Selling my STC 1000 already to go. Listed on ebay.... item number 261721718627.

The Irish is a 1.046. The imperial is a 1.086.

Still newbie on extract kits so bear with me. I am thinking of brewing a MWS Irish stout and using the S04 that comes with the kit. I was then planning on brewing their imperial stout and dumping it right onto the trub cake left behind by the Irish on the day that I rack it. Good idea?

Brewing a Midwest Copper Ale as we speak. I have some extra light dme laying around. At what point can I add a cup of that? Is it added at fermentation time?

Alright... pitched and stored. Everything went smooth for being my second time. This one is Midwest's Hex Nut Brown Ale. Can't wait.

Awesome... thanks for the quick response to this newbie.
