Getting it ready for fermentation took several hours. Totally worth it.

For those interested in getting started in making your own beer check out this site:
http://www.homebrewers.com/category/aardvarks/

They offer starter kits. Good for beginners.
Their are a few other sites that also offer starter kits and pre-packaged ingredients.
Google will lead you to them.

I would say Midwest is a better supplier. However, northern brewer has decent hop prices.

Check this out! This is the best(free) resource for beginners on the internet!

If you have any homebrew questions just let me know. Also, with those kits you will need a large canning pot or turkey fryer or if you have the $$ then a Megapot.

BOY GENIUS

Starter kits are nice but if you get hooked your ganna buy alotta stuff extra....I'm brewing a recipe of my own tonight called " liquid shit" the names an inside joke it's a brown ale

I love Northern Brewer, gets to me in four days. and cheap shipping.

Got an Oktoberfest, and an American Wheat fermenting. Drinking a fresh brewed Bavarian hefeweizen right now. I think the hefe is the favorite of the year.

That some good beer right there

feels good to be self sufficient doesn't it

I have a fermentors supply just down the road I love comming up with my own recipes and tryin them.....some have tasted like pure shit lol it's all about trial and error

I miss brewing beer. I need to get to my ex-wife place to get the rest of my equipment. I wouldn't mind starting a new batch of Belgium. That's my favorite any way.

Same man. You do the mashing yourself?

I love Belgium. Ha it's so funny you say that. Cuz now I happen to be drinking a Leffe Blonde - Belgian ale. Not my recipe I cheated and went to the packie for this one.

I got some blackberry wine going this summer. Should be good - always has been in the past.
I think I'm going to try some beer this winter.

I'm trying mead in a couple weeks. Should be ready by spring...

Nothing quite like growing and brewing your very own party!

Ya. Actually it's a partial mash. But its a damn good recipe. My fuck it will get you sum drunk! 7% I believe it finishes. It's been a while since I made...

It's good stuff. I Like that nice warm fuzzy glow it leaves in the stomach. I can put some beer away(or so my girlfriend likes to remind me.) But my fuck! I can barley get through a six pack of Belgium.
