I used the clone kit from midwest supplies. Below is a screenshot of the ingredients used.

Today marks two weeks since I bottled my Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone. I chilled, and tested. I bought actual Sierra Nevada to compare it to, and though it is missing some of the hoppyness and bitterness I expected, it is still a marked improvement from my first attempt at brewing:rockin:. It...

Doing a Bavarian Hef for a friend. She received the kit as a gift from one our friends, but doesn't have the equipment to brew. Free beer for me, a chance to practice brewing, breaking in the new gas burner and wort chiller. I'd say this is a win, win! I will also be bottling my IPA today...

Hello All - New brewer here! I received a 5 gallon extract starter kit as a gift for Christmas this year. I have always been interested brewing but never made the investment. i currently have my first beer in bottles (a hef) and test them the other day. Tasted pretty good but could probably...
