Bottling today, smells really good http://twitpic.com/3wsrmc

4oz extract and 2 or so lbs rasp

Ours is 1.5 weeks in secondary. The bf tried it, but I haven't. Its pink, and smells verrrry raspberryish. Used all extraxt and 4 bags of frozen berries

Marshmallow extract? Does such a thing exist? I believe marshmallow taste is just vanilla.

Me and HWMNBO :) brewed this today. We had to use Crystal 60L and used hallertau hops instead, 1.5 oz at 30, .5 at 15. Also trying Safbrew WB-06. After reading all the reviews, probably should have stuck with 05. Will probably add frozen raspberries in secondary and halve the extract. Our OG was...

Calder, you were right, its still fermenting, a bubble every minute or so! Thanks!

Jamiit, feel free to refer to me as SwimBo IRL as well. If gravity has not dropped at all in a week, can we add more yeast to finish the job? If so, would we add another whole packet (sf-04)?

Here is one for $39 at Cabela's. cabelas turkey fryer

I'm thinking of picking one up that is rated for maybe a 1-5 gallon tank - 25w?, and using more water than that, so it doesn't warm it up too much.

thanks for this tip. we have yet to brew anything at all, but our house is 74ish and basement is 50ish. was planning on setting it on top of a heating pad, but it doesn't have a thermostat. aquarium heaters are cheap and water should regulate the temp much better.

dried and roasted kernel of the cocoa bean ps. hi from hbg. :)

Wait, thought of another person I can get this deal for. Thanks for the heads up!

Dammit, spent a ton on starting equipment for the bf's christmas gift.

Thanks! How much of the nibs did you add and when?

Read the reviews, but wanted to see if anyone here has made Northern Brewer's Chocolate Milk Stout kit? Got the boyfriend home brewing equipment for Christmas (shhhhhhhhhh) and he LOVES chocolate stouts. Comes with chocolate extract... is this okay to use, or would it be better to use...
