Re: Show me Your Labels

Here is my first attempt at photoshop and first attempt at a label... I made it for the BD hellfire deep red ale kit.

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?

My mother in law got me three Brewdemon kits,

Fermenting - Hellfire Deep Red

Coming up - Ye Ode Devil Nut Brown & Wild Spirt IPA

Anyone have any tips or ideas on how I can change/add stuff to them?

Re: new to forum

With my first AG, I didn't start till almost 8 pm. When my wife noticed I was starting the brew, she asked if it was a good idea to start so late in the evening. My response was a naive, "it shouldn't take too much longer than the first brew (which was a partial mash). Well, lets say I was up w...

Re: Newb

Welcome, I'm new too. I don't want to hijack your thread, but I do have a question about the clear conical fermenter. I know you can make beer in clear fermenters, but is there a reason why Brewdemon made clear fermenters for their cider kits? Is it possible to make good cider in the tinted version?

Re: new to forum

Thanks everyone. In the future I think I will go the two LBC route. I really don't want to deal with the weight and space of a 5 gallon carboy. I'm sure I will eventually get to the point of buying my own ingredients instead of the kits, but I'm not quit confident with buying the right stuff right n...

Re: new to forum

Since it sounds like you've already got an all-grain brew under your belt and you feel that it's a lot of work I recommend that you give BIAB (Brew In A Bag) a try. It's not much harder than doing the extracts, A LOT less mess than traditional AG and you still get all the benefits of AG with being ...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. For fathers day my wife was kind enough to buy me a 1 gallon kit from Northern Brewer. The kit came with a partial mash kit, and the first batch turned out great. I quickly was thrown into the all grain world when I ordered 3 more kits and didn't no...
