Well, I havn't brewed a batch since beginning of June, due to basement temps being in the 70's, and I prefer to ferment in the low 60's max. I have since built a fermentation chamber (took me a while to finally do it) and today is the first nice day this week. So, I decided to finally get the NB Sierra Madre extract kit I have had since june going.
And, I remembered why I HATE DME. Always foams up a lot, I lost a tiny bit of water/DME to a little bitty boil over (I try to get as much water in my 5gal pot as I can, so as to have the lightest beer possible for any given style). Not that I really care about color as long as the taste is good.
This will be my 4th NB kit, and 4th overall batch. Love NB and their kits are awesome. I will be ordering my 3rd American Wheat kit very soon, its a smash hit (to say the least) with my family and my girlfriends family, and I love when family is happy. I of course enjoy the American Wheat a lot, too...
I hope I get the boil/cooling in before it rains. Its clear now, but the sky is getting questionable...
