New member Intro

Post by mookiex4 »

Hi all,

New member to this forum. I never used the Kits Kits before and am starting out with the Brew Demon 3 Gallon. Not a lot of time these days for the whole process of making beer.

Can't wait to get started. I have a couple of questions though.

1. Is there an IPA kit out there, which is both a quality kit and product?

2. How do I receive the 15% discounts that are mentioned on the card that came inside the Brew Demon package?

Thank all!!! :shots:

Welcome to the Borg...glad you found us here. Brew Demon's IPA kit is called Wild Spirit IPA and can be found on their website. I'm not sure of the quality as I've never had it, but give it a go and let us know how it turns out.

Hello and welcome to the site! As for Brew Demon's IPA, yep it's the Wild Spirit IPA. It's pretty good, that one along with their Shedu Oatmeal Stout are among my favorite recipes from there.

:bbwelc: Glad you found us and I hope you enjoy your new obsession, um I mean hobby! :cheers:

The Wild Spirit IPA is pretty good. I like it better when I use one of the larger 1.7 kg cans as a 2.5 gal recipe as opposed to the 2 smaller cans. Once you get a little more comfortable with what BrewDemon has to offer there are a lot of other options you can use to brew with that are still quick and easy.

Welcome to the Borg!!!! While I have not used any of their kits, I do know that the time required is not that much for these kits to brew. Best bet on doing them though is follow the instructions right up to where they tell you how long to let ferment, till you are more comfortable with brewing and have learned a bit from these great people on this forum, it is best to let it in the fermenter for 3 weeks then leave @ room temp around 70 ish for 4 weeks after you bottle for it to condition and carbonate. This hobby/obsession requires patience! Ask questions and I'm sure someone here will be able to answer! Good luck and keep us informed of your brewing!!!!

Welcome, Mookie!

And that's good advice from the Dawg. Steve knows brewing, for sure, and his timeline suggestion is spot-on. Brewing does take patience, but the end result is worth it.

Be sure to ask more questions here. We don't judge; we've all been beginners ourselves, and this place is for us to help out. Many questions are repeat questions, but since we understand that it's all new to you, we'll gladly answer them.
