hi there I came up with a decent recipe to use with the pilsner. Take the kit and add a 1oz bag of hallertauer hops, one 375 gram bag of brew enhancer and a jar of maraschino cherries juice and all. cook the hops and enhancer for then minutes add the rest and ferment and bottle. Delicious Oh I will...

Congratulations!

Oh ya most definitely!! I have my pipeline set so every week I have another ready to drink.

Been a long time coming but worth the wait!!! It’s my first beer, a Pilsner but it was awesome!!

racking to a 2ndary means transferring the beer from the primary fermentor to a second fermentor. back in the day this was SOP b/c of fears about autolysis (off-flavors from decaying yeast) and the belief it produced clearer beer but is no longer standard practice unless you're making a fruit beer ...

What is racking to a secondary?

I'll add, opening the lid to stir will introduce oxygen into your (fermenting/fermented) beer which is undesirable. Don't use visible krausen (foam) or bubbles in an airlock as proof of fermentation occurring. If you have some trub settling at the bottom of your fermenter, you're in good shape. It'...

Thank you to all, I’m3 weeks out from cracking my first one open but I will keep you updated.

Thank you, I have been stressing over it cause I’m on my 3rd recipe and just bottled my first one Sunday but the other 2 don’t seem to be as active. I’m thinking it will be fine it just got me wondering.

Do I need to stir during the fermentation process?

XX but their salt and lime is my favorite just couldn’t find any tonight. I would love to brew something close to it just trying to find a good recipe.

Good evening, long time drinker first time brewer. I just got the brew demon kit and am excited to start brewing my own. I’m excited to learn from all you so I’m going to read these posts but any additional tips or tricks to make the best beer I can is always appreciated!!
Thanks in advance
