about this but needed to ensure.

Hello, I know this depends on many factors. The beer I am making, my first batch, is an Everyday IPA: http://brooklynbrewshop.com/beer-making-kits/everyday-ipa-1-gal-kit. When I poured the wort in the carboy and connected the "blow off tube" as instructed (see...

Thank you for your input. I think what I want to do is buy this small kit, glass carboy, and give it a try. It is my first time and I should ideally get better equipment as I brew more and more. :) Do you think caps are better than those stay-on, Grolsch-style bottles?

What bottles are you referring about unionrdr?

What about these bottles instead? Yup. I can totally see that! I think I want to buy an extra 1 gallon carboy so I can do 2 batches. Small is good right now as I don't have any experience and I don't feel like making so much beer at once (yet).

I have never had that beer, but I sure want to now. This is a darn good recommendation anyway! Thanks.

Thanks! Makes it all better friend. What kind of thermometer are we talking about, the ones uses in the kitchen? Just trying to get the right kind! Gotta give it a try!

Hey guys, I have been looking around for kits but I am not satisfied with any I see 100%. I am a complete newbie but I want to use the best I can afford. I sort of like this one http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/brewing/beer-equipment-starter-kits/1-gallon-small-batch-starter-kit.html but I...

How can someone be careful about the amount if he/she has not used a certain type of sugar? It sounds like you you know the "rule of thumb." Please explain. What is the recommended amount of corn sugar per 12oz bottle, for example? What is to "put sugar in suspension"? Thank you for the...

Pretty awesome.

Hahahaha... this URL answers the question I asked Niv already! Thanks man. QUESTION: I am serious about using the best ingredients. Have you guys tried to use brown sugar instead of commercial, white (as in nutrient-deprived white) sugar? This is the sugar I use for everything around the house.

I like something between the carbonation of a Guinness and a good, hoppy IPA, if that makes sense. Smooth but a bit crispy (not Pilsner crispy; just enough to focus on flavor first).

I actually have no equipment at the moment, just getting ready to get things going for the first time! All I know is that I do not want to use plastic; I only want glass. I would like to buy the bottles that have the caps on them already. The book I am reading now suggests to get Grolsh beer and...

Hello guys, As I get ready to work on my first batch (currently studying as much as I can) I wanted to ask about something that caught my eye: over carbonation (a.k.a. exploding bottles). Even though this could/will happen to the most cautious, I wanted to see what is the best...

I like the black star one a lot: good job! :mug:

Hello everyone, It has become an obsession of mine to try as many beers as I can since I tried my first craft beer. I am here to learn how to home-brew from all of you beer Jedis! Cheers and see you around! :drunk:

Unlike a lot of users who stumbled upon your site using Google, I found out about it by searching for home brewing apps at Apple's App Store.
