Thanks for the feedback. This batch is happily gurgling away in the carboy making good stuff. I'll see in a few weeks if there is much of a difference in flavor.

Ok, I was happily brewing my first attempt at Midwest's Irish Stout and doing my usual (follow the recipe but make mistakes) and after I'm done and cleaning up I find I've left out the gypsum?:drunk: Soooo, does anyone know what's the best thing for me to do? And what will it taste like...

Matthew 18:6 (The Message) 6-7"But if you give them a hard time, bullying or taking advantage of their simple trust, you'll soon wish you hadn't. You'd be better off dropped in the middle of the lake with a millstone around your neck. Doom to the world for giving these God-believing children...

I enjoy GUINNESS Extra Stout and was trying to decide which stout kit to try from the various brew suppliers and was looking to see if anyone had tried the dry Irish stout from northern brewer?

I'm in the process of planning my next brew and I really enjoy Guinness Extra Stout. Does anyone know of an extract kit that would be close?

I needed to clarify that the first batch with the dry yeast did not over foam but the last two with the White labs did. So could that be the problem?

I was talking to my son tonight about this problem and he reminded me that the first batch I used Munton's 6 gm dry yeast and the last two I used White Labs British Ale 005 pichable tube. Think that might be it?

I believe it was in the primary for 3 weeks and secondary for about 2

I tried the room temp glass freshly rinsed and slow pour but the same head. It tastes great just takes a while to get it in the glass. I did not record the gravity of the brew sorry.

what affect does the amount of priming sugar have on the beer?

I use a fill stick and fill to the rim then pull it out leaving a space for expansion.

I guess I was following the example from resterants with the frosted glasses. What is BMC?
