Brewing your own beer

[rookie]

How come I don't see coors in the "clone kit"

Or bud light or PBR...

[rappyfreak]

Here's the kit I'd buy. That should last you for years to come. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/index.php?cPath=178_452
If you want to do a couple of beers at the same time you could simply buy another primary fermet bucket.

If you looking for beers reciepe kits, take a look here. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/index.php?cPath=178_452

If you have a micro brew that you like they have clone kits. IE, if you like Blue Moon, they have a reciepe that tastes just like it. Look here: http://www.austinhomebrew.com/index.php?cPath=178_452_43

The first link just sends me to the beer kits as well. What extract beer kits are you buying?

If you look under the beer brewing equipment, the 130 dollar kit is perfect.

When it comes down to buying actual beer kits its totally up to you. What kind of beers do you drink?

Thanks Shawn, guess I'm pretty good with the one I bought I think, maybe just get a Better Bottle 5 gallon plastic carboy as a secondary with stopper and airlock as I have to mind weight and not volume with the company I ship my stuff with. Aside from that I'm guessing I would need the autosiphon with about 6ft of food grade vinyl hose to be able to move to secondary and to bottle right?

With beers I like them pretty strong, tried an OPA wheat beer in Brazil that was absolutely amazing, love stouts as well so pretty well bodied beers more likely. Was looking over at IPA from Brewer's Best, Austin and Cooper's. Try any of these?

You should be good to go with that kit. With a brew pot you going to want something that around 4 gallons. You usually brew about 2.5 gallons and when finished you add that to the secondary and add water to hit your origional gravity which is usually around 5-5.5 gallons.

When you buy a kit it should come with a siphon, so you shold be good to go.

If you like a stonger beer I would suggest going to the store and grabbing a 6'er of IPA, a Stout, and a Pale Ale and see what you like. I'm a REALLY REALLY big fan of Ranger IPA. Just up on AutinsHomeBrew and grab a clone kit of the commercial beer you like and go from there.

If I were to head to a buddys house for some beers and I had to buy something to take along I always buy Siera Nevada Pale Ale. That is my go to beer. VERY drinkable and pretty strong too bootl

The origional design was ment to wrap around my weinus  couple of times, but that warmed up the beer too much.

for some strange reason, your original design does not interest me anywhere near as much as the one colorado found...........

I used your thread to inspire a buddy of mine to get started brewing his own... we will see how he does
