Just made it again and it is delicious! It taste way better after I let it age for an extra week. WOW.

I'm looking for one too.

Turned out great! Doesn't taste exactly like Young's but very close. Everyone who has tried it is impressed and I'm surprised it taste has good as it does. Thanks everyone for you advice and input.

Thanks, ya I might get one of those. My HBS has a bottle gun for 80 bucks but I've already spent so much money making my AG system. So I'm really on the budget now.

Remember though, I double the amounts since I did a 10g.......Thanks! Youngs Double Chocolate Stout Clone Batch Size (Gal): 5.00 Wort Size (Gal): 5.00 Total Grain (Lbs): 9.06 Anticipated OG: 1.051 Plato: 12.60 Anticipated SRM: 29.7 Anticipated IBU: 34.9 Grain/Extract/Sugar % Amount Name...

10g makes 90-100 12oz beers right? So $66/100 = .66 Anybody have a good technique for bottling from a pony keg so that the bottles keep the same level of carbonation as from tap. Mine seem to be perfect on tap but lacking on the co2 from the bottles. And I don't know why. And I'm not...

They have them at a local liquor store near my house called Ray's for $2.99ea Way expensive considering I'm making 10g for $66 so about .60 a beer. Also I know Bevmo carries them in four packs. Cheers!

Ok thanks! So it's actually probably higher than 2.5% because it really taste higher than that, I can for sure taste a high alcohol. I did not do a prefermentation gravity reading but I will for now on, now that I know the process. It taste good, prob just needs to age. ?oh and also...

i'll check tomorrow and if I'm still at 10.20 by Wednesday I guess It's done. And I'll keg it.

Thanks everyone. I set the Hydrometer in and it sinks down all the way to the 20 at the top. So...10.20?? It's near the top. Thats at the 0-5% alcohol content range about 2.5% not much but it smells good. It went strong for 4 days and it's only at 10.20, I'll try again tomorrow hopefully it...

What I mean is, every time I've brewed in the past (with the same yeast) I've had a layer of yeast cake on the top. And now when I do not see a very thick healthy yeast build up I am concerned for the beer. Cheers

Wait, I shouldn't be able to see the yeast on top?? So It's on the bottom then? I have a hydrometer but not exactly sure how to read it. There are no lines that move on it to tell me 10.60 or whatever. I usually let it go until it's done. Thanks

The temp on the Recipe was 68' F so I kept it there with a variance of 2 degrees +/-

Looked but couldn't find exact situation that I need help with. I tried a Young's Double Chocolate Stout Clone AG recipe I found in BYO magazine. Followed the recipe (but doubled it to be a 10g) pretty much minus a few extra sugars my HBS said I didn't have to have and it started...

SN's Celebration is alright. I live about 2 miles away from Sierra Nevada and am a big fan of what they do but have found more and more that their beer is overrated. I guess it's because I've been drinking it a lot for the last four years. Pale Ale is everybody's favorite by SN but I think...

AWESOME! I live down the street from that HBS. I'm bringing my keg there tomorrow to convert to a kettle. Great business, they are very knowledgeable. Primary: Amber Ale Keg: Porter "Why buy it when you can brew it better yourself"
