Well my first batch was successful! My brew was ready the day before the Superbowl. It was nice to not have to run out Saturday night to pick up beer for Sunday. My friends who tried it out liked it too. It was cool to see how the taste changed from week one to week 3. I think the Star San...

I just uncapped my first HomeBrewed American Blondie and it was awesome. I have only had them in bottles for about a week, but I want to drink one a week to see (taste) what is going on with the brew. I noted a few things: The classic carb sound is there, but a little faint The head is...

It is topped off, and I have ben changing the water in the sink. I just wanted to make sure it is alright to let it sit for a while not covered. I need to invest in a chiller for my next brew in a week or so.

HAve my second brew, Pilsner Ale, sitting in the sink chilling right now. It has been chilling for about 40 min, and it is still at 90 degrees. It should be fine to wait right? I am using 05 yeast that has a range of 59-75, and I am out of ice.

I am learning patience. Will probably start another batch later on this week. Any member have a online store that you know of? I need to get a new kit, and want to give the business to someone on here. My local store (hour away) is only open Thursday and Friday.

This is the American Blonde I have in the primary for a little over week. With the advice from some of the members here, I am not going to siphon to a secondary. Hopefully this will turn out. BTW, collecting bottles has been a lot of fun! If anyone needs any help, send me full bottles and...

I appreciate all the help. I am supposed to be working right now, but with all the good info on here I may not be able to find the time to.

Thanks. I have an American Blondie going. The only reason I want to rack to a secondary is because I want a good clear color, and really I just want to see the siphon work:). If I skip the secondary, will it effect the color since this is a lighter ale? Thanks for helping the new guy.

Got my first home brew in the fermenter Saturday afternoon. I can't wait to move it next Saturday to my secondary. When I am siphoning to my carboy, I guess it is ok to take the top off the fermenter to start my siphon? How does oxygen not get to the wort if i take the top off the bucket?
