The instructions for Northern Brewer's kits say that all their recipes allow for two weeks in the primary, two weeks for bottling, with the remaining "ready time" being the amount of time the beer should stay in the secondary fermenter. Is that accurate? By that logic, the six month ready time...

This happened to me today. I made the Northern Brewer's barleywine recipe. I was supposed to hit 1.082 for my OG, but the reading was 1.070. I don't know what I did wrong. Everything really seemed to go well and the temperatures were perfect. The boil was good, cooling was good, and...

I'll be brewing the Northern Brewer barleywine extract kit Sunday morning, and I will be hosting a Super Bowl gathering for the game. I can't wait to see what kind of beer my beer geek friends bring over! :mug: I stocked up at the beer store yesterday. Seeing how my first batch is still...

Maybe we should call you a South Windsorite.

Thank you! BTW, I work in Springfield.

Greetings!! Just wanted to say hello before bombarding this place with questions. I am very new to homebrewing. My wife picked me up a starter kit from Northern Brewer for Christmas. I brewed my first batch the other day: a double IPA extract kit. It went mostly ok, though I made a...
