What what would be a good sub for mutueka and sorachi? They don't have them on Midwest or Austin home brew

Used bkf and to pot looks perfect now

Tested th pot with a magnet. It is an aluminum pot.

I borrowed this pot from a friend, he has cooked crawfish in it before. I have scrubbed it really good but there are some spots on it (see pic). Is this going to cause any off flavors? I boiled some water in it earlier and tasted it after it had cooled and it tasted normal.

I bought the SN pale ale clone kit from AHB. I also ordered some Amarillo pellet hops that I am planning on dry hopping with. Would this be a good idea or should I just leave them out. The hops used in the kit are 1 oz perle for 60 mins, 1 oz cascade last 15, and .5 cascade at 0 mins.

It tasted kinda dry and a strong alcohol taste. The OG was around 1045 and FG was about 1008-1006. It's the coopers lager kit. Well bottle conditioning help this and is it normal?

Yeah I did all that stuff right, and I only used a couple clear bottles so I could see how cloudy the beer was, and I know it was done fermenting. I was just wondering why there are already bubbles in the beer right after I bottled it.

I bottled it up today and i have a few questions. i wanted to make sure my sediment looked right (pic 1). http://i.imgur.com/MJSaj.jpg" alt="" title="Hosted by imgur.com Also my beer is still pretty cloudy but it has been the primary for 2 weeks. http://i.imgur.com/2dZtI.jpg" alt=""...

Awesome thanks for the info

Used the dry yeast that came with the coopers kit

Coopers lager isn't really a typical lager, it uses a dry ale/lager blend yeast I think.

Well I have a stick on thermometer on the fermenting bucket that reads 72 ambient temp is prob around 68

Yeah I will make sure I have a smaller boil next time. Also the beer is fermenting at about 72 degrees, is this too high?

Awesome now I can go to bed and not worry haha

Been reading for a couple week now and today I finally brewed my first homebrew today and everything went pretty good but the only thing Im worried about is that when I was heating everything up I never got to a boil but im pretty sure it was very close. Will this affect my brew? Another thing...
