Ya hey from Sheboygan, WI

[Phipcice]

Hello from Sheboygan!! I bought my Dad a brewing kit and Brewers Best Falconers Flight Extra IPA for retirement. We brewed it up and it turned out incredible!! I attribute success to having an experienced brewer/co-worker with us while we followed the process. If you know anyone with experience I highly recommend asking them to supervise your first brew. Biggest takeaway from first brew? When in doubt - sanitize..

Enjoyed brewing with my Dad so much I went ahead and bought myself the same kit. Just transferred my first solo batch (Brewers Best - Imperial Pale Ale) to car-boy secondary for some clarification, plan to bottle next weekend. Hope to have a batch ready to celebrate another Packer Super Bowl win!!

Anyone have any thoughts on how/if bottle size impacts quality/taste of beer? Aging looking to bottle my first solo batch next weekend. Local brew shop has 12-16oz and 20-22oz bottles. I'm leaning towards the larger for no other reason than to simplify process..

Welcome and +1 to doing first brew with a mentor of sorts. I grew up in Neenah and Appleton but moved away long ago. The local Flying Saucer has a menu item called the Sheboygan Side-by-side. Couple brats on a bun with kraut. Hard to find good brats in Charlotte.

I haven't noticed any difference in bottle size for my beer. I use 500ml PET bottles, and 12oz and 22oz amber glass bottles. I only use a couple 12oz bottles for early sampling.

Hey dere from Madison. Enjoy the hobby! I wish my Dad had any interest in brewing (or consuming for that matter).

Welcome from down by Kenosha.
Should be up your way a couple time to hit Road A this summer, both racing and spectating.

Dang it ! They had good food:. Oh well just have to find another spot. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers

Oostberg is just down the road, in fact Judy's is right of the next exit south of V now, so no need to worry.
