Thanks for clarifying that. The brew I was speaking of, was just great, great tasting, good fizz, and tons of head(it lasted a while, too). I wouldn't change a thing.

Well, If all that great head on my brew is over-carbonation, I'll stick with it. I doubt if over-carbonation was the cause, I'm told using more than 4 1/2 ounces of sugar is just pointless, so if using more gave more head it would be a part of someones advice, somewhere. :rockin:

Lot's of great advice on here. I suppose I need to wait 3 full weeks to get more consistence from bottle to bottle. My only question is, does anybody notice a difference in head from what you use to prime with? I've used pre-packaged "heading" powder and I almost always brew with carapils, but I...

Interesting. I've been using nottingham for all my brews. So, being that I want to brew a bud clone (just to show I can, not cuz it's the end all be all of my brewing) I'll just stick with that, and add some rice, maybe corn. I dunno, the last light colored ale I tried to brew didn't come out...

when I first started homebrewing I went from boil to "serve" in 20 days. Damned if I know what kind of yeast I used, I didn't write anything down and thought I could spot it at the supply store (nope, they're always of stuff). Other than that I've been leaving it in the fermentor longer and...

I dunno, at one week they're usually not very carbed or heady, I'd say just wait another week and see.

all this plus cheese making as well? I make my own salsa, bread and beer. Now that I think of it I'd love to make my own cheese well.

I too am very interested. I'm coming to the conclusion that lagering is somewhat over-rated. Everything I've brewed so far would be considered Ales, And I'm lovin' 'em!

That's fascinating to me. Of course, kegging is just out of the question for me. Just no space. I plan on getting 2 batches going one right after the other, but the hell if I know where I'm even going to stash the bottles! To be honest, I'm not too happy with the carbonation I've gotten out of...

They're cheap, they work like they should, I'm thinking about making a "stand" so I can set one on top of the other and clear the airlock. Easy to clean, easy to dump the wort into.These are perfect for homebrewing. Price Payed: $15.00 Recommended? Yes Pros: works just like it should. Kind of...

I've been visiting longer than I've been signed up, but I looked for home brewing on Yahoo's search engine.
