+5 NB's Honey Weizen kit = 32333

The first glass of a 7+ month Apfelwein that got transferred into a keg last weekend.

I had a batch that I started on 7/25/2012 using EC1118. This was a set it and forget it batch - it was in primary the entire time and never got racked to secondary. I decided this past Saturday (3/2) that it was time to package. Kegged it and dropped it in my keezer. It finished at 1.001 and...

I ordered one last week for $36 and some change, plus free shipping. It arrived Tuesday and seems to be a very sturdy pot. I'll be doing the pre-brew water boil either tonight or tomorrow night, and the maiden brew will be this weekend. The planned break-in brew is a citra pale ale. Can't wait!

I'm definitely in!

Replacement keg from Midwest. Guess that means I can keg my 6 month old apfelwein.

I pitched EC1118 into a batch on 7/28. It's going into a keg this weekend. I haven't read through the whole thread to verify, but I'm assuming I can just set it to the same pressure I use to serve my ales (10-12) and let it sit until carbed. Hard to believe I let it sit this long, but it...

SA New Albion Ale

One of the Northern Brewer stores is local to me, so most of what I need I just pick up when I'm there. However, I have ordered from Austin, Midwest, Adventures in Homebrewing, and Farmhouse at various times and for a wide range of products. In fact, I did a lot of online shopping on Black...

If the free shipping is still available, I'd love to get the code for that. My gift to myself this year is a 4 keg kit with a couple of co2 tanks.

Took advantage of Midwest's keg sale and ordered 4 ball lock kegs. They'll go nicely with the chest freezer that's being delivered in a few weeks.

Just boiled a second set of jars for yeast washing. I think I'm covered for the weekend...

I have a batch that hit 4 months in the fermenter the other day - it's looking very clear. I rushed my first batch, and it turned out good enough that I have another batch that's at about 3 months as well. I used Montrachet for batch #1, and EC1118 for the two that are fermenting now. I'm...

I just started brewing in June, and my first batch was "drinkable" by the end of July. That first batch is down to the last 6-pack, I've polished off a batch of BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde and have the second batch of that bottle conditioned already, and I have 3 others that are conditioned...
