Thought I’d update this thread since I just used to try Clinton, the shops still there and I’d highly recommend. $15 full for 5lbs very friendly.

Man this thread was a good read, so many great ideas. Making the northern brewer hard seltzer kit now. Having trouble, followed instructions to the T. Nothing happened after 3 days, bought another packed of EC1118 figured maybe it got to hot in shipping or w/e. Re-hydrated and repitched on the...

Only reason I waited so long was I had to finish the stout in my keg. Next time I’m going to cut the time down before kegging this style.

Kenmoron, I thought that could be it as well but wasn’t sure since I’ve never used gelatin before. I used 1/2 tsp in 3/4 water that was heated to about 150 in a sanitized bowl.

Yea it’s the lighting and angle, poured a glass last night was pretty light and clear. Will post a pic soon

Rph, thank you very much for the detailed response. I’m very mad I didn’t take a better picture, if it happens again I will. Been making beer for years and never had a problem like that. I’m always obsessive with Star San and wash with bbrite after batches. Oh well, I’m assuming it happened when...

Really couldn’t tell if it was fuzzy. To me it looked like mold, I think I caught it early but hard to tell. FG was 1.08

Alright so moved my honey kolsch over to secondary about 6 weeks ago. Used gelatin finins to get it super clear. Kegged/force carbed 2 days ago. Had a few white dots on the surface and looked like a little film. Never had a infection before. Tastes alright, kegged from the bottom since I have a...

Yea I had the same concern first time I cold crashed. I was making my first lager so it had been fermenting for a looooong time, and it was so clear by the time I went to cold crash it that I figured I was screwed and no yeast was left in suspension. BUT fortunately there was, cold crashed for...

Welcome to the addictive world of brewing! Definitely stick with the extract/partial mash for the first recipe or two. Nothing wrong with that! As was said before it's the best way to get used to the practices and sanitation. Then when comfortable, all grain time. Just don't forget you can't...

Cracked open my first bottle and holy crap.. there aren't words, I mean really delish. Wasn't an exact clone, seeing as how I couldn't find the amarillo hops and used centennial but I'm still happy as hell. Really a kick ass IPA, definitely plan to brew it again in the future. Thanks for all...

Mine resembled Sammy's but I think you all are right on the additions to make it more full bodied. I'm excited to hear how it turns out for you.

Cracked on open the other day, think it came out really well. It might have a little less body than I would have liked, but you can really taste the roasted flavor. Will definitely make again.

Just bottled yesterday, 3 weeks in the primary no secondary. Tasted amazing, can't wait!

Man S-04 is a beast after 24hrs it was exploding! A blow off tube is definitely needed for this recipe. Look at my airlock! Also quick question, I usually only do 7-10 days in the primary depending on the gravity. This recipe calls for 2 weeks in the primary, is that really necessary? Or can I...
