They do - Falconer's Flight. I just hadn't gotten to the point of forgetting that one yet. Give me a week or two! Dave

Well, since this is basically a recipe kit, I'm going to stick to it but thanks for the ideas to hop it up - I would likely enjoy the result! I went ahead and added the 1 oz. of Willamette at about the 48hr point. I really like the AHS kits but the instructions on this one had the timing...

So brewed my second extract batch the other night - AHS's Day IPA. Here's what I was supposed to do: 1oz Nugget at 60" 1oz Galena at 15" 1oz Willamette at 0" I added the Nugget and Galena but forgot the Willamette at the end. At 36 hrs, it started showing some yeast action. Been...

This is the standard "basic siphon". Indeed the leak was from poorly fitting tubing. Unfortunately, multiple clamps and the safety wire didn't fix it. I thought I had it fixed when testing it as the leaking was greatly reduced when playing in the Starsan. Then again when transferring to the...

Digging up an old thread because other beginners need to beware. Bought the AHS basic siphon kit with many other things to get started. Just bottled my first batch and think I ruined it after 3 weeks in primary. My siphon would suck in air at the top where the pickup meets the tubing...

Nice job! How did you come out on budget? Dave KC

Makes sense. Thanks

Thanks guys. I have it in the basement so I'm thinking in the low 70s temp range - certainly above 17C(62F). We're having outdoor temps mid 90s this week! I'm sure not ready to mechanically temp control my fermentation at this stage so I'm afraid keeping a pale ale at 60F is out of the...

Not to hijack but what is the benefit to doing this rather than getting it into the fermentor the same day? Dave

Cool. Should I plan on waiting the three weeks or start taking SG readings earlier? Thanks, Dave

My EPA(from an AHS extract kit) has been in primary for about 3 1/2 days. Yeast was 11 gms of dry Windsor. My concern is that, after an explosion of activity at about 18hrs, airlock activity had basically stopped at the 36hr check. Now the beer is about clear on day 3. I was planning on...

I love hoppy beers but the up-front piney taste overtook me. My wife said it tasted like Pinesol was added. Noticed it with the Urban PA but obviously not as much. One man's pine is another man's nut! Jmo, Dave

Thanks for the reassurance. Yes, sorry, it was extract DME and LME combo. I alternated pouring top off and wort for that reason and also shook well at intervals as I had read about the mixing problem. Guess I should just "relax and let it ride"! Appreciate the quick help, guys, Dave

So brewed my first batch today. Been reading a while and have a friend that does AG. Yesterday I did a dry run to sanitize, gather equipment, check volumes, workflow in the kitchen, etc. I used a kit from AHS - the English Pale Ale(8C). Did a partial boil today and had no issues. Chilled in...
