Excellent!!! How much barley? 1/2lb?

What formula do I use, because I was using that howtobrew.com stuff. I'm trying to make my own stout recipe so I don't want to use a generic, any suggestions other than the malt?

I figured I would run these by you guys before I brew this time. Does this look right for a stout? 3lbs Light Ale (LME) 4lbs Dark/Chocolate (DME) 1oz Galena (60mins) 1oz Chinook (30mins) 1oz Northwest Golding (10mins) 1tsp Irish Moss 5 Gals. O.G. -->1.0536 O.G. = 3*36/5=21.6...

Sorry it's taken me a while, I've been away on business. Yes, it's an extract. The OG thing is good. The airlock never bubbled but through the plastic I can see alot of activity!!! Thanks for everyone's help!!!

I came up with this recipe and everything looked fine: 4lbs LME Wheat 2lbs DME Wheat 1.5oz Haullertaur (60mins) 1oz Tetnanger (5mins) Wyeast #3068 Boil in 3 gals My problem is the O.G. should be 1.075ish with my calculations, but I came out with 1.045. Also, my primary fermenter...

I'm kegging most of my 5 gallon brew. However, I would like to bottle 12 of them so I can hand them out as samples. I have set aside 1-1/4c of DME, but how much would I use in each bottle to get me the correct carbonation?

I just tried my first batch of beer (IPA) and I must say AWESOME!!! The flavor and bitterness is where I want it! Add carbonation and voila! THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR HELP!!! You guys are so knowledgable and helped me through some jams! Beermaker for life!! Thanks again!:rockin:

Sounds good I appreciate it! Cheers! \_/

To get this right, you are saying just shut the lid and don't worry about hooking up the CO2 (carbonating it) until a week before it will be drank?

So it would be good enough to store though. I can carbonate for a week when I bring it out right?

I want store beer in a corny keg until ready to drink. How do I pressurize the keg to seal the top, then set it and forget it until I'm ready to hook it up to drink?:confused:

Perfect!!! Thanks a million!!! or at last 5 gals worth of thanks

This is my second batch and I want to jump right into partial mash. My last one turned out not too shabby for a first time brewer (thanks to everyone's help!!!!), but I want to get some experience and truly understand homebrew so I can create my own recipe. Any ideas for a recipe for a partial...

I'm trying to bitter up my pale ale because I didn't boil my hops when making my wort (earlier post). I need to know how much water I should boil for 1oz of hops. I already have 5 gals of beer but I need to have a strong tea to bitter it up...Any suggestions? My final gravity is 1.012...

Thanks for the help!!
