Okay, I figured it would be okay. I just like to make sure. Should be bottling it tomorrow, then hopefully drinking in about three weeks! Thanks!

I've gotten pretty busy lately and my nut Brown ale extract kit is going on 4 weeks in primary. I assume it is perfectly fine and maybe even better with the 2 extra weeks. Is this true?

Yeah, the kit came as a present and my next batch is a nut Brown ale that will be bottled in 2 days. I think I'm going to do th 15 min cascade pale ale next.

It was a Mr. Beer classic American light kit

Just drank my first batch and it tastes like apples. It was a classic American light kit. 2 weeks primary, and 2.5 weeks bottles. Multiple tasters agreeded that it tastes like apples without being told beforehand. What did I do wrong?

Alright, I will grab some vodka for the future. My OG was around 1.045. It is a 5.5 gal batch in a 6.5 gal fermentor. Anyone think I could have a blow off?

Pretty active fermentation going on and my starsan is actually bubbling uot of my airlock. Is this a big issue as long as I watch it and top it off or should I just top off with some pure water?

I figured it wouldn't be because it is still a relatively low temp for the aluminum/S.S and nowhere close to range needed to change the microstructure, just figured it is always good to ask.

Seems like putting a 212+ F pot into 32 F water could cause a good bit of shock on the aluminum/S.S. Is this anything to worry about? Should it be steeped down to 32 F water?

I love the sig! Too true...

Wow, that is super easy, thanks woozy! I will definitely be making both now. It's much cheaper and allows me to control that much more of the recipe. Cheers!

Okay that answers my question, thanks! So I could essentially make the syrup with water and sugar?

I want to do a Belgian Golden Ale for my second brew and I looking at some recipes and most call for around 2 lb Golden Belgian Candi Syrup and I was wondering if table sugar would have the same effect?

Very handy, and simple! Thanks!

On this forum, I would assume U.S. gallons unless otherwise noted, as said previously.

Thanks guys.

Well, what's done is done I suppose. Just seed very odd that two samples from the same batch could taste so different.

They are put away, and I will leave them be. But, for future reference, was I correct in not stirring the beer when siphoned into the bottling bucket? Or should have it been stirred?

Just bottled my first batch, it was the classic American light kit from mr. beer. It was a two gallon batch so I boiled 0.3 cups of sugar (converted to tablespoons) in 1 cup of water, let it cool and put it in my bottling bucket. Next, I siphoned my beer into the bucket with the tube in a spiral...

Awesome, thanks guys!
