    When will I know if I messed up my first brew?

    Dude your fine don't worry about it. I don't even boil my top-off water. I think there is a misconeption about having to brew in a level VIII clean room. Its just beer.

    How Much Money Is There To Be Saved?

    You can definetely save money. Wash your yeast, but hops in bulk and buy LME / grain from you LHBS and you can brew extract kits for 20 bucks. You would be saving over 50% over bud light. If you compare this to say Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (8 bucks a 6-pack is the price here) you would be...

    Does my washed yeast at least look right?

    You want to let the trub settle in the carboy, then decant into a jar. Let it settle in the jar, then decant into smaller mason jars. You are step decanting to try to get all the trub out. However, your jars look ok. You may have a little trub in there, but that will settle out in your...

    Root Beer Yeast

    I am wondering if anybody knows the yeast / ingredients to brew root beer. I am guessing it is different yeast as no alcohol is produced but I have no idea what to get. BTW if anyone has a fully ingredient list / procedure list (including ferment time, secondary if necessary, bottling...

    northern brewers chinook ipa flavor

    Jlsbrew I kinda feel the same way regarding the malt profile and mouthfeel. I think the idea with this one is its an easy drinking IPA. If you brewed again would you add maybe 1/2 # crystal 20 to the steeping grains to get a little more malt flavor and mouth feel?

    northern brewers chinook ipa flavor

    bringing this up out of the graves, I have got to say that this beer really came around for me. I noticed that first month there was somewhat a 'grassy' flavor. After that, the aroma of grapefruit really came through and the harsh grassy/piney flavor died. Now I have just 2 left (approx 2...

    IIPA bottling Q

    Have an IIPA which has been in the secondary for 2 months. I washed the yeast from this batch. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to decant one of the jars of washed yeast, and add the yeast along w/ priming sugar to bottling bucket and racking on top. I want to make sure it carbs...
