Question for home brewing Beer?

My husband and i have a wine kit , but i really wanted to make some beer. My husband as tried some home brewed beer from a friend of ours and said it has a skunky taste and doesn't lke it. Does anyone know of a real good beer recipe of or a beer kit we could purchase

(please keep in mind we are canadian and would preferably like it to taste , none skunky ((not like Heineken yuk)) more of a molsen or kokanee taste if possible.
and by skunky i mean the way a Heineken smells.

  1. Man if it was skunky, that makes me think it was fermented badly. I've been homebrewing for a few years now and that is the first sign of a bad beer….sorry.
    If you're looking for a good beer, then personally I'd try an English Stout with a little bit of chocolate and coffee added to the wort. The most important thing when brewing is cleanliness, otherwise you'll end up with skunky rotten beer.

  2. I don't know about brewing beer (or making alcohol in general…). But skunky tastes and smells come from sulfur. So there is probably sulfur in the water that is used. Such as, if you live in the boondocks and drink groundwater then there is probably iron sulfate in the water, maybe calcium sulfate, or other sulfates. Even city water can have those things in it. So if you will use the right water then you shouldn't have skunky tastes in anything.

  4. 1) The home-brew you tasted was probably light-struck or stored too warm. Be sure to use brown bottles.

    2) Get a different fermentation bucket for use with beer. The plastic will absorb the alpha acids from the hops, ruining it for future use with wine. The rest of the equipment can be shared.

    3) IMHO, the best recipes are in books by Papazian and by the Seven Barrel Brewery.
