My next beer is going to be the NB Chocolate Stout. It comes with a lb of speciality grains for steeping. I'll probably do 1.5-2 gallons of preboil steeping, then fill up to 6 in my kettle for the boil.
Thanks for the info! If I understand you right, when I do my next extract batch and have steeping grains, I should only steep with the amount recommended by the recipe (2.5 gallons according to this batch), then after steeping fill up the boil kettle to 6.5?
Quick question, since I have a 10 Gallon boil kettle, I should be able to do the full 5 gallon boils vs the 2.5 as instructed on the NB recipe correct?
Hey Bob,
Yea, my first batch I was planning on fermenting in the garage, but this cold snap I had to tote it inside. Guess I should've brewed a lager! :)
No idea on any local shops. I'm a big fan of Swamphead Brewery there in G'ville. Have you been?
I'm in Winter Haven, right between Orlando and Tampa. Everything seems to be going alright 48 hours in, lots of activity in the air lock. I brewed the NB Extra Pale Ale extract kit.
I haven't been to the homebrew shop in Orlando, but I've ordered a couple of things from them.
Hey everyone, I'm Adam and have been reading these forums constantly since I got a NB Deluxe kit for xmas. Brewed my first batch on monday 1/2 and ready to brew some more!
