Just wondering if this yeast will work at 60F or if I should move my beer upstairs to where its 68-70? Made a starter and used 2 vials but not much activity in the carboy. Right, ingredients list and all the fun stuffs. OG was 1.090

Haha agreed. I ordered 1 1/2# of Crystal 60, 1 1/2 of Crystal 120, 11oz Brown malt, 11oz Chocolate, 6oz Black Barley and a Vial of WLP001. Just need it to get here so I can brew! ;) I have I think? 3? Shops near me, one doesn't really carry grain as they are more of a specialty beer shop...

Think I'll give Brewmaster and Northern Brewer a try. Thank you all for your help <3 :mug:

No, sadly it was AHS. Really I haven't tried many online retailers yet except AHS and Midwest? Really just trying to find the fastest place to order from. I may just drive to MD Friday and buy the few grains my other shop didn't have :D

I agree with the shipping thing :o

Austin is who I usually use. Use to be fast on the shipping too. Guess I need to find a substitute for Carastan so I can brew this weekend. :D

I usually shop locally but my shop was out of a few grains I needed and wanted to brew this weekend and ordered from one of the online retailers I've used before. Needless to say I ordered Monday and its still in processing.... So which online retailers are your favorite an why?

I have a few items for sell. The only reason I am selling these is because I'm moving from the US->Australia in about 3 months. First up is a 5 Gallon Igloo cooler Mash tun. Valve + Braided hose on the inside. Looking to get $40 shipped obo 4&#822;5&#822...

Its suppose to be a Smithwick's Clone from AHS. I mainly brewed it because its one of my Best friends favorite beers (hes coming home from Afghanistan in a couple months) I like the stuff myself so I'm sure if it turns out anywhere close it will be gone in a week. :cross:

HAHA yes it does. When it was first made it was alot straighter, but I have a bigger pot now so I tried to bend it out some more... Its like 25-30'

:) I sure hope so! It took forever to do...but seems like its going to be well worth it

Overall it was a pretty successful day. Or atleast as close as It could possibly come on my first AG :) Started off with a few Homebrew's I made last month (Red Ale extract) Brew day officially started at around 2:30pm. I'm pretty happy with the outcome of it all and I'm almost 100% sure...

Thanks everyone for your advice and tips. Looking to get this brew session started here within the next 2-3 hours. (hopefully) I'll have pictures up later on tonight after everything is said and done. ;) For now I'll be relaxing, reading more stuff and having a homebrew :mug:

:) I Just recently bought a bigger pot 7.5 gallons I believe. My old one was 5gallon or so which I use to use for extract. Good adivce man, Thanks for the reply :mug:
