  If that's the case, that's a relief. I bought the kit based on the reviews, and I've been
  struggling with finding a decent brown ale recipe. After some iffy results, I'm hoping this
  comes in good. Eve...

  Did a Newcastle all-grain kit from Austin Homebrew which came with Windsor dry yeast as my
  option. Brewing session went well, OG (1.053) right on the mark. Fermentation started
  vigorously within a cou...

  I am usually not in a hurry to dump a beer.... so, if I don't need the bottles/kegs or space, I
  let it ride for a while. But, I have absolutely no problem dumping a beer if I don't like it. I

  I've got a brown ale I brewed (extract) based on two other batches, with this one as a

  I asked my LHBS about keeping LME over time and he thought mold might be a problem with any air
  introduced. I bought a 33 lb. jug to save quite a bit of money. Took 5 half-gallon plastic milk
  jugs, wa...

  I had friends that used to make "homebrew" out of that, along with a pack of Fleishman's Bakers
  Yeast. Got everything in the grocery store. Hops? What are hops?Tasted nasty, chunks of yeast

  That's why I asked if you left it on. Yes, you have to leave it on to carbonate. If the tank is
  on, you will lever see a drop in pressure unless the tank was literally out of CO2. The
  pressure in a CO...

  It could be a leak, but two weeks isn't that long to begin with. The pressure is not going to
  drop on the gauge if the tank is still on (which it needs to be if you want to carbonate).I'm
  leaving it o...

  Okay. Second batch kegged up. 1/2 cup of corn sugar in a cup of water in the bottom of the keg.
  Filled the keg to almost full, purged and sealed up tight with about 4 blasts of CO2, bled one
  last time...
