Howdy, folks!
1. How long have you been brewing?I have only brewed beer once. It was about 8 years ago. I still have all the equipment. A buddy of mine has recently shown an interest in brewing beer, and now I'm getting the itch to try it again.
2. What is your favorite beer style?Wheat, Pale Ale, and Stout. I also love unfiltered and bottle-conditioned beer.
3. Where are you from?Champaign County, Ohio. It's north of Dayton and West of Columbus.
I've been home brewing for about eight years now and enjoying drinking beer that I can taste instead of having commercial beers slide down the gullet with not much flavor at all. All eight years have been spent using beer kits from the local brew stores. I guess I have been reluctant to try a recipe creation of my own. My favorite beer style is the Brown Ales. I've been reading a book of brown ale history and would like to try a recipe creation of my own soon. I ahve been using 22 oz. bottles for the simple reason of pouring a taller glass of brew to enjoy longer. My next step is kegging. I have two three gallon kegs and one 5 gallon keg that need to be filled as yet though. If any one can suggest a few points on the kegging technique I would be grateful. Any kind of advice and information in reference to creating a beer recipe would be welcome too.

Hi,
I'm new to brewingKB today. I have been brewing for. . . geez, can it be 15 years? Thereabouts, anyway. I brewed mostly kits at first, then moved into all grain and had a ball creating and attempting to re-create the good ones. Then I got really busy in other aspects of life and didn't have time for all-grain, so I've been back to kits the last 2 or 3 years. I have made some mead, but my husband likes mead and I don't care for it all that much, so we have a bunch to drink up before we make more. And we've dabbled in fruit wines from local fruits including huckleberry, sour cherry, and apple (variously flavored with other fruits).
My favorite beer to drink is IPA, but I like to brew brown ales. Summer beer is a light honey ale (from Papazian).
I'm from Montana, but I currently live in Idaho.
Nice talkin to you.

Hi,
I just started brewing last spring I have done 2 batches so far a Brewers Best english brown ale kit which was not to bad and Wit kit I modified for myself which was great I used key lime instead of orange peel. I happened to get into this by accident I went to a rummage sale and found a beginners equipment set complete minus Ingredients for 5 bucks .
I am in Indiana in a rural community where there arent many homebrewers so I generally search forums like tis for Ideas.
Cheers, Steve
I started with a Mr. Beer kit 8 years ago while a junior in college, moved to extract, then partial mash, then all-grain in about a year, haven't turned back.
I prefer brewing kolsch and lagers, and have perfected quite a few lager styles.
I'm from Ft. Collins, Colorado, a mecca for microbrewing.
Well, Hello! I am new to this site, new to brewing and really very excited about it all!
I was talking with a friend at work who has been making wine for several years...I have always loved really good beer and wine (nothing in aluminum nor with a twist cap)...but always thought such exacting alchemy was out of reach! Not so, I was to learn. My friend lent me his equipment and we fermented up a batch of Syrah...from a kit. My wife had shared a bottle of Yellow Tail with her mother and gave it rave reviews. So a month or so later, we sampled my first batch and my (our) eyes were opened! Suddenly I saw the possibilities!
I am also an amateur chef and love crafting menus with specific wines in mind...but the thought of reducing an entire bottle of merlot for a red sauce or creating a bisque with half a bottle of chard always gave me pause! Such wonderful wines should be shared with good company! Well now the barriers are lifted and the restraints are gone.
Several great entres later and the syrah is but a memory...we have sipped our way through nearly half a kit of chilean chard (gave away several bottles too), and I now have 6 gallons of Grand Junction, CO cabernet bulk aging along side a kit merlot steeped in the cabernet skins and another 5 gallons of zin on deck to see us through until the cab and merlot are ready next year!
I am excited in deed!
welcome to the board guys.

Hi,
I'm new here and I found you by searching for Home Brew.
I do not have any experience and I want to learn a few things.
I'm from the USA.
I don't really have a favorite brew, but when I went to the micro
brew tent at the Bonnaroo music festival in Manchester Tn, I did find
the darkest colors to be in my favorites. It had the same color as
Coca Cola. Very dark. My taste buds change regularly.
