Welcome aboard! You came to the right place.
If I can make one suggestion to start, it is to be patient. If I remember correctly, most hopped extract kits recommend a quick ferment of a week or two. I usually let mine ferment three weeks. Good luck, have fun, keep us posted.

Hey there! I just started making a blueberry cider! Super excited! I am from Wisconsin originally, but live in Minnesota. It kind of sucks because I am a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!!!! Super excited for this yummy cider! It is my first go with the Brewdemon kit!!!! I saw there have been some website issues, is there still a code to use for brewdemon.com ?

I have been brewing for about 1 year, so far using extracts, will try grains eventually.

Hi, I guess I'm a little late to the party. But what the heck. Years ago I was given (as a gag) a Beer in a Bag. This was the type you added warm water. Let it sit for weeks. Then do a couple things, then drink it. It actually turned out OK. But, life has a way of screwing up. So I never pursued Home Brewing. Recently I aquired a friends brew equipment. Decided I would give it a try. As I searched for things to use I found Brew Demon and went that direction instead. (other brewing items may end up for sale)
I went with a 2 gallon conical brew system, and this week will start the first batch. I've read up on things, a lot on this forum. Wish me luck. Glad to be here!!!

I also wanted to find out about the discount at Brewdemon.



Thanks

I am brand new to brewing. My fist batch just went into bottles to carbonate today. I got a kit from BrewDemon for a birthday gift. Now I’m looking for the “how to receive [ 15%] discount.”

Welcome. If you go to page one of this thread, the first posting in the thread explains hors to get the discount.

Have fun brewing and feel fres to share your recipes with us and feel fres to ask whatever questions you have along the way. There ate some very experienced and advanced brewers here. Unlike some places, even the most advanced brewers here remember what it's like to be new and inexperienced.
