They are stored in the bottles in the tub at about 70*

Are any of the AHS kits any where close to NG Spotted Cow? Since I cannot get any NG here in NC I figure why not try to mimic it. I think for my second I may try a blue moon clone and one similar to NGSC. Are there any other AHS kits I should try that you have really enjoyed? Thanks!

OK so it has know been more then 2 weeks (4 total) and the beer has gained no more carbonation and still has that flat taste. I think I will chalk it up to being a noob and start on the next batch!

I know there a million threads on kit beers but here is another one. My first brew was a Cooper's light lager, which turned out good but not great (it is definitely drinkable) For my second I think I want to order one online. I looked at Austin Homebrew kits and brewers best. Which do you...

I tried in the general beer forum to no avail so I figured I would give it a shot here. Any idea how I could go about getting some New Glarus spotted cow here to NC to have on hand. Anyone know of any that may resemble it? I think my next batch I may have to try a cream ale. Thanks!

Thanks for all the advice! Yooper helped me out a whole lot so I think I have it figured out now! Thanks again Yooper!

Congrats!!!!!!!!

Have something in common! I also just recently found out I am going to be a dad! We found out 2 weeks ago and are due in the beginning of December. We just got married in October so needless to say I am pretty exci:ban: ted!

No I don't the guy at the LHBS said I didn't need one that I could use the same as I bottled my beer.

I am using a brew bucket with a spicket at the bottom about 1.5"-2" up from the bottom and then using just some tubing and a pressured bottle filler from the LHBS

So I tried to bottle the peach brandy and I cannot even fill one pint full! I am guessing its clogged but how else do I get it out? Should I pour and strain the entire bucket into another bucket and then bottle from there? I am afraid if I do that though I will lose some. HELP!

Do you think I should only bottle one tonight and try it before I bottle the rest? Yea yooper sorry about that I guess I could have looked before asking :drunk:

Yea I have waited until the airlock was done bubbling I may get one or two in a hour or two span. Thats what I figured as far as the raisins went just wanted to make sure. Is that dandellion wine good? Do you have a good recipe for it?

If you all remember about 4 weeks ago I started a (non-distilled) peach brandy, well today is the day it is supposed to be bottled and I have a few questions. I am putting it in pint sized mason jars and am going to put a few peach slices in each jar. The recipe called for raisins on the...
