I'm in the same boat right now. Fermentation stuck at around 1.042. I warmed the carboy up to around 74 degrees and shook it up a bit, but that didn't help. I repitched with a couple packets of wine yeast three days ago because that's just what I had on hand, but that doesn't seem to be...

I just brewed a 5 gallon batch of this today. This was my first endeavor into high gravity brewing. Filled my 10 gallon MLT to the brim with the mash. I ended up mashing at 150. I double batch sparged and had about 8 gallons to boil. I boiled for an extra hour for evaporation, but it...

Just bottled 5 more gallons. I split the batch in half and used all Amarillo in one half, just so I could taste the difference between hops side by side. I also dry hopped both halves. 1819.25 :mug:

I'm officially in, if we're still doing this thing. I've got a small porter (3.2% ABV) and my iteration of Yooper's DFH 60 should be ready just it time. Let me know if I should bring some non-beer consumables. I can make a good guac or some jalapeno mashed potatoes.

So, I brewed the extract version yesterday using the Crystal malt. OG: 1. 072 I'll let y'all know how it turned out for me in about 6 weeks.

If y'all don't mind a newbie bringing his first (non-Mr.Beer) batch, then I'm interested. I'll have to run it by SWMBO before I commit.

Just started in December, 2007. One Mr. Beer batch, then two 5 gallon Extract + Specialty Grain batches. I'm hoping to get set up for AG on my next one.

I just want to add my name to the list of Central Florida residents who have had bad experiences with Hearts Homebrew. Every time I go in there, I get the impression that my presence is a nuisance. They are not helpful or friendly at all. I have started ordering everything from...

Hey all, I'm planning to brew the extract version described in posts #27 and #29 this weekend. It'll be just the second batch of my "post-Mr. Beer" era. I'm sorry if I'm posting a question with an obvious answer, but here it goes anyway. YooperBrew included 1# of Crystal 40L in the...
