    Good Flavor, Thin Body

    Yep, warmer has definitely been better. With more age it now tastes more of chocolate, not much of the roast character is left. I think my next step is going to be adding some oats. This recipe was made out of what I had on hand/gifted ingredients. Pilsen is all I had at the time.

    Weird Looking Lees

    Looks fine to me. If you are transferring to secondary, sneak a small sample and taste it if you are worried.

    How long do you let bottle condition?

    I agree with PADave^^ many beers taste very different as the warm up to room temps.

    Good Flavor, Thin Body

    Thanks for all the replies, I will definitely be going darker on the crystal and I like the sound of the golden naked oats. As for the rest of the batch some aging is definitely in order, its only 2 months old today.

    Good Flavor, Thin Body

    Just had the first bottle of my stout that I built from the ground up. The stout has a nice all round flavor, that even a non-stout drinker like my wife liked, but it tastes thin in the mouthfeel. Is it the recipe or just that I am only able to use extract brewing currently? Thank you in...

    Oops! Did I ruin my brew?

    Shouldn't be a problem, all the headspace in the fermenter should be CO2 by now. Especially if you are having to clean up blow off!

    What do you do with all your brew?

    My wife and I drink most of it, give away to friends and family about 10 to 15%. Depends on how many like the style.

    Cider scum

    First off, welcome to HBT! Second, I am no expert by any means yet, but it looks like some sort of infection. Hope someone else can chime in here!

    When to use blow-off tube

    Agreed, always use one, then you'll never have to be sorry.... or sleep on the couch in my case!

    Grain mill or Pump?

    I would say mill, one of the best investments I have made so far. Get a good quality if you do though.

    Cider with grains

    Never tried it, but sounds interesting!

    Looking good?

    Just looks like yeast on the top to me, leave it in primary, bottle when ready. Everything looks great! What style of beer and yeast did you use?

    Honey addition

    I agree with the flameout theory, i have done it and had no ill effects. You may loose some of the aromatics but the heat should kill the nasties.
