ill take pictures of it with my dslr and post it up later. thanks bros!

not sure if this is the right place to put this, but is my brew infected. Did this on saturday. It was my first brew in over 3 years :/ thanks guys!

woot woot!!! its not infected. I just tasted a sample that's not murky. It has a chocolate taste with some roast malt and in the finish I can taste a lot of caramel, like the fudge kind.

here's to hoping the sarcastic responses will prove to be right. I'll taste a portion thats not trubbed out when I start the bottling process.

so im setting up to bottle right now and I took a sample of the beer to get a gravity reading. The sample I got is really merky so im assuming it has a lot of the trub/yeast in it. When i tasted it, it was sour. so i was worried about it and thought that maybe its infected. I haven't had an...

i got a black ipa that I made with columbus for bittering then for aroma and flavoring I used both citra an centennial. then I dry hopped with citra. I used more citra then either of the other two hops. It turned out awesome, its aroma is very sweet, like a ripe mango and just yummy. I'm...

i don't really worry about the krausen...In my last two batches, i've been using notty. The folks here told me its a very vigorous yeast but on the first batch that I used notty, i totally missed the krausen and i never got any bubbles. Nevertheless, it fully fermented out. On my current...

great divide, seasonal stuff from founders, three floyds, surly...does your store have a website??

alright, lets do it...I already got a trade in the works but the more the better :D what else can you get??

alright thanks man...im at my last minute of my mash right now...gonna start the boil soon :D

thanks bro! I decided Ill do it at 10mins. Ill just get a sample of the wart before I add it. That should be close enough of a reading, even though im sure the additional 10mins boil would condense the wort a bit more

yeah I see some brew kits, that say to add the lactose at 60min. I also wanted to know if there is a difference or not?

hows the sweetness on it??? find it to be too sweet or just right?? I'm going to brew a stout tomorrow morning and I was thinking about adding 1lb of lactose to my recipe. My grain bill is just slightly more than the NB's grain bill though. So im assuming it shouldn't get my chocolate stout...

yeah, i intend to, I want to add 1 lb. I think it should be ok with 1 lb.
