I am missing so much, brewed last year with the Mr. Beer and it was a pain. Hard to clean, hard to get good beers!! Anyways, I will be buying a start up kit this year. Sad to say but I have never had a good home brew.

I bought the ingredient from a local home brew store and it is there "red ale". Since I am new at this I cant tell you the difference between a red ale or an Irish red ale. The ingredients included a whirlfloc tablet, which I added... does that make it a Irish red ale?

Nope, whirlfloc is a fining agent (makes the beer clear).

Here's an entire brewday, and dryhopping 13 days later.
 
I have a dunkelweizen that is just ready to drink, and a bourbon barrel ale that is in the secondary. Still real basic stuff, but I'm having fun.

That's all that matters, isn't it? :thumbs:

Just kegged my Christmas Ale. It's a lightly spiced, copper colored, malty delight. Well, the sample was, anyway.

Bourbon Vanilla Porter is coming into it's own. There's still a bit of an edge to it that I'd like to smooth out. It should be ready in a few weeks.

I just got a grain mill, so I'm scoping out my next brew. Unfortunately, it's going to have to wait until January. There's too much going on around here until then.
 
Just did a double batch today. Lots of work. Moose Drool clone and a...











wait for it...













A Belgian. I am gonna call it Captain Jack's Juice after my buddy's kid who "helped" me brew it (he's like, 1 years old). Should be an interesting first belgian. Gonna rack it onto some apricot puree in secondary in a few weeks.

Make sure you don't overcarb that beer. Sippy cups don't handle too much pressure and I'd hate to see the lad lose his share.

so all i have to do now is wire up a power supply
