  Each vile is good for one batch of beer. A starter will verify that the yeast is good and
  increase the cell count which decreases the lag time between pitching and the start of
  fermentation. Under pit...

  I just racked into a keg and took a taste. It is really good and the pumpkin flavor is coming
  through well. I probably only got about 4 gallons in all, since there was another 2-3 inches of
  trub on th...

  I dont bother taking the gravity anymore. It never seemed to be what it should when I used to
  take the starting gravity and I worried to much about it, so eventually I just stopped all
  together.The pu...

  After reading all of the pumpkin ale recipes on the board I decided to try one of my own. This
  first started out as Samuel Smiths Winter Welcome clone(was looking to do a winter\christmas
  ale) but I d...

  Yea, I heard vanilla mellows out in a few weeks. I let it age around 2 months, but I still did
  not like it enough to drink it. I do have a few that I bottled, so I will probably crack one
  open sometim...

  I think it's just me. You're not. This was the first batch I dumped. I just never got over how
  strong the vanilla was. If I ever do anything with vanilla again I will not use more then 2oz.

  I made this one and had the same reaction as you. I let it sit for about two months since
  people said it would mellow out. After two months I dumped it. It was nasty. I may never add
  vanilla extract t...

  Has anyone who brewed this thought that 6 oz. of vanilla is way to much? I brewed this a few
  months ago and I will never add more than 3 oz. of vanilla to anything again.

  I just made a Vanilla Cream Ale posted in the Recipe forum. My first impression was that the
  vanilla was too strong(2oz in primary, 4oz at bottling). I already chilled and carbonated the
  beer and it i...

  1.3lbs Black Barley, 1/3lbs Black Patent, and 1oz Dark Chocolate. Anyways, when I got this kit
  I had also or...
