After the initial taste and smell test. Both brews tasted and smelt fantastic! I think I just may have to leave in the primary this long all the time. Even though the brew was not carbed and warm I could have had a few glasses it was that outstanding! So I guess the people on here who say to be...

Well, I just bottled the Chocolate Porter and to be quite honest it actually tasted better that the previous one I did when I only fermented for 2 1/2 weeks. So one down and I think itll be just fine!

Yeah I was getting a little confused on this also! I have read alot on hear about people saying the longer the better. So I had just left them in there with no worries. And today browsing through threads I have seen people saying not to leave in too long. Then my worrying began! I'm very proud...

Right on! Well Ill go forward with bottling and keep my fingers crossed! Thanks for the fast replies!

Hello, I have been slackin for a few months due to various reasons. So I'm bottling two batches today and both have been in the primary for a little over 2 months. One is a chocolate smoked porter the other is just an american light with honey added. I was wondering if these both will be ok...

Hello, well I was out last night and one of my local pubs had a brew on tap called Mudslinger. Well, I really enjoyed this brew! But I have never heard of it, so I'm not sure what it consist of. I was wondering if anyone has drank this and knows of a recipe to brew this. It was almost like a...

Midwest supplies has a kit called Peace Coffee Java Stout and its only like 30 bucks. I was thinking about ordering it myself. Its received some rave reviews!

HAs anyone brewed this and have a solid recipe? This really sounds tasty!

I was planning on leaving it at 30 psi for probably about 70 hrs. Sounds like I should maybe drop the pressure. Any suggestions on how I should leave it? I have had it under 30 psi for about 4 hrs already and by the time I leave it will be under 30 psi for about 18 hrs.

Hello, I'm new to kegging and I just want to make sure I do this right. First off i was told to store it between 38-40 degrees. Also to have the pressure at 30 psi for 40 hrs. Is this the best method? Also I just did that tonight (Wednesday) and we are going out of town, so I was wondering if...

by the way, I made that same beer and that was the best one so far!!!!

I had the same experience with my first one! Now I'm 5 batches in and I'm loving this! What a great hobby this is!!!

First off I have an American Amber Brewers Best Kit that I'm brewing today and I was wonder if anyone's had any experience mixing hazelnut extract flavor to it. I bought a 2 oz hazelnut extract flavor and was gonna add it before bottling, but before I do that, I'm beginning to wonder if that...

I am making the Wife her berry blonde and the kit has no instructions on when to add the extract. I have a secondary so should I just add the berry flavor when I transfer to the secondary? Sorry if this has been asked many times, but I just cant seem to find the answer. Thanks for any help.

Yeah, they are twist tops

I just want to make sure this is okay. My brew has been coming in through my airlock on my last two batches. It only happend when I poured my water shoulder high like the direction I got said to do. When I seen the airlock bubbling with brew in it I took it off and cleaned it then sanitised and...

Are the 6 gallon ones Ok to use as a primary? I picked up a 5 gallon one for a secondary, but I'm to impatient and ready for another primary.

I sure wish I had just a little of your patience. I'm on my 5th brew and I'm ready to go down to MLHBS and get another primary because I just cant wait! I have about 10 recipes I'm ready to brew right now!

By the way, I just looked on that site. Do you just add mint to the chocolate stout? Thats something I definitely wanna do on black Friday!!

yum! Mint chocolate stout. Well, I was gonna brew a nut brown but if I could get an easy recipe for that, things might change. Ive only made three batches, which were all kits, but I would love to make that if you had an easy recipe. Maybe an all extract with some steeping grains.
