Anyone interested in a can of pre-aged malt extract? http://cgi.ebay.com/Jacob-Grahek-Lady-Luck-Malt-Extract-Syrup-FULL-Can-WOW_W0QQitemZ6281251563QQcategoryZ569QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I bet anything made with this stuff would end up only slightly more palatable than prison...

So I decided to pick up a couple of cases over the weekend::D I was really looking for the DFH 120, but the distributor only had the 60 and 90...that's fine though, I'm sure the 120 would have cost me an arm and a leg (the 90 was $51 after tax). The Great Divide Sampler has four different...

Hey guys, I cooked up my first starter on Sunday night for the IPA I plan on brewing this evening. I boiled 1c. of extra light DME in just over a quart of water, cooled to 80F, transferred to a 1/2 gallon growler, and pitched my yeast (Wyeast 1028 - London Ale). After pitching, I realized that...

Hey guys, just a quick sanitation question...I just recently started using Star-San (before I was using C-Brite), and I was just wondering how long it stays "good". Can it be stored and used for multiple batches, or is it sort of a "one-and-done" product? Also, as I'm sure you're aware, it...

Hey guys, I just finished working out the details for my 3rd brew. I've decided to do a IPA, so I wanted to get some input to see if there's anything I should tweak/change to make a better beer. I'm looking to get a clean, crisp, balanced IPA that has good hop characteristics without being...

Hey guys, I just racked my second batch to primary (Red Ale). I just wanted to see if you guys think my logic is correct as to why I missed my OG. According to my recipe, the target was 1.054, and I came up about .01 short of that (reading was 1.040 at 78 degrees, temp adjusted comes out to...

Hey guys, another quick yeast question for you. My recipe called for Wyeast 1335 (British Ale II), but the guy at my LHBS gave me Wyeast 1275 (Thames Valley). Any input on the differences (if any) that this might make on my final brew? I'm making a Canadian Red Ale (Yukon Arctic Red Clone)...

Just a general question about Wyeast Smack Packs, which has probably been asked already, but here goes anyway: I want to brew tomorrow night, but by the time I get home from work I wont have enough time to activate the smack pack and allow it to expand fully. Can I activate it tonight...

Hey guys, went out with some friends last night and came across this beer: Hedonism Ale (Legacy Brewing, Reading, PA) Wickedly tasty red ale packed with a full aroma from dry hopping and a massive hop flavor. Specially brewed with all European malts and West Coast whole flower hops. The...

I just cracked open the first bottle of my first brew, a Nut Brown Ale. I bottled last Tuesday, 3/27, so it has been bottle conditioning for about 9 days. It's got a very nice malt profile and a good hop taste, but unfortunately it seems to be lacking the desired carbonation. I got a nice...

Hi all, I'm new to the site and a fairly new homebrewer, so I apologize if threads similar to this have been posted before...or if this is just a ridiculously stupid question. I'm a partial mash brewer, and the recipe for my next brew (my 2nd) uses a combination of DME and LME. My first batch...
