    Moved this to secondary today after 3 weeks in primary, and my gravity is still in the
    1.021-1.023 range. Smells of TF Amber malt, almost sickeningly sweet. Hope this turns out.
    Getting discouraged he...

    After a week in the fermenter I checked the gravity of this beer and it was at 1.022-1.023.
    Last night I checked it and it was about the same.How low has anyone been able to get this to
    ferment out? I...

    The good thing about this having the chill plate is that I couldn't detect any refrigerant
    lines going through the top. Therefore, I drilled through the top and used bolts, washers and
    lock nuts to ho...

    Sorry for just getting back to this.. Got the inbox notification and I wanted to reply after
    having this for a few months.All in all, if you're looking for something to sit in your dining
    room (my sit...

    Brewed a 10G batch of this on Saturday - it was my second AG batch and my buddy's got a few
    more AG under his belt. Was our first day with new equipment, including a converted keg mash
    tun and a pump....

    Drinking a glass of this that I made now. It was my first AG batch and I'm so far not
    impressed, but I think I know what I'll change for my next AG batch after this..I used 1056 and
    fermented at 60-64...

  • Posted in thread: First AG batch doesn't taste good... on 03-20-2013 at 03:22 AM
    Just kegged my first AG batch. It was a 3 gallon Two Hearted Ale clone which I got off the
    recipe board here on HomeBrewTalk.All throughout the process I've been tasting a sample here
    and a sample the...

  • Posted in thread: how do i know weather to full boil or not on a clone recipe? on 03-11-2013 at 05:30 AM
    You will get better utilization of your hops in a full boil. This isn't the scientific way of
    describing it, but it's the simple way...If you add the same amount of malt extract to 3
    gallons of water,...

    What I like about Craig is he seems to be a very genuine, sincere, down to earth guy. He
    doesn't condescend when the teaches, he just puts his knowledge out there.Definitely a good
    thing for the hobby...

  • Posted in thread: How much foam on first pour do you have? on 03-06-2013 at 01:52 AM
    The other variable that is hard to control is the temperature of the faucet. Until cold beer
    runs through it, you're going to get that temperature differential and some foaming. If I don't
    use my taps...
