Sounds good. I will hold off until I get some dme. Then I can just follow one of your recipes. I will start after Christmas on this. Thanks for all the help. I have learned alot, but have alot to learn. I will post here when I am ready to start if I have questions. Thanks for being patient.

Heres mine. I was bored one night and airbrushed the freezer door..lol

Ok, starting to make more sense. What kind of plan would you use if you were going to use 2 cans of hopped lme and some hopps for aroma? Sorry if it seems I am asking you everything but coming here and doing it..lol.. I just dont want to mess it up. And I am learning alot in this thread and...

Yes you would need a regulator for the "carbonator". I just suggested it if you already had keg gear it would be a better way to go imo. I would like to test a beer or soda force carbonated with either of those devices though:drunk:. Pretty cool.

So I dont need to boil if the lme is already hopped? Or just bring to a boil to add the aroma hops?

Sounds like a plan. I will be starting this in a few days.. Will post results.. Thanks again for taking the time to help a noob..

I picked up "4" 1oz packs of hopunion cascade hops. I am thinking of adding some at flameout for nice aroma sinse the LME is already hopped and I should be ok on bitterness? Does this sound ok? How many ounces should I add? I like hoppy, just not over the top. Though I actually dont know this...

Not too sure how much this is needed in beer making as I am new to it, but I use this alot in winemaking and figured it may have a use here as well. I dont heat my house very warm in the winter "65-67*f " same in the summer. So I had bit of trouble keeping my must at a better "and stable" temp...

If you keg with ball lock korny kegs this is the ticket. even if you dont keg but have co2 you can get the coupler for this for about 5 bucks at a homebrew store.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0064OKADS/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...

All good with sanitation, much practice from wine making.. As to a "flameout".. Could you explain that a bit more for me? When do I do it? What do I do? what does it do? ect.. Thanks so much for the help and advise. I will post my progress and results here as I go.:mug:

I am definitly going to try your recipes too. I will have 4 more cans to experiment with after a 2 can experiment. This will be fun..:drunk:

Ok, I am getting a game plan together.. I will try two cans of the lme and water. I do like my beer a bit hoppy. Any advise on a hop choice and quantity? Here is my plan.. Please critique... Bring 2.5 gallons of water to a boil. add 2 cans of lme and return to light boil. boil 40 minutes...
