Well, I've finished up my first beer! It was a Munton's Gold Docklands Porter kit that I gave an extra addition of chocolate malt. It scared me a little by sticking for a day or two at 1.020, but I swirled the bucket and all turned out well. Still tastes a tiny bit green but overall quite good...

Mmmm, tasty.

Not too bad for my first attempt I think.

I just sent an email to the company today. I'll post again if I get a response. They say that they respond within 2 hours, but I bet they mean during regular business hours. :D

I have a fermenter that doesn't bubble at all because it doesn't always seal completely. Use a hydrometer. I start taking measurements every 2-3 days after at least a week, maybe 2. When they're the same 3-4 days in a row, it's done fermenting. However I'd leave it in the primary at least a week...

That gravity action shot is hawt. :D

Thanks a ton for all the suggestions. The butcher block is a personal favorite, especially with my background in kitchens. Now I just need to distill all this down to an idea as well as brew up enough beer for trades! It works well enough with my ghetto corner weights for now, and I think I'm...

5 gallons of Apfelwein+ 5 gallons of Munton's Porter+ 7856= 7866

Cool! The only thing I liked about the lid was that it had a little light in it that came on when you opened it, but with the external thermostat cutting power to the freezer when it reached the proper temperature, most times it doesn't come on anyways when I open it so I suppose that's...

I say let the big guys be big and the little guys be little. I enjoy the look I get when the guys are drinking BMC and I crack open an Aventinus. I don't really want to be drinking the "popular" beer. Not to mention the feeling when one of the guys asks to try a bit, and you manage to convert...

Okay, sorry I'm having to ask this because it's probably pretty basic but I'm not very handy with building things, and a lot of you guys are. I got a chest freezer for free from work that probably holds about 8 cornies with room on the hump for a 5# co2 and various other things. I already...

Wow, I didn't know that spray-on chalkboard stuff existed. A whole new world of possibilities awaits me... :D

oh that makes much more sense now :)

I think my flash washed out the picture a little. It looks more tan. The yeast is always in a really thick foamy slurry afterwards. You should see the jug we keep it in when we refrigerate it. The 3 layers get way bigger, which confused me. Usually with you guys I see a top clear-brown layer and...

Aww, so cute! I used to have a beagle and found him in a similar state when I came home from work and found out he had opened the fridge AND the meat&cheese drawer. They're very smart dogs but only when it serves their own interests. Now I have Boston Terriers, which are goofier but not as...

We're done brewing beers for now at work, and the owner let me collect some of the slurry from the bottom of the fermentation tank to bring home and use for myself. It's been used for about 4 batches of beer total at work, with maybe a week in between each batch. Today I sanitized a Grolsch...

I harvested some yeasties from work, now to get them stored away!
