Sierra Nevada Celebration (clone). 2nd home brew. Still haven't bottled first. Already addicted!!!

I'm guessing bitter may be a better term

Yes that's what I mean. If there is a better description I would be glad to know

I would say rescued also. It just cost so much more. I need to hurry up get some home brew bottled so I can at least can save on gas. Lol. I can drink budweiser when given to me but I must admit it is purely for the abv. Lol. Maybe I used love too loosely. Haha

I do like the stouts I've had so far. Not as much a fan of the milk stouts though. I would really like to find bourbon barrel though. I think I like the dryer stouts but I'm not really a taster so I don't know if that's the right term

+1^ I had the same prob a week or so ago and Georgia Tiger calmed me down. If u are using an ale pail type fermenter then you are even more apt to leaking around the bucket lid. I knew mine was leaking because the airlock was suspended at the top but never would bubble. It meant that I had...

Haha thanks, I forgot to mention I'm almost ready to bottle my first home brew and it was a SN pale ale kit from northern brewer and I'm sick that I haven't been dry hopping several ounces of centennial in it.

My basement is currently staying about 58 degrees. Would this be a better location or is it just too cool for ale yeast?

Just checked it again and it's still dropping. 73* and room temp was 67. I closed the vent in this room a little earlier so I hope it will drop a little more. I've read on here that the yeast will make it's own heat though. How much difference can I expect it to be. I'm fermenting in a 6.5 gal...

Awesome. Sounds good. Now just to decide on what my next batch will be!

Ten Four, thanks guys! I'll be hopin for the best if nothing else at least I had a lot of fun right! I though about racking into seconday at two weeks but I may just leave this one alone
