i ended up buying the sierra madre instead of Chinook. i have one kit at home and these three on the way also had to get some yeast for the kit i have at home because i stole it for my last batch. before i brew i also got get a new hose for my wort chiller, I stole one of them for the washer in the old house
Got this kit ordered, though it is coming from Amazon. I ordered it this morning, Amazon doesn't have a very good description but I ordered it anyway. Kinda had some buyers remorse after clicking the place order button. So I went searching to try and find more info on the company selling it, turns out they are a pretty good company. And after reading the recipe I'm pretty excited to brew it. Should be a good summer beer.
Looks good!
I really need to start brewing again now that the house is pretty much done.
Getting sick of paying $20 for a 30 pack of PBR or Coors light, and $10 or more for a sixer of good beer.
It was always a good time brewing with you and/or Matt, miss that.
Brewed that kit today. Good one to start back up with. Only the 60 min hops, 10 minute and dry hops and an easy malt addition. Had a little boil over but not too bad.
Damn, I miss brewing. Always some other crap coming up that keeps me from having any time. Did most of our landscaping, that's still an ongoing project. Did the electrical on the house a friend is building, 179 hours so far to get ready for drywall, now trying to clean and fix the camper so we can get rid of it. And shopping for something nicer than a 22 year old jeep for Cindy.
I need to buy a new turkey fryer, make a wort chiller, and order some kits, then I'm sure I'd find some time
It turned out ok. Drinkable, a little too hoppy without the malt to back it up. I think it is missing the steeping grains northern brewer used to have. That probably would have boosted the flavor a little bit.
What you talkin' about, nobody's posted in the Important thread today.
I ordered three of the $23 kits, and my favorite Czech pilsner kit, plus some yeast, extra hops and LME.
Ordered a new turkey fryer since I left the old one at my buddy Matt's, and he lent it to his neighbor that started brewing. I need to go through my stuff, see what else I need. I have the stuff to make a new super wort chiller, pretty sure I have most of the other little stuff.
