I will second/third/whatever Founder's All Day IPA if you can find it. I never developed a taste for IPA's when I first started trying craft beers, but recently bought a six pack of this because I was curious again. It was fantastic!

Agreed, that was one of the mistakes I made. I haven't secondaried another one (will for a vanilla cream ale soon). Should have left it longer, it's been conditioning a while and I'm still afraid I'm going to lose this one. Two that I've done since aren't quite ready yet but well on their way...

I am doing the same with a cream ale, should be ready to go in about 10 days to secondary. I have decided to put the vanilla beans (and some vodka/extract) in the secondary first and rack on top. Not 100% sure this is the correct way to go to get the taste I want, but after reading the forums...

Good topic. I just started brewing myself and am waiting for a couple beers to condition. The reason I got interested was when I was at my last job, a coworker did weekly brews. He would invite folks over for dinner and have $5 donations for food and a $1 for 12 ounce and $2 for 22 ounce...

I just bought two kits of NB Cream Ale and am thinking the first will be according to the instructions. Second will be a split batch of 2.5 gal vanilla and either raspberry or strawberry. Still not sure on the recipes yet, but if you try one of these let us know how they come out! I want to...

Pretty boring day for me, I sure get antsy on non-brew/bottle/clean-up days now that I have gotten into this. Just checked the FG on my Hefeweizen and it is sitting at 1.012, just quit bubbling yesterday after five days in the fermenter. One more week and will check again. Also looking into...

Pretty cool, I signed up and will go through it as time allows. I have an engineering background but am pretty poor on the chemistry side. As a beginning brewer, hopefully I can learn a thing or two as it is always nice to understand "Why".
