hi billy, keep working at it! maybe your kid just wasnt drunk enough to appreciate the brew.

6.6lb Pilsen LME (half in the beginning, half 15 minutes from the end) 3lb Pilsen DME 3oz aromatic malt 1oz kent goldings hops I'm sure it'll come out fine, but it'd be nice to know if we did everything correct. Here's a pic of it so you can see the color

yea its an extract. bought it as a kit at my LHBS.

Thanks man. I really didn't want to dump the last batch either, but it sat in primary for 2 months and went through 2 wyeast packets and only dropped to 1.030 gravity. I could have bottled but didn't want to risk making 2 cases of bottle bombs. Although that does sound some what fun. :D

So I'm attempting my second beer, a Belgian blonde. My first beer, a Cali common, never finished fermenting and I decided to dump it. Any way the blonde has been in primary for 3 days an had a nice krouzen(sp?). Only thing is its a darker brown then I was expecting. Almost like a brown ale...

So my beers been in primary for 2 weeks. I checked it last week and I was at 1.030. Checked it again today and it's still at 1.030. I'm thinking my yeast tapped out. This is my first batch, anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks guys. Glad I posted this before I just went Shea and did it guess I had a case of noob patience. ;D

I just checked my beer and I had planned on switching to secondary today (5 days in primary). Not a lot of krausen on top and my fg is at 1.030 right now (started at 1.050). Should I let it sit in primary for a little longer or will I be ok putting it in secondary?

in, cant let the yinzers invade too much. :p

seems like every wedding i go to, the traditional beer is miller lite :rolleyes:

im kinda jealous of that party :D
