Oh yeah thank you very much. I figured if it wouldn't be a huge difference. I was aware of the differences between the english and domestic maltsters though. I'll be using all domestic malt for the recipe. Thanks again

Ok so besides the slight color difference would substituting one for the other give very much flavor/aroma differnce. My recipe calls for 8oz crystal 80 the shop doesn't cary it. They do have crystal 75 and 90 as well. Still pretty new to this but my guess would be the difference wouldn't be...

Not sure what got into this one going to let it ride. First pic is at 3 weeks the other about a month and a half

Bottling was my intention but when I started to transfer the Starsan through my auto siphon I realized it didn't seal properly so was leaving long streams of bubbles through the tubing. I don't want to have oxidized and infected beer so I'll hold off until I pick up a new siphon. Not sure when...

Cleared up quite nicely after a little less than a month. The taste is quite nice as well. This is by far the best beer I've brewed so far. I think I have some real winners on their way right behind this one.

Tanks I will certainly post pics when it's finished. I will add though for anyone who is thinking of brewing you may want to add a blow off tube from the start. The Danstar Notingham yeast was pretty wicked. This was the airlock about 11 hours after pitching.

Started out about 2 years ago with a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas and wanted to go bigger ever since. Didn't really have the space to go bigger until I recently bought my new house. Now I have plenty of space and I plan to brew 5 gal full volume extract batches for a while to hone my skills. I...
