My wife has been asking for me to do this for a while. Please let me know how this turns out, as my next OS blend is going to try this.

I would suggest doing some Extract batches, before you jump to all grain. Extract are mostly dummy proof and you learn the process of what we need to do. I'm going on my 6th extract batch and still learning. All Grain starts this summer for me. Do you live in the city or burbs?

My Russian Stout which is sitting there waiting.. for March to come.. I used 13.2lbs of LME and 1lb of DME.. Tasted fine before we threw in the yeast.

DocScott, What's your take on the Flight 7Cs hops? Used them once for my IPA but didn't dry hop it; just about to move to a new place and have a larger space for brewing.. IPA is one of the first ones I want to redo.

Are you letting it sit a while at that temp?

I got one kit under my belt; then went to my local home brew store, talked with them about getting something together for my first non-kit batch. I tend take Palmer recipes and tweak them.. then talk to my local homebrew store and see if I am on the right track or completely wrong.

I'm taking the mindset of letting my darker beers sit longer; 2 months before I even bottle.. 1 month in primary; 1 month is secondary.. then at least 2-3 weeks in the bottles. Also if you took good notes; look at what you can change and play around with it..

+3 How to Brew Brewing classic styles is another book I have and refer to often.

Ortho, Thanks for the tips; I did move the bottle closer to our heating system. I had them in our Sun Porch, which tends to be a little cooler. Moved them but, our APT tends to be closer to the higher 70's range.. We don't control our heat. War Eagle or Roll Tide?

Thanks Jpeebs, I might pick some of those up and play around see what happens. Have to make a run to the HomeBrew Store tomorrow for the next 2 batches.. so I will pick some up.

Backstory: Bottled my Oatmeal Stout on Dec 8th of this year; while going to bottle realized I didn't have exactly enough Priming Sugar. I was about 1/2oz off.. but everything was cleaned, wort moved to bottling bucket and lastly it was late so I decided how bad can it be? I opened a bottle...

Don't forget the priming sugar; right before you bottle. But as the other two said no need for more yeast.

Yeast was White Labs 001 Thanks Kepow; I need to "invest" in that. As for Temp control; my wife and I are buying are first house.. the basement is getting used as my brewing pit.. temp control for sure.

Making a batch of an IPA; OG was 1060; yesterday transferred to my secondary then took a reading.. gravity was 1003???:confused: Now I took the reading after I transferred it; not before. and I don't have temp control yet.. living in a apt. There were a couple of days last week that...

Thanks; I will give that a try next time..

My two cents; which is also a question I brought my wort for the IPA to a boil; turned the flame off added 1 3.3 lb LME and 1/2LB of DME; the boiled for 40 mins.. turned off flame added another 1/2lb DME and another 3.3 of LME; and boiled for another 20mins.. Beer is in Fermentation right now...

What are your thoughts on this book? Brewing Classic Styles I got turned onto to it; as a great place to start. I will look into picking your book recommend up in a couple of months; currently working through my technique.

Thanks for the BrewTarget; going that direction.

dziękuję for that site; going to help me answer some of my other questions!

I just brewed and sitting in fermentation my first IPA. This is only my 2nd batch ever.. With that said.. How can you determine the IBUs of the final product?
