Little guy is 4.5 months now. Brewing definitely took a backseat for a while, but squeezed in a Wee Heavy when he was about 3 months old, which is when this picture was taken. Gonna have my brew...

This is how I rigged up my cooler mash tun. The stainless steel fenders were a little pricey, but worth the added cost for the stability, and they should last forever. Have fun with your first brew.

Hmmm, I pitched one pack of Wyeast 3068. Was a little worried about it stalling, especially since it was shipped from MN to FL in the middle of summer and got here warm. But it fermented fully. ...

I waited to add the second half of the DME in the last 15 minutes. Color still came out darker than I'd like. I guess that's common with extract brewing, especially partial volume. But other than...

I use Better Bottles to ferment and judging by that picture, I'd say you're right around 5 gallons there, maybe a tad under. When you're done with the bottle and have it cleaned out, fill it with...

I brewed this recipe as initially outlined (without the Irish moss). Pitched one pack of Wyeast 3068. Fermented most of the time around 68, but did drop it down to 65-66 for a few days...

Tonight was an Old Rasputin and a Stone IPA. Tomorrow I'll break into a Duvel 4-pack. And Sunday I'll be cracking a bomber of my homebrewed Oktoberfest to kick off the start of another season of...

Actually, I just tried my Oktoberfest that was lagered for over 12 weeks. Straight out of the fridge, most of the flavor was dominated by hop bitterness and little else. I was a tad disappointed...

I brewed an Oktoberfest with an OG of 1.060 a few months ago. Pitched 2 packs of Saflager 34/70 and fermented 9 days at 52-54 F, then 2 day D-Rest at 68-70. Was at FG in about 11 days. I'd pitch...

As for the DME, Northern Brewer has Breiss Wheat DME with a 65/35 ratio.

I want to keep the color light. I've heard that adding extract later in the boil can help keep the color lighter, although I'm not sure if this applies only to liquid malt extract. But in any case,...

I'm not going to be making a starter so I figured it's best to go with 2 packs. Mr. Malty suggests 205 billion cells for 1.056 OG, and each pack has 100 billion - so 2 packs should do it. I'll be...

Thanks everyone. Brought the temperature up to 68-70 for two days and racked to my secondary tonight. Gravity came down a few more points to around 1.015. Made my wife taste it and no detectable...

Just figured I'd play it on the safe side and do one. I've read that not everyone is as perceptive to the taste, and since I've never tasted it before I have nothing to compare to. Planning on...
