Today I brewed a Kolschbier By that description, makes me want to have one of those right now :) I use to get a lot of stuff from Midwest, but now tend to go to more beer more. Prices are usually better and super fast free shipping if the order is more then $59 and not hard to do. Check them out so...

I bottled the Fresh Squished IPA, ahh it smelled good. Give it a few weeks and we'll be drinking it. Today I brewed a Kolschbier, another 5G Extract recipe from Midwest Supplies. From their website and instructions: This pale, light-bodied golden ale is copyrighted by, brewed in, and named for the G...

Wow, those all sound good. I brewed a Fresh Squished IPA from Midwest Supplies today. It's a 5G Extract w/steeping grains recipe. I've made it several times and is pretty much a family favorite. I've read from you guys about having two hydrometers 'cause one by itself will commit suicide when you le...

Hello All. I'm looking at replacing my plastic 6.5G fermenter buckets. I've had/used them for several years now. They've got stains of course, but after cleaning them from the last fermenting/bottling I did last weekend, I'm now noticing some deep scratches too. They're still working good I guess, w...

This morning I brewed a Root Beer Stout. It's a 5G Extract w/steeping grains recipe from Hop Hero. Due to the lack of a non-fermentable sweetener that the other Root Beer Stout recipes that i've made have included, I don't think this one will be as sweet but I'm sure it'll taste good. Especially ove...

That's a nice picture of your beer recipe via a recipe app. Interesting. Which app is it and how well do you like it? I Brewed another Irish Red Ale this morning. It's a 5G Extract w/steeping grains recipe from Midwest Supplies. The house sure smells good. My wife even made a comment about it, after...

I Brewed a Dry Irish Stout this morning. It's a 5G Extract w/steeping grains recipe from Midwest Supplies. Looked and smelled like a stout, so it ought to be pretty good. Since I've been checking the gravity, original and final, it's interesting how sometimes I'll get the suggested/recommended O.G....

This morning I brewed an Nut Brown Ale 5G Extract w/steeping grains recipe from Midwest Supplies / Northern Brewer. I've brewed a few Brown Ales before, but not this recipe. But I imagine it'll be as good as the others. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0263/3436/3722/products/J06_2_1400x.jpg?v=160...

This morning I brewed an Irish Red Ale 5G Extract w/steeping grains recipe from Midwest Supplies. I've brewed a few Red Ales before, but not this recipe. I also used Nottingham dry yeast with it. The recipe/procedure was simple enough, even though my timer died on me with about 20 minutes left. :( S...
