Hi all, I am looking to brew an amber pumpkin ale and most of the recipes I find use 6-row in them. I now live in England and have not been able to find any 6-row on the UK brewing supplies websites, unless they call it something else over here. Would there be a good substitution for it that...

I add the camden tablet and wait 24 to 48 hours then back sweeten then watch to make sure additional fermentation is not happening.

Has anyone had any experience with any of the Homebrewers Outpost kits? I just bottled this kit and it tastes pretty good. A little time in the bottle and it should be better.

Just an FYI, when I lived in Hawaii my parents sent me some Skullsplitter in a flat rate box through USPS. One of the bottles broke in transit. USPS taped up the damage and nothing was ever said about it.

I'm not a paying member and I can see the photos just fine. Very nice build by the way!

I have a Brewers Outpost aspen ale going right now. It has been fermenting for about a week and a half. OG was 1.055, I have not checked to see what the gravity is right now. I will probably let it sit until Saturday before bottling.

Welcome to HBT. You will find a wealth of information here on the forums.

I see im not the only one who likes sniffing the airlock. I just love to sit there and watch it bubble. My wife gets a kick out or the sound effects I make when I see a bubble in the airlock.

The Coopers can kits, I assume is what you are talking about, are no boil kits. I dont think you hurt it by boiling though. Did you take a hydrometer reading before you pitched the yeast, if so what was your starting gravity? as far as the water in the airlock goes, was it tap water or did it...

How much brown sugar and was it light or dark brown sugar?

Ok, I am thinking of making the Sicky Wicket Oatmeal Stout Mr. B kit. I want to bump the ABV up a little so I was thinking of adding a little DME and I also wanted to use Wyeast Irish Ale yeast instead of the yeast that comes with the kit. Would this be ok or am I reaching a little too far on this?

All we had in Iraq was NA beer. It doesn't alter the flavor that much because it doesn't have that much flavor.

I just pitched on a northern brew alpine ale.

I have 5 gallons of Alpine ale planned for as soon as I get home.

If I mixed up some sanitizer in a 5 gal home depot bucket a put a lid on it, how long would it stay good for?

not trying to hijack the thread, but I bought a nylon mesh bag from my LHBS for the hops. Is this useful fro pellet hops or was it a wasted expense?

Read, read and then read some more. I am getting started on my first batch this week, but I have been reading as much as I can before I get started.

If you didn't catch the series on TV then you can get all five episodes on iTunes for $9.99. Discover kept moving the schedule around so I didn't get to see all the episodes.

Just a question. Could you re-pitch to finish out fermentation?

You know, its funny you mention that. We have discussed what we were going to do after I retire from the military, still have 8 years left. The thought of starting our own business has come up several times. Last night she mentioned opening a micro brew/restaurant. It was her idea, so from now...
