Messed up my brew routine today and added my LME to the pot immediately after steeping my specialty grains. Took 20 minutes to achieve a rolling boil. Anyone know what the affect would be of adding the LME before boiling instead of adding upon boiling?

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for he help man. We'll see if I can sleep tonight now. Its been awhile since my last brew day, ready to crank this one out

I have a Midwest liberty cream ale kit ready to brew tomorrow. It is extract and I am going to use the late addition method with my LME so I can get the right color. The original hop schedual is 1 oz 7.3AA Cascade @ 60min 1 oz 7.3AA Cascade @ 5 min I am fairly new at using the late extract...

Awesome thanks guys! Yeah I was just trying to figure out what he specialty grains were. Appreciate it.

So I had recently bought the liberty cream ale kit from Midwest and my friends loved it and I want more. I'm not trying to pay for all the shipping charges for the ingredients. I have everything I need to know for the recipe except what grains they gave me. They came in an unlabeled bag. Anyone...

Wow this looks great man! Thanks for the recipe. Going on the brew list for this weekend.

Thanks for the advice man. Been eyeballing that brown ale kit for awhile. Learned 2 things from this post. 1. Only 1/10 posts will answer your question 2. People aren't fans of humor on his forum

Thanks fellas. Def going with a cream ale next. Would be something new for me to brew. Looking forward to trying to make something a little lighter.

Hence the original post on suggestions to do so.... Looking for a recipe for spigheti O's haha

Also terrible way to start that post off REVY. Read about 2 sentences of that post and moved to the next. Very constructive. You don't have to post on everything... Leave the computer for awhile and get some fresh air

My brewing is most definitely based on my own preferences. I am a college student though and also enjoy the social aspect of brewing. My roommate and I just had an article in the school paper about our brewing so we are starting to get a lot of interest from people on campus. Tryin to make...

So far I have made an English pale ale, IPA, 2xIPA, APA, and a bells Oberon clone. All of these have turned out fantastic. The problem is many of my friends are sheep and mainly drink piss-like commercial beers. I have grown tired or watching their facial reactions when thy take their first...

Bottle brush with hot water to remove anything solid then soak in star San until pulled out to fill an cap

Looked through previous threads and couldn't find a real answer for my question... I pitched 1 vial of WL 001 into my 1.064 OG IPA 2 batches ago. I did not make a started (changed my ways) so I know it was under pitched. It took about 36 hours for fermentation to start, which I understand...

Yeah I read the stick about fermentation. Just wanted some more in depth information for my situation (with the exploding white labs on top of under pitching already). I am using a carboy for a primary and woke up this morning to my blow off tube full of krausen. Sorry for the repetition guys. I...
