So I had two batches of flat beer. The first time I thought I might have messed something up and it was just me. Out of my 36 EZ Caps I only had about 8-12 that had carbonation. Neddless to say I was not too happy. Well I went with an all grain for my next batch and thought I would try again...

So I brewed up a batch of the Midwest Black Dog Ale and I followed the directions to the T! Now its been in the bottles for 2 weeks and one day. Brand new blue ez cap bottles I might add. Not even the slightest bit of carbonation, no POP, nothing. Beer tasted good just flat. I gave each bottle a...

So I have had my brew (Midwest Honey Porter) finished and in the bottles for a few weeks now and last week it was pretty good and tasty but still had a bit of an alcohol taste to it. Well I waited another week in the bottle and had one last night and it was super strong. The OG was 1.058 and FG...

Ok so my kit is on the truck for delivery and well you know I am getting impatient and ready to start making beer. So my question is since Coopers kits only have one bucket, I guess just the primary, so how long should I let my wort ferment? This was my original plan: 2 weeks in the primary...

So in talking to my friend at work and telling him about my new Coopers home brew kit he was saying that I should add licorice to a batch of beer to make it taste like jagermeister. He knows I am a fan of jagermeister and it got me to thinking that it was a good idea. Has anyone else tried this...
