Hey, Chris! Nice labels. Beer really is a living thing. I've had brews that came together in as little as four weeks and some that took much, much longer. Do you think a complete noob may benefit from starting out with a kit?
I still think your Japanese Monster labels are the best. Can I get you to put your graphic design experience to good use and make couple non-monster labels for me?
...too malty....

I think kits are the way to go for noobs. You have no idea what you're doing when you first start out, you just know that you gotta keep everything clean and follow what the directions say.
1 year later and you're debating at whether or not to mash at that temperature because you would primarily be working with your beta amalyse enzymes which could hurt attenuation though giving you more body.

Next thing you know your doing double decoctions and stressing over if you had enough of a protein rest or not.
Congratulations on the homebrew shop gig, don't spend too much abusing your discount.

10 years from now you will have realized that you can still make great beer from extracts and will go the easy route more often.

You know, I thought about trying another extract. It's been a long time since I've done one. Now that I have my yeast pitching rate right (I wash my yeast and use a stir plate) and my fermentation temperature controlled, I bet I could turn out a pretty good extract beer.
Though it's not as much fun as all grain. To be honest, I never felt like I was brewing untill I went all grain.

Bottled my Bavarian Heffeweisen last night. Sampled a bit of it and it had a nice clove and banana taste but missing the citrus note I was hoping for, came in at 5.4 ABV. Might need to try a different hop from Sterling next time. Will see once its done bottle conditioning.

hey guys does anyone still homebrew here? I picked this hobby up about 6 months ago when we passed a random local homebrew store... The guy there is really knowledgable and we pretty much just tell him what kind of beer we are trying to make and he throws it together... The last brew i made was a blue moon clone... didnt really get the results I was looking for but its getting much better with age...
Is homebrew still a topic up for discussion here?
