home brewing

I'm doing the 2-2-2 process that I've read about (http://www.mrbeerfans.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.MrBeerFAQ). 2 weeks fermenting, then 2 weeks of carbing, then 2 weeks of cold conditioning.

I'll be bottling it up this Sunday and starting the carbing process.

I'll try the same thing. Have you even tasted it yet as they say to do in the directions to see if its ready? I'm saving up glass bottles to use instead of those plastic one that come in the kit. My buddy ownes a company that makes and prints lables and said if its good he will make me up a fancy lables to put on the bottles.

I haven't tasted it yet, I was going to wait til the end of this week right before I bottle.

You guys are tempting me into this. I love making things. Beer would probably be no different.

It was actually pretty easy and most of the work is cleaning everting really good before you make the brew. Why not wait to see how our brew come out before you buy a kit.

I look forward to hearing your stories. I think I will buy one after I graduate.

That's my plan...plus I want to know what to make. I like certain types of beer and dislike most others. I'd hate to make something I don't like right off the bat.

It's fun and easy, give it shot. If you don't like the beer that comes with the kits they have a pretty wide selection of refills you can buy, from stouts to IPA's to american style lagers.

I would think that we are going to have and try different typs to see what we do and do not like. With this thread we can post our results and compare what we made to something that is on the market so people can get an idea of what they might like or dislike. I'm not a dark ail person but my first brew is an ail that came with the kit. I have plenty of friend who enjoy a good ail so it should not go to waist. I'm saving all my bottles that have screw on caps that I can use.

Anybody done? I'd like to try this too. Hey, something to do right?

Everytime i see a Sam Adams Commercial it makes me want to pack up move to Boston (or whereever it's brewed) and get a job making beer. Everybody can dream right?
