I'm planning to do the brewferm tripel soon. Did you use corn sugar or more malt mammy? Did you use their yeast or a liquid yeast?

awesome. I was planning to do it with half DME and half candi syrup/sugar. I was gonna use their yeast and maybe t-58 or some liquid. My LHBS sells brewferm kits, I just need to get one and open a fermenter for about a month lol. Thanks mammy!!

If it means anything, I think it's DHME, dry hopped malt extract.

I just drive to my LHBS (local home brew shop). Here's their website as you can order over the web as well: http://www.homebrewing.org/It looks like most or all of their HME kits are on sale but I didn't see the Brewferm Trippel. They do have a Dark Abbey Style in stock. Many other online home brew sites carry them as well. Midwest Supplies comes to mind. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Midwest_BrewingActually didn't see them at Midwest but they have them here: http://www.annapolishomebrew.com/shopNBKbrewferm.asp

I used several of the Coopers kits in my LBK's a couple years back. They are pretty nice especially with added hops and steeping grains. Only thing is the cans are bittered for 6 us gallons. So you can third the cans for a lighter version or half the cans for a stronger brew. You will also have to add the proper amount of dried malt extract to make up the fementables. Austin Homebrew has a nice selection. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/index.php?cPath=178_452_45_198

Hey natural, in case you haven't noticed Mr. Beer isn't cheap. I don't follow? did I miss something? I've been brewin' over 2 years now...and haven't paid full price on a MB kit since the beginning for that very reason. so unless you perceived me as being a d--k or something, I genuinely had never heard of the company (went from MB to AG...nothing else in between), and my google search went to sites where people were talking about the brewferm kits, not selling them. nice though. I appreciate a little love here on valentine's day

no worries! I thought that I said something wrong. and the AG vs. extract "argument" shouldn't even be an argument... well all know that AG is better! haha just kidding  as long as the end result is beer...the ingredients and methods used are relative only to the brewer. I can do an AG cream ale or simple hefe for less than $10 (MB size), but it takes hours to make the wort. conversely, I could buy the Witty Monk premium kit for a bit less than $20, and have it brewed and the yeast pitched in less than a half hour. both end results are tasty, neither method is "better" except to the brewer. que sera, sera

3 theoretically complete batches for $12.99 designed for the Beer Machine. Anyone tried any of the Beer Machine refills in a Mr. Beer LBK before? http://www.cabelas.com/product/The-Beer-...llProducts&(I hear the phone call to order is to make sure the person ordering is of drinking age.) So, anyone order any of these, anyway? Buddy of mine got the Beer Machine for Christmas the same time I got Mr Beer. He wound up using Mr Beer refills after his stuff came out crap.

mami, make a post on that and let me know what you do (brew process, additives, yeast, etc). I'm planning to brew it very soon.
