I've got a question regarding late extract additions. I'm sure either way is fine (yeah yeah, RDWHAHB :) ), but is the proper technique to keep the timer running after a late addition even though the wort stops boiling? I've done a couple of recipes that call for late additions and it usually...

I'm gearing up to brew the Bell's Two Hearted clone that Northern Brewer sells. Rather than buying the kit, I went to my local homebrew shop and tried to compile the ingredients. It's an extremely simple recipe, but I had some issues with what LME to get, seeing as how the kit calls for...

Pumped to try this. Total noob question here: for the extract brew, you guys are all using 3 cans of Munton's Light, correct?

Whipping up batch #2 of this as we speak! I'm pretty new to homebrewing, but I've got 5 drinkable beers right now that I've been giving out to co-workers and friends and this beer has by far been the favorite for pretty much everyone. Hopefully round 2 goes as well as the first!

Ha, my first batch is bottle conditioning so I can't!

I brewed my second batch, a Belgian Tripel kit, 2 weeks ago and racked to my secondary this past Thursday night. Everything had gone fine, gravities were checking out, the color looked right, and the sample I had wasn't too terrible. Anyway, the next morning I snuck a peak of the beer and saw...
