Mr.Beer It’s a blast to make and it’s easy. I also got one for my kids called Mr.Rootbeer that is also a blast to make! So I would recommend anything along those lines.
HELP! What is the best at-home beer brewing kit for under $200?
My husband is turning 30. He has always wanted to brew his own beer using his recipes and unique ingredients. He has never brewed beer before and I think this would be an AMAZING gift to start off his 30s right! There are many on the internet and all seem to get pretty good reviews. Any recommendations? THANK YOU!
Yes it is ok to use 2 cans. Personally I use one can and add some malt extract and sugar. Also you can just use two cans depending on the syle it can be a little bit bitter – but for draft you can be fine.
PS – Dont listen to all these guys who say that making beer with ‘custom kits’ is going to be better. Stick with what you are comfortable with – those kits where you boil in hops and specialty grains can make good beer – but the pre hopped kits can make good beer as well. All a matter of preference and how much effort you wanna put into it.
Cheers
Home brewing “beer” HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!?
Hi I;ve been home brewing for for all of a month and its time to make my next brew, i found some cheap Farm Land Draught “yes the cheap and nasty” just to try something different to coopers, Anyways I brought 2 cans, then looked up reviews on this stuff and seems to not be to bad but people seem to be putting 2 kit cans in 1 go ???? and filling to 24ltrs, whats the deal? with if you use 2 or 1 can is there much of a difference? because it just says on the can to use 1 per 23 ltrs and 1kg of sugar and blah blah blah. but everyone on this site seems to be adding 2 cans ??? here is the site below

Should i just use 1 can? or will it be tasteless and poor? or should i use 2 cans and 2kg of sugar. cheers WHAT WOULD YOU DO!
A letter to Alcohol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Alcohol,
First & foremost, let me tell you that I’m a huge fan of yours. As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer at the game, and you’re even around in the holidays, hidden inside chocolates as you warm us when we’re stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings. However, lately I’ve been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences:
1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those ex-boyfriends/girlfriends when I know for a fact they do not want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night?
2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you suggest that I eat a kebab, a butter chicken curry along with a sausage with cheese, onion and mustard (washed down with WINE & topped off with a Kit Kat after a few sweet chilli and sour cream red rock chips)? I’m an eclectic eater, but I think you went too far this time.
3. Clumsiness: Unless you’re subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to fall down. It’s completely unnecessary, and the black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key into the lock.
4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for our previous evening’s debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that, if the proper precautions are taken (water, Vitamin B, bread products, aspirin) prior to going to sleep/passing out face down on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal & in no way Interfere with my daily activities.
Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now & would like to ensure that we remain on good terms. You’ve been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don’t know what to do with the extra money in my pockets.
In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above & address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Friday 3pm (pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions & hopefully we can continue this fruitful partnership.
Thank you,
Your biggest fan
Fantastic ha ha

I actually got stopped one time under suspicion of driving a car reported stolen. I handed the officer my license and told him I had to get the “regishtration” out of the glove compartment. His mind must have been elsewhere, because he checked out the VIN and sent me on my way with an apology!.

I’m an eclectic eater, but I think you went too far this time.
