Please, I know you should wait 3 weeks before you drink a bottled homebrew. Buuuuttt. I never do. I always have one @ a week and almost always dive right in to the rest by week two. Never an issue. I recently brewed what I am calling Febtoberfest, but its a AIH Octoberfest...

Today for the first time ever I brewed, and after wort chill and a kettle clean I brewed again. After the infection I had I need to play catch-up. Although my feet are sore, went off without a hitch.:rockin:

I brewed a beer a while back. Just a pale ale if I remember. Primary into secondary, into keg. After it was in the keg I was unhappy with the bitterness so I dry hopped it with 2 oz of an unknown hop. Crystal I think. Anyway after a day, I tryed beer and it was turning grassy so I panicked...

Well it happened to me. My first, second and maybe my third infection. The first was a Mr Beer can of pre-hopped extract a coworker gave me to brew for him. He heard I brewed and seemed interested. His wife got word of his interest and bought him a Mr Beer kit with 2 beers. He "brewed" one and...

My ground water is north of 80' so the 25 foot immersion isnt doing crap. Will a 25' counter flow work to bring the wort down to less than 100? An hour to mash an hour to boil and an hour to cool is getting old.

Yesterday I brewed my first BIAB and my first all grain, and my first all grain I crushed myself and the first time I used my carona (knockoff) mill. A whole lotta firsts. I hope all the firsts dont add up to a whole latta crap'ola. I live in a remote area (an Island) and getting ingredients...

Well I couldn't wait any longer. I tried one of my first ever home brewed beers. Two actually! NOT TOO BAD! If I say so myself. It wont win any awards I don't think but for my first ever attempt I think it is just fine and will only get better since its only been in bottles for 7 days. I felt...
