3. How much was your kit, or did you just sort of make it yourself?
4. Have you found any good websites for info aside from the first few pages of results on Google?
5. How long does the whole brewing process usually take for you?


It's awesome to see some home brewers on here!
my buddies and i recently (this summer) made a 6x hops IPA.
came out amazing. Definitely a slow drinker.. but it wasn't gross like you might expect from excess hops. It actually came out as that perfect kick back and let a pint last 45 minutes kinda beer. and it was high gravity so definitely fun results haha.

ok, so i bought 12 bottles of this pipeline thing. drinking it right now as i'm typing this...is this stuff beer? it tastes like some really damn good coffee. has so much flavor.

edit: this coffee just creeped up on me. i'm drinking it and drinking it, then i'm feeling buzz. i think it's my mind thinking i'm really drinking some ice coffee and not expecting the alcohol.

1. One of those kegs, and 15 German Steins to drink from (A Stein is a mug that has a lid that open and closes)
2. A place to chill, sit, and listen to music (like someones nice backyard)
3. A BBQ with some steaks/other meats, as well as sides
4. Several care free hours

How dope with that be? If we all pitched in like $20 we could totally do it...

Did not like the pipeline, I didn't expect it to taste so much like coffee and I'm not a fan of cold coffee drinks

Picked up a 6 pack earlier. I actually really like it. Than again, I am a huge fan of any dark ales, porters, etc that have unique tastes. I might have to stock up on this as well. +100 Daniel
