Just down the road in stapleton. just moved from 31st and gaylord a few weeks ago...

Thank you all for your responses. I'm just gonna put it in a corner of the basement and try to forget about it until at least June. I think I'll stick to the more normal gravity beers until I gain some experience with this whole thing. Got a nice pale ale in the fermenter now. I won't...

Thanks. This is reassuring. I think I'll take your advice and wait a month before trying another one. They're in bombers so it's quite waste of beer to open one and not even be able to drink it. The first one took me about 4 hours. I did not use a starter; just pitched out of the vial...

I posted on here a few weeks ago about an Imperial IPA I brewed. When I added to the carboy after boiling, I couldn't get an OG because the wort was so thick, it wouldn't mix with the water for a few days (despite vigorous shaking). So, I have no OG. The recipe I used had 10 pounds of LME, a...

Hey all, This site has been a life saver. I've only brewed 2 batches, but I've been on here about 40 times! Number one lesson learned: RDWHAHB (even though I often Relax Don't Worry and Have a Commercial Beer since I live in the Microbrew capital of the world). Thanks for everyone's...

Thanks for the beer calculus link. That site is great! Although it did make me worry that my beer won't be hoppy enough! It gave me an IBU of 49.6. With that much malt, I don't think I added enough hops... Oh well...RDWHAHB.

I'm sorry I wasn't complete. Started with 1.5 gallons to boil. Had 2.5 gallons of cold water in the carboy, to which I added the wort. I then topped off the carboy with more cold water. I had 5 gallons in the carboy before i pitched the yeast. I mixed as best as I could but it ain't easy...

I think the wort was just so thick and so hot that it wouldn't readily mix with the water. When I poured that hot (but not still boiling) wort into the car boy, it sliced right through the water and went straight to the bottom. I'm thinking that next time I will boil the LME in more water...

Thanks to all of you for your help! I used the original 1 pound of crystal grains that the recipe called for and I added a pound of Maris Otter grains.

Hi all, I searched the forum but could not find what I'm looking for. I'm new to this, and just brewed my second batch of beer a couple of days ago. My first batch was an IPA kit from my local homebrew store. While I liked it, I wanted to make a bigger beer this time around. As such, I...
