My litle girl helps me bottle my brews. Last year, we did the Northern brewer No.1, which is a really strong Old Ale. We used a gold cap for one bottle instead of the usual silver. That one is...

I've tried a few BIABs, and it's OK, but I'd just as soon use that extra hour and a half on something else. There are so many great Northern Brewer kits I have to get through that I know I'll be...

I'm in the same boat right now. My first bottle was completely flat. About two or three weeks later, though, the next one was lightly, but nicely carbed. I've never made a beer as big as this...

Don't know if the twang you're getting is really due to only boiling 4 gallons and adding extract late. Something else might be going on. 4 gallons is a pretty decent size for a partial boil, and...

I use two bucket heaters. It gets 5 gallons boiling pretty good. Actually one alone would probably almost do it, so I am sure it would work with a hot plate.

Goose Island bottles are great. I got two cases of them from my brother in law. I started soaking them in Oxi-Clean for a half hour and all the labels were floating at the top. Zero effort to...

I had some huge blowoff on my last one, so I gave it a taste. It was incredibly bitter. Couldn't get rid of the taste in my mouth for a couple of hours.

When I made the Northern Brewer No. 1 kit a few weeks ago I just dumped in the four bags of sugar(!) at flameout. I really don't think it matters too much, but I saw no sense in boiling the stuff. ...

Sounds perfectly reasonable. That will be a good yeast, too. The Coopers yeast is fine, but it gets a bit boring after awhile. I'm sure you'll be very happy with this--especially since it's really...

Yep.

I did just that, and boiled a handful of Glacier hops with this Cooper's Real Ale kit. Plus a couple lbs. of DME. It really turned out nice.

Assuming you've used your hydrometer correctly, trust that. The airlock could be bubbling for any number of other readings. It means nothing, really.

Wait it out.

There's no telling how it will taste in a few weeks, but I bet it wil be more palatable. Even if it stays intense, then you can just consider it a "sippng" beet and drink it out of a...

That would do it. When you chilled down the bottles in the fridge it put the yeast to sleep. The bottles need to sit at a fermentable temperature for a few weeks first.

Well,the temps you gave are kind of on the low side for an ale, but I think the only problem you'd face is that it would take a lot longer to ferment. But, really, 62 to 65 isn't that low. Usually...

Yep, Malta Goya works, and it's like 60 cents a bottle. It's just carbonated wort. Boiling it should help drive off the carbonation.

You could also use Coopers or Munton's carb tabs in the bottles, or sugar cubes. Then you'd just bottle straight from the spigot.

Mashing is an interesting process, for sure. I was glad to try it a few times--just to see how it all works. The process is really simple when you consider what's going on. However, while I was...
