How long do kits stay fresh - Northern Brewer General
2015年4月23日 · Thinking about taking advantage of the free shipping offer NB has going on today, but wanted to know if it’s worth it. If I order three kits, assuming I refrigerate the yeast, will all three be OK? Specifically the 2nd and 3rd recipes–since it’ll be a few weeks till I can brew the 2nd one, and even longer on the last. I am assuming the extracts should be fine, but what …
Shelf Life of Extract Kits - Northern Brewer Forum
2014年3月20日 · I had a number of harsh batches…and I blame them on a couple things…steeping grains past 170 and the kits being old. Some of the beer mellowed with time (4+ months sitting), but I now make sure to brew everything I buy within two weeks. I drink everything I make no matter how it turns out, and I just don’t want to drink any more bad beer!
Problem with kit beer - Northern Brewer Forum
2012年1月20日 · Hi, I know this is a forum aimed at real brewing but, as a would-be brewer, I thought I’d start out with some kits and, having problems, would really appreciate some help. I seem to be suffering from a very marmitey beer whenever I make beer from kits. I’ve tried 5 or so now, different types of beer by different manufacturers. The final result always tastes or smells …
5 Gal. Extract Kits- Full Volume Boil or Top-Off?
2014年1月4日 · I’m getting ready to jump from the 1 gal. to the 5 gal. extract kits. I was wondering why the instructions call to boil 2.5 gallons of wort, then add 2 gallons of water to the fermentor and finish by topping-off to 5 gallons? Why not just start with 5.5 gallons and do a full volume boil? Is there any measureable difference in taste/clarity/shelf life between the two methods? Is a …
How long should an extract kit last? - Northern Brewer Forum
2013年4月22日 · Saw the email about free shipping for 4 kits. I pretty much know what ones I want to brew next but I can only do 1 kit at a time since I only have 1 primary carboy. If i buy 4 now, how long would it be before the grains and everything get old and effect the taste?
Plinian Legacy - Northern Brewer Forum
2015年4月2日 · I am really enjoying this new hobby! I have brewed 4 batches, got 2 more in fermenters and another batch conditioning in bottles. But what I have recently realized are some of the beer kits are actually replicates of other popular Craft beers which may not be available in my area. I think this is really cool feature of brewing my own beer. But what I find difficult …
2.5 Gallon Kits? - Beer Recipe Design - Northern Brewer Forum
2013年1月28日 · Is there any hope for 2.5 gallon extract kits? I am a total noob, and am totally enjoying this, but brewing 5 gallon batches doesn’t allow me to brew as often as i’d like to. Not to mention the limited selection i’m able to store. I’ve done a few 1 gallon batches, which I like, but is just a little bit too small. Would love to have something right in the middle there at 2.5gs. Thanks,

2016年1月28日 · Yeast and hops are the most volatile. If you stash those cold, you’re good for a bit. Hops in the freezer for months, yeast in the fridge for weeks (liquid) months (dry).
Using amylase on old grain - Mashing - Northern Brewer Forum
2021年8月26日 · I have 7 beer kits which are two years old. They were stored in a cool dry basement. Did not have any heat in basement for a year. I was building a second home and my wife said no more brewing till I am done so I had to stop. I am now off my performance improvement program, and am back to brewing. I have new yeast and new hops even though …
Do the one gallon kits come with yeast and priming sugar?
2013年10月13日 · If you’re looking at the NB kits, then yes, those two come with US-05 yeast and fizz tabs for priming. They’re listed in the “more information” tab under the picture of the beer. Cheers!
