Sounds like a no-go on the Cooper... Sucks because that was $7 in yeast got substituted in and now I may have to take an hour and a half out of my day to go to the LHBS, put off my brewing, and spend more money :( I would have rather waited for the right thing i.e. what I ordered.
not happy...
I got my 2 All-Grain kits from AHS the other day and was planning on brewing this weekend but just noticed niether came with the right yeast.
I got a Stone IPA and Arrogant bastard kit, somewhat expensive kits at $41 and $44 respectively. The IPA called for double pitched Safale US-05 and...
I just brewed this and popped my All-Grain Cherry :)
Now for the bad news.... LEARNING CURVE....
OG 1.044 :( Looks like it will be 5% ABV instead of 6% if I'm not mistaken

FWIW: I'm...
Mine will be 5 weeks this Saturday and still isn't clear or done! Just took an SG and it looked like 1.009 still! Small bubbles just keep running up the side too, luckily I started another 2 weeks after this one :)
I just got my kegging kit and a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone kit from MidWest along with the Wyeast Propagator smack pack.:ban:
This is my first time using a Propagator pack and it mentions making a starter with 3.5oz of DME but the recipe kit only has LME and grains??
Anyone know what I...
I just ordered a 2 Corny kegging kit like the one listed above for me it was cheapest from Midwest and I'm in MA like you... for under $260 I got the kegging setup shipped and a nice Sierra Nevada Clone Kit :) I'm hoping it'll be here by this weekend!

My first 5 gal batch was 3 weeks old yesterday and is still fermenting away... So for giggles I made a 6 gal batch yesterday :) I am anticipating good things and have a long list of friends patiently waiting...
