I couldnt help but try and get a lil crafty on my second brew, since my first one has so far been goin great through the stages. I think the beauty in beer lies in the complexity of its flavors and aromas. So I wanted to see what I could bring to the game so to speak... with a extract kit lol...

Went to a HBS today to pick up some more supplies. Decided to do one more extract w/ grains kit before i go to a PM... Got home and read the recipe it calls for 7lbs LME, what I got was 7lbs Pilsner.I used LME on my last kit wich is still settling, so I guess they are not one in the same... did...

I am super new to the brewin gig, first batch on day 3. But I noticed that my indoor temp was a lil high so I put it in a uninsalaeted room that gets pretty cold, I ended up wrapin a shirt around it and it is currently at 65 - 66 degrees(thermometer on the outside of the carboy). I dont know if...

Did a Blond Ale PM for my first attempt at brewing. The recipe said to boil the hops for 60 min. I have been reading around and lookin at recipes, and from what I understand in the boiling process it goes bittering, flavoring and then aroma. What does this mean for the final product? Its only...

Thanks for the help I was gettin a lil worried. Went to my LHBS today and got a stopper that fit, had a lil trouble gettin it in as the gas kept pushin it out. But all is good now. Thanks again!
