Saturday November 5th 2011 is National Learn to Homebrew Day

I love homebrew. Over the past 10 years or so, I have made some extremely good beers and some really not so good ones. My beer that is up next and ready to be tapped today, is my Cherry Wheat Ale. I am really excited as I had never done a fruit flavored beer before. My other beer that is coming out on Monday is a Honey Oatmeal Stout. I wanted it this week for National Stout Day but from looks of carboy, could use another week. Good suds to all my fellow homebrewers!

So thanks to a screw up with amazon.com and UPS I scored myself a free Mr. Beer brewing system.

Any of the home brewers here have any advice for a first timer?

All depends on what kind of beer you like. The Mr. Beer system is very basic and easy. Each batch has its own instructions. The most important thing, and this goes for any home brew system, is to maintain sanitary conditions. Make sure you mix thoroughly and that you pitch your yeast at the right temp. Wait the 2 weeks for fermentation. Other than that, just follow their instructions and good luck.

Founders ~ Breakfast Stout; This is to me, what an imperial stout should taste like. It tastes like a liquid chocolate cake & coffee.

That is my all time favorite beer. I wish it was distributed in Tennessee.
