    I think my first beer is done

    It is hard to be patient even when you've got several batches under your belt! I've always do 1 week in primary, 2 weeks in secondary and 3 weeks in the bottle. That final 3 weeks were killers so I started kegging and shorten up the whole process by 2 weeks!

    Hops in Primary fermentation?

    I brewed my first lager 2 weeks ago. When I chilled my wort and poured it into my primary fermentator, I did not strain out the hops (I never have for that matter) and left it in the primary. I checked the gravity at day 12 and it was finished with fermentation and was a nice light color and...

    Saflager S-23

    I checked the gravity this morning (Thursday, day 12) and it was at a 1.012. It is about 2 points more than what I'd expected but it appears that S-23 did a great job. It tastes good too!

    Starter?

    I've never done a starter, just added dry yeast to wort and let her go. I purchased a 1000 ml flask and some dry malt with an airlock. The instructions that came with the kit all use smack packs or liquid yeast to make the starter. I have dry packets. How do I make a starter with dry yeast?

    Two stage cold fermentation - Lagers

    I plan to brew my first lager (bock - extract kit) this weekend and I'm not exactly sure what the "2 stage cold fermentation" procedures are. I have an old refridgerator with a temp control so cold temperatures are not a problem. My questions: 1) Do I do my primary at regular temps...

    2-stage cold fermentation?

    Up to this date, all I've ever brewed has been ales. I'm considering lagers and am unfamiliar with it's fermentation processes. Can anyone point me toward a link for instructions for 2-stage cold fermentation? :mug:

    OOPS! Frozen Kegs!

    We recently had some -10 deg F weather here. My kegerator is in an unheated, unattached garage. I dug through the snow today and tried to draw a beer. It seems that my kegs froze in the kegerator. Will this effect my beer?
