I'd say my average is about 1 per night. It's probably either 0 or 2 for me. Lately if I drink one, I also have a second. If there's a football game on, that number could go up. :)

Sounds delish!!

Being a self employed computer tech with a garage full of a computer graveyard, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to come up with some parts for a good stir plate. :D

This is exactly why I started this thread. You guys have given me some excellent things to think about. I'll try to respond to all of the things I've seen. Sorry if I miss you.. I have a pretty good source for gently used kegging equipment and that's actually what prompted this post. Before I...

Currently I have a 5 gallon fermenting bucket, a 5 gallon bottling bucket, a 5 gallon glass carboy, standard bottling equipment (nothing fancy), a 7 gallon brew pot, thermometer, hydrometer, etc. The budget thing is a little bit tricky. It depends on how good business is in the next few...

As the title suggests, this is another "What do I do now?" posts from a noob. :) I've now completed 4 batches and all 4 have turned out wonderfully. My first batch was a Brewer's Best kit and my last 3 have all been kits put together by my LHBS. I'm ready to start experimenting a little, but...

My Scottish Ale :)

Gentlemen, After reading on amazingribs.com, I decided NOT to do the beer can thing and instead followed their smoking recipe including using their "Simon & Garfunkel" rub. I got RAVE reviews! Thanks for the tip! Rick

That site looks good, I'll check it out! Brettomomyces, that's exactly what I was thinking, but I wanted to get a more educated opinion than just my gut feeling. Thanks everyone!

Hello! In the past, I have used the "beer can" technique to smoke turkeys for thanksgiving. My typical method is to buy a large (wide) can of beer, pour off several oz out of the can and put in seasonings. Then I put the turkey over the can and smoke it low and slow. I always get high praise...

I say ditto to the cream ale idea. I just bottled my first cream ale and can't wait to try it. There's a local brewery here that makes a cream ale that is my favorite microbrew so I thought that would be a great place to start! Judging by how you describe your taste, I think you'd like it. Rick

Hello! I'm from Pendleton, IN and I'm new to home brewing. My first batch is fermenting as we speak. After spending years thinking I didn't like beer, I tried some local craft brews and was stunned at the difference! I have been looking for a new hobby and this looked interesting so I...

Yay! Consensus! :) Thanks for your help! I will wait for awhile before I do anything. Thanks! Rick

Uh oh.. conflicting advice. I was hoping this was an open and shut "obviously you need to do this" kind of scenario. Now I'm back to doubting what I should do again. :(

The recipe suggested it, that's why I did it. I'll get right to bottling! Thanks!

Hello! This is my first post and I'm in the process of making my first beer. I purchased a Brewer's Best Deluxe kit and a Brewer's Best American Cream Ale ingredient kit. My plan was to do a two-stage fermentation. I had activity in my airlock earlier than I expected and thought everything...
