Hi all just wanted to report that it turned out just fine. Cracked one just to see what it taste like and it was pretty good. A few more weeks in the bottle will do it just fine but I was satisfied. Thanks all for the feedback.

Calder I believe you are right...... I have been monitoring the bottles and strangely as the beer carbs up the color is changing. It's redish light brown....amber. I cooled one one down and tried it and it tastes pretty good but crisp and clear like a lager. Not as tasteful as I like but the...

sort of....... The room temp is 70* that's what temp I keep my house. My Fermenting bucket is either kept in a mini fridge but the temp fluxuates to cold most of the time so often I use a large tub filled with water. The fermenter sits in the water at all times and the water is kept at the temp...

Thank u.... yeah the next batch is gonna get a higher temp. I was told by a post that nottingham makes a clean crisp beer at 60* and that it likes the colder temp?

BK the starting is the potential alc% if it fermented completely. the Hydrometer reads for gravity and alc% even in the beginning. According to Palmers How to brew you get that exact number by rounding out and multiplying by .129. so if your starting gravity was 1.050 that would equal a 50 then...

1. I'm not sure of the make up of the grains but they were for an amber beer 2. starting gravity of 1.040 or 40 x .129 ........ = 5.16% (palmers how to brew) then you take the starting alc% minus the finishing alc% to obtain your actual Alc% ex. starting was 5.16% - finishing 1.161% =...

A tasteless Beer? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My friends I again need some advise. I am a new home brewer and have been pretty lucky so far with two succesful brews one nut brown ale and one XX stout. Both were rich and flavorful and...

My friends I again need some advise. I am a new home brewer and have been pretty lucky so far with two succesful brews one nut brown ale and one XX stout. Both were rich and flavorful and very tasty. So for a friend I was asked to try something more mild, but the problem is it seems to be very...

Scoundrel and Yooper you have given me some great advise and I thank you! My second batch came out twice as good as the first thanks to your input. The first batch ever was a nut brown ale and was pretty good. The second batch that just went into the bottle was a XX stout and it taste twice as...

Scoundrel you made me LMFAO= laugh my ****ing ass off!!!! :drunk: And then We.......Brew On!! :rockin:

Scoundrel thank you very much for your advise. By bad I mean spoiled. Can it become sour or spoiled like milk? Does it need to be kept refrigerated or can it sit warm in the bottle? :mug:

Hi all just got a few questions from a beginner. I just completed my first batch and it came out good. I thought it was gonna be a flop but thanks to good advice it was a success. (thanks all from Fermenting Hot!) Well here it goes...... 1. Can My home made beer go bad? 2. How long can I...

Got a few questions maybe someone can answer....... 1. How long can my beer last in the bottle either in the fridge or just in the bottle in the closet warm? 2. Can my beer go bad? Do i need to preserve it to keep it for long periods of time? 3. If it will go bad how do I prevent that?

I would like to take a moment to thank all of you that have guided me on my first ever batch of beer. It came out great and tasted awsome! I thought for sure it was gonna be a flop!! But thanks to great advise it turned out just fine. Got a XX stout in the bucket now and I have implyed all the...
