No I didn't. Just saying that my standard is still chaotic until I brew more is all.

Ha ha barm. I think it might turn people off to trying my beer if they find out I used scum in my beer. But then they will drink less, more for me....ok love that word thx.

If you read my above comment you will see this is my first batch of beer, so nothing is standard yet :)

Read an article today that was saying to get high abc they actually brew beer then cool it down until water freezes, then keep doing that to get higher and higher abv. not sure how they would go about doing that, though I know alcohol doesn't freeze as fast as water. Maybe they let it naturally...

Great thanks for that. I just made my own wort chiller, pretty ready to do, soft copper hose clamps, house bib adapter, clear tubing, BAM. Thats a great top on the chiller putting it in the pot last fifteen minutes to double insure it's sanitary. Won't it give an off taste though?

Awesome thank you was a little worried. My brew was percolating nicely the next day, I got to bottle last night. Had about 3/4 of a bottle I had to drink, other then flat a warm it was amazing. I can't wait for it to mature in the bottle. I can tell it's going to be an amazing beer.

Obviously new here and I had no idea you had to let your yeast soak for 15 minutes so I just pitched my yeast, that's a crappy term IMHO because you can pitch it when it's wet, but anyway is my beer going to be sh!t now because of this? It's my first batch rather hope it will be ok.

Found you in the android store when searching out home brew stuff

Ok I just brewed my first batch of beer the other day. So sorry for the newb questions. My wife wanted a gf beer as my first smelled amazing as I put it in to ferment. Should be ready to bottle in a couple days. I used a kit for this, it is irish stout. I was wondering on this recipe do you...
