b-boy: my house fluxuates between 60 (at night and when me and SWMBO aren't here) and 68-70. yooper: I didn't record the weight of the sugar I used (I know... I NEED to develop proper habits of recording everything) allenH: your experience matches that of others I had read on the NB comments...

So I brewed Northern Brewer's Midnight Beatdown Wheaten Porter (http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/midnight-beatdown-wheaten-porter-partial-mash-kit.html) about 2.5 months ago. 10 days primary, 3 weeks secondary, and 3 weeks in the bottle and my carbonation is barely noticeable. I carbed to...

That's kinda what I was thinking.

So this past weekend I was doing some racking and bottling and noticed that the interior surface of my bottling bucket felt "rough" in some spots. I've bottled 7 or so batches so far with no contamination problems... should I just keep it or replace to be safe?

Bottled this up this past Saturday. 52 12oz. bottles! Awesome silky, malty, sweet, and drinkable! Can't wait for this bad boy to fully carb!

Wondering the same thing myself... Sent from my TF300T using Home Brew mobile app

E-bay FTW. Got one coming (new!) for $17 shipped!

Yeah I like this thought. I'm splitting the order with a few other guys (I don't brew too often so I'll probably end up with 2ish pounds and doing a series of SMaSH brews to better familiarize myself with hop flavors.

I see... I'm thinking somehow that ordering from Canada as I'm in the states won't exactly be the most cost effective. I'm going to use my father's foodsaver (the heated kind, not the ziplock kind) and split an order with a few guys. I've seriously been intrigued by the idea of using...

WOW great list! Where did you order from?

So thus far here's the list (not counting my own original 2): Amarillo x2 Cascade x3 Magnum Willamette x2 US Goldings x2 Columbus Citra x2 Centennial x3 Warrior Wakatu Pacifica Fuggles Saaz Hallertau Any more out there?

Yes, Yes! I'm loving it! Keep em coming! (waiting for everyone to get out of work for more replies)

Hey all... I'm looking to place a direct order of hops from hops direct and am thinking of getting 5 pounds. I want at least 1 high alpha acid, 1 medium, and 1 low and possibly 2 general purpose hops. I like pale ale's and IPAs but am also love trying other styles (recently have done a stout...

I like that idea. At least then, anything left behind is diluted wort and not the concentrated stuff... Lol yeah... thats my life (especially if you ask swmbo). Aah how I wish I could. Alas, tuition bears a heavier burden than brewing and its many related acquisitions... Thanks for...

So I *tried* my first whirlpool this past Saturday and had what I would call mixed results. I finished my boil and cooled to 68 with my immersion chiller. Using a sanitized paddle I got the wort spinning like mad and covered the kettle for 10 minutes. Once everything calmed down (10 mins) I...
