What is the easiest (and cheapest) way to home-brew beer?

posted on in home brew

I’m looking to start a small scale home-brewery and don’t really feel like following the generic "Brew It At Home" kits. Looking for some originality. Any tips or hints (possibly a step by step process) would be awesome. Thanks.

After buying the Mr. Beer kit and brewing 2-3 batches (and ruining 1) I bought a couple of books, Home Brewing for Dummies, and another book whose name escapes my memory. Both good sources with references to other books and websites. My advice would be to go to your local bookstore (the bigger the better) and find/ask for the home brewing section and start reading, you will be amazed at the initial cash outlay just to get started with a small, basic home brewing set-up, so research it first, before you buy.

What is a good home brew psp game that I can download for free?

posted on February 6, 2010 in home brew

I know where to get free home brew psp games but none stick out as something that could keep me entertained for more than 30 minutes. What is a home brew psp game that is actually worth playing?

Depends on what you like. If card games are your style, there’s Wagic, which is basically Magic: The Gathering vs a bot player, although the card images may need to be downloaded separately. For action/platformer games there’s also a port of Super Mario War, which basically involves a bunch of 8/16-bit sprites on Mario-esque maps killing each other Mario-style.

I brew beer so I am after the affects of Air and CO2?

posted on in how to brew beer

When the beer is fermenting CO2 is given off and protects the beer from oxydizing. My question is to a chemical engineer. If I introduce into a container 50% air and 50% CO2 would the CO2 sink to the bottom or would air/oxygen come in contact with the bottom of the container. In my case that would be the surface of the beer causing oxydizing.

If I introduce into a container 50% air and 50% CO2 would the CO2 sink to the bottom ? The answer is NO. The gases mix by diffusion, in the same way you don’t suffocate if you lay on the floor at sea level as the denser CO2 doesn’t sink and separate out.

What is your favorite home brew beer recipe?

posted on February 1, 2010 in how to brew beer

I like ales and stouts…what are some good ones?

ah, there’s too many that are good. I like specialty beers probably the most. I make a blueberry pale ale, a raspberry wheat, a pumpkin ale, a ginger IPA, a green tea wheat, a molasses porter. All of them are excellent, but then the non-specialty beers I make I really like as well. Mostly ales, but have made a few lagers that turned out really good. I have an oatmeal stout and a german style pilsner on tap at the moment. I have a chipotle smoked strong ale I need to bottle and see how its turned out. I used some smoked grains, and then chipotles (smoked jalepenos). I’m looking forward to that one.

I just get inspired when I’m playing with my grain to mix whatever I think will end up pretty good. This usually turns out pretty good.

Cheers!
