I brewed the BB Red Ale about two months ago and used the White Labs Irish Ale yeast. It turned out OK. A little maltier than my taste. I have friends who love it though.

Got any pics?

Thanks guys. I've always used secondary and never had this happen before so I got a little worried. If it's still fermenting then I've leave it in the secondary an extra week. "Not only do you need to take out the trash and recycling, you also appear to have something fermenting in your glass...

Went into the basement to check things out and saw this: I've never seen this before. I looked up close and I didn't see any solids in the "clumps". They're just bubbles in clusters. FYI. The two carboys are not the same batch. They're both stouts but a week apart. The one in...

I hear taking Vitamin B supplement helps too.

Thanks for the help. I think I will send them an email for a 5 gal batch recipe. The worse thing they can say is "no" right. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks Again DM

A local brewery makes this at christmas time. It's an awesome beer! But it's like $50 a case (ouch). They were so nice to post the ingredients. http://www.troegs.com/beers_elf.htm Can somebody get me a recipe for a 5 gal batch? I would like an extract w/ grain recipe and an AG one to...

Looks yummy!

I just ordered one.

My first batch was the Homebrewheaven Wizard's Wheat kit "Approximate Starting Gravity: 1.050 Approximate Ending Gravity: 1.014 Wizard’s Wheat Ingredient Kit Instructions Wizard’s Wheat is a light straw colored, tangy beer that is similar to that made in Southern Germany. It is...

I went to see it and I loved it! I think it's a tie with Super Troopers and better than Club Dread. It is def geared for college students and anyone with a raunchy sense of humor. Das Boot! Boot in German actually means "boat" and 'Das Boot' was a really F-ed up old book/movie in Germany...

Where abouts? I'm from New Bloomfield which is about 30 north of Harrisburg. What local shop did you go to? I have yet to find one.

Thanks. I was eying that kit yesterday but I wasn't sure how it would turn out without using lager yeast. I don't think dad is using the fridge in his garage/shop for anything I'll see if I can borrow it.

Looking to start my second batch and about time to start an Oktoberfest!! Any recommedations for a good kit? Do all Oktoberfests need to be Lagered? This weekend I'm going to make a fermentation cooler (if time will allow and be cooled by ice containers) but since it's been around 90...

The Plot thickens... Note: I haven't touched it yet. This morning I saw some action, about one bubble every 5 seconds. I guess the yeast was just a late bloomer. So now what do I do? Throw in the Nottingham yeast or just let her go?

^^ Yeah I know. I'm def gonna be making starters from now on.

As mentioned in my previous thread see here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=11887 I used the wyeast 3068. I smacked the pack about 3 hours prior to pitching. Now it's been a full week and nothing. Not a single bubble. So what should I do? I have a pack of Nottingham dry...

I vote #1. I think it would be better if the the gold bordering was wider tho. Both are nice!

Thanks Guys!!

Has anyone tried to make one? I have a bunch of 3" thick starafoam (sp?) slabs I want to build a box big enough I can put my primary and seconday fermentors in. I just need some kind of AC unit with a thermostat. Anyone have an idea where I can get one?
