I posted this on another thread that I started, but I wanted to add it here since we talked about this brew before I started it: Hey guys, I am brewing a summer ale kit by Brewer's Best. Added 1 oz of Citra hops and At the end of the boil I added Orange blossom pure clove honey (12 oz), then I...

Forgot to mention this is a 5 gallon batch. Airlock is bubbling, but you can't tell in the pic obviously. It looks like the top layer is starting to fall to the bottom, temp. is 64 degrees.

Hey guys, I am brewing a summer ale kit by Brewer's Best. Added 1 oz of Citra hops and At the end of the boil I added Orange blossom pure clove honey (12 oz), then I also added 32 oz of blood orange juice. I had a pretty active fermentation for a couple of days. The krausen had dropped shortly...

Hey guys, I am going to start my Summer Ale this Friday. I got the Brewer's Best extract kit. This is only my second batch of home brew (I was very pleasantly surprised with how well my IPA turned out). I really want to take this recipe and kick it up a notch.

Thank you all so much for your responses. This makes me feel a lot better. As soon as I get home I am going to get these beers out of the bridge. This is clearly my first batch. I did primary fermenter for 17 days, secondary for 14 days, dry hoppping for final 6 days in the secondary. I...

Hey all, I am really upset with myself after misinterpreting some instructions. I bottled my beer almost 6 days ago and I really screwed up. I capped and put them in the fridge immediately. I was under the impression that the beer was supposed to be conditioned in a chilled environment. Is there...
