Roger. The CMC has the names but Charlie Oscar just swapped, so we'll see next week. In the mean time I'll have a cold one. Thanx for your help David, would have stressed alot without the guidance. R/Cam

My second brew, an IPA, did the same thing. After 36 hours I was panicking. After 48 it was going crazy. Let it ride man:rockin:

Just drew a pint from my second batch, an IPA, it is freaking awesome!!!!! I hadn't brewed in several years, and then only two kit beers, but I sure did this time! I brewed two batches initially, a day apart. The first was a nut brown and it was decent, although a little sweet. I was waaaay...

Brine does for sure. When I cool my wort I cool it in the sink with ice and plenty of salt. It seems to get mighty col, colder than ice water alone anyway. R/Cam

Pretty cool Bro! I hadn't brewedin about 5 years since the last time, and I recently started again. I am ate up with it pretty bad now. I have brewed three in the last six weeks and hopefully I'll get a couple more done this week and can slow down, and drink some soon! It is a good time...

I pieced my gear together from my LHBS and it came out slightly under the cost of thier "Starter Kit". I did add in another 6.5 carboy and a few other little bits and pieces. All told I spent about $125 for 2 of the carboys, 5ft hose, a couple of airlocks, a carboy cap, bottle filler, caps...

Kegged it.

PLEEEEEEZE!!!! I think my Sweety might like that one:D R/Cam

Muchos Gracias Gents! I have done some reading and will prolly wash it out soon. The monkey on my back was too heavy and I tried a small bit of the nut brown ale in the corny earlier. Of course it is still flat as can be, but tasted pretty well. I have read enough of David's posts to know...

In a normal 5g batch, how much Irish moss goes in? Is it recipe type based or a standard (relatively) amount? R/Cam

Hey Folks, What a day! I finally finished my nut brown ale today (first time brewing in almost five years), and racked into a corny:mug: I also transferred my IPA from primary to secondary. Now that I have an open carboy I'll brew again tomorrow, I think a red of some sort. Anyhow, I...

This is kinda funny for me as I posted the same worry about a week or two ago. Mine was a thin ring of the bubbles around the edge of the wort. I was so into the throes of worrying that I took pictures and posted 'em for folks to look at. I'll say this about the people that frequent these...

That's what I'm asking Saint Nick for this year :mug:

That's the same thing that has happened to my nut brown ale. I have had it secondary for 10 days now. I checked it this AM and it has dropped .007. That puts me at 1.013, only 1 or 2 more and I'll rack into a keg. It is a slow process (relativle, of course), but it seems to be chugging along...

I found a spot, $20. I don't mind paying that, but if I can find it cheaper I'd rather save some $$$$. Thanx for good gouge.

Sorry folks, I thought I was in a different section (too much HB while typing I suppose). Thanx for pointing me back to the straight and narrow. From the replies I gather it will be relativly painless at the counter. Thanx for you help and insight. Hope everyone has a great week!! R/Cam

to have a 5lb bottle filled? This is my first run at barrelling the brew and I just received my bottle. I am assuming (from my MIG experience) that it will run around $20, is this relatively close? R/Cam

Seen it, ignored it. All was well.

I concur. I have'nt HB in a few years and just recently started, so I may be stepping outside of my box. However, I never used a WC previously, and am not using one now. I have never brewed bad beer, and alothough it is inevitable that sooner or later I will, I don't forecast the wort pre-pitch...

Gracias HB experienced one (only meant respectfully)! I figured I was just burning calories on nothing, but I wanted to be sure. The folks on this board have been EXTREMELY helpful, you certainly have. I have the ingredients for another brew (IPA) ready to go for this weekend. My sweety...
