Thanks everyone. Think I will just get some DME when I am ready to brew. All your input was helpful!

So I have been brewing for bout 2 years and only used dry yeast. I will be trying liquid for the first time soon. I have a question about growing up the yeast. I am currently brewing a beer today. I made a little extra wort that won't fit into the fermentor. If I bottle the wort (no hops, yeast...

I also live in a small apartment. I make 3 gallon batches because a 3 gallon carboy will fit in an average cooler with an air lock attached. Once or twice a day I rotate large cooler ice bricks . Keeps the cooler right around 64. Remember, that is the temp in the cooler. The temp inside the...

Thanks all, great info. Question answered.

I have been reading a lot about cider making on this site and I am interested in trying it out soon so I can have something ready for the fall. There is one thing I am not quite sure about. I have been making beer for about 18 months now. I have the process down and know what to expect. The only...

Made this over the weekend. Stayed true to the original except I had to use S-04. LHBS was out of 05. Kind of disappointing. We will see how it turns out.

so here it is. Two weeks conditioning in the bottle. Very nice beer. Exactly what I expected. Similar to Yards ESB, just a little maltier.

Brewed my first beer that I discovered on this app. Came out great so far. Just bottled it and the taste I got from the sample was really good. Love this site. Need to get something into the Carboy soon. Can't decide between a black IPA or a stout. What do you guys think. Btw, the recipe I just...

Sorry about the half full glass. But that's all that I could get after bottling the rest. I will try to get a better pic when it's done being conditioned

So I just bottled this tonight. I went with Marris Otter l, medium crystal and 120L American crystal. My LHBS didn't have dark English crystal. I have only been brewing for less then a year and this is my first ESB. I made 3 gallons . I had a little left over and chilled it after taking it from...

Good luck

I put my 3 gallon batches in my sink with ice and water. Like Wilser said, just make sure you have enough ice. I live close to a convenience store so when I ran out the first time I tried it I just walked there and picked up and extra 7 Lbs of ice.

Butt head

I wish I had something to say about brewing. It's been so darn hot this summer that I haven't brewed since early June. My next brew will be "common room". Looks like a winner. I have only been brewing for 8 months and haven't tried to make an ESB yet.

Good evening hbt. Just found this post. I am always on late night during the weekends. I see the most recent talk is about jobs. I just recently started a new job. I left a small business. The owner was getting older and I didn't work well with his son. An opportunity came up and I just started...
