My first big beer turned out amazing. Designed as an American Stout and doubt I could have done better on this one. Hops: Chinook 1oz 60min Challenger .75oz 60min Fuggles .5oz 5min Grains: Caramel 60L 1lb Chocolate 8oz Roasted Barley 3oz...

I found it! Transferring to secondary... Lo and behold! There's the bee lol

For anyone referencing this thread later the above poster is correct. The auto siphon tube works perfectly

Lol that was hysterical. Ill have to come up with a bee related pun for the name now :)

I am currently watching over my brew kettle during boil. About 2 minutes ago a bee landed right in the wort and has seemingly disintegrated. Is this going to ruin my batch? Anyone else have this problem before?

My first labeled brew

Awesome. Thanks for the tips guys! I'll try some of my auto siphon tubing and see how it goes

Is there a way to rig some kind of blowoff to a bucket? All I have is a 6.5 gal bucket w/airlock.

Alright so I dropped my first big beer (maple American stout) into the fermenter Friday and since have blown goo out my airlock not once but twice! It's a pain to clean but as my first blowout I wanted to know if anyone else gets excited over this good of fermentation?

StoneShire Brewery My wife actually helped me get into homebrew and came up with the name. Really simple. My last name plus part of her maiden name. Has a nice ring to it I think.

For anyone referencing this in the future the yeast are perfectly fine. I did use yeast nutrient and my O.G. Was 1.085. Had a blowout last night too lol

Ok cool. It's off to a slow start but at least it's doin something

Alright guys I had a brain fart when cooling down my wort so how I ended up cooling the whole fermenter took hours. That being said I rehydrated my yeast before that was started. They sat covered with plastic wrap at room temp for about 6 hours. Anyone know if I caused them much damage?

Thanks for the tips. I spent a good while figuring my hops so Im glad they sound ok. I want it to be fairly roasted but not over bearing. I had thought about using crystal 60 and some 120 too. Would the light base and more use of specialty grains make it more flavorful?

Hey guys Im about to brew up my first self made recipe in a couple weeks. Hoping it will find approval here. Please let me know what you think. 3.3lbs Amber LME 3.3lbs Dark LME 1lb Cystal 60L (steeped) 1/2lb Chocolate (steeped) 1/4lb Black Patent (steeped) 1/4lb Roasted Barley (steeped) 64oz...

Hey Bauer glad I found your post. I'm a new brewer in Oklahoma myself. I brewed my first Irish Red and it ended up like a pale ale O.o Ive got a very promising copper ale in the secondary right now. I'd like to get in on any brewshops you know of. Shipping is killing me right now.
