Well I'm drinking one now and it tastes great. I'm not sure what effect the wheat starch had on flavor though. It has a FG of 1.008. Give the wheat starch a try if you can find it.

10903 + 5 = 10908

402 + 35 = 437

Its in the bucket now. We will see how it works. here's the recipe for 5 gallons. I had to go to the asian market to get the wheat starch. I mixed the wheat starch in with the crushed grains before the mash. 6.5 lbs two row .5 lbs special b 2 lbs wheat starch 1 lb table sugar 1oz cluster...

A lot of people don't use a secondary and just leave it in primary for 3-4 weeks. If you are dry hopping then you should secondary. Either way don't bother moving to a colder spot for an ale.

That sucks! My LHBS sells 2 row for $45 for a 55 pound sack. Can't complain. It sounds like you would be better off buying online and paying for shipping.

I did both. Did the kegorator first then I bought a knock off corona style mill for about $25 and hand crank about 8 pounds of grain in about 10 minutes. Can't beat the price on bulk grain and plus now I can brew whenever I feel like.

I think he means we can't count what we have brewed in the past. That would be kind of hard for some people.

I think we are missing something. More homebrew equals more gas and less hangover. Maybe the cure to a hangover is wicked gas!:ban: I think i'm on to something. or maybe i've had too much homebrew.

Mine is a Chimay goblet my brother in law brought back from Belgium for me. Just feels right in my hand.

+1 on making the starter. White labs actually recomends making a starter with high gravity beers anyways. Plus with it past the date it is probably a good idea.

Welcome to the forum. You have come to the right place to start brewing.

where was the kit from? They usually list ingredients online

Good point. My garage is detached so me and the dog are the only ones who go in there but I do store the tank out of the way. I am listening to the podcast on propane safety right now and it sounds like the main concern is in the event of a fire you have a bomb sitting in your garage.
