Did you give it a go yet?

I kegged two stouts. Same recipe and everything. Force carbed one naturally carbed the other. I preferred the naturally carbed one over the force carbed.

On a scale of 1-10. 1 being non existent and 10 being so overpowering that you can't stomach it. I would say it was about a 4-5. It had the peach flavor but it didn't overpower the beer.

I did a peach hefe this summer and added priming sugar and the extract. My wife and I started with an eye dropper and added two drops in the first and increased by 2 every other bottle. It's pretty potent stuff so I wanted to gradually build it up. We settled on 8 drops being perfect for us.

My sons elementary school uses a combination of white dry erase boards and what's call a smartboard. The smartboard is essentially a touchscreen PC the size of a blackboard. Colleges still use the ceiling mounted projector.

The thing to always remember is its YOUR BEER. It will always taste good because you made it. Time does help with flavor and the like but like I said crack one open and give it a taste. Put a 6 pack away and taste it in intervals then you will know the next time how long you really need to wait...

I would give it a couple of weeks and give it a taste. I find that every one I've bottled is drinkable after 2 weeks, however it gets better with time.

On my first batch I did everything wrong according to anyone I talked to. You know what I still made beer and it was pretty damn tasty. It's hard on the first one but you have to understand time is your friend and everything you do is a learning process. You will make better beer just stick with...

I've brewed 5 batches and bottled two. I switch to kegs next week when my other batches are ready.

Ill have four kegs and two taps to start but plan on adding two more taps.

My plan is to keep a Newcastle clone (my favorite) a wheat (wifes favorite) a stout (my other favorite) and a kind of seasonal on tap. I plan to brew to keep these kegs full so would you prime or force carb in this situation?

Much to my wife's dismay I use our electric stove. Clean up sucks but you can make beer.

Bad thing is Chris Gamble plays for my hometown team and I was forced to pull for him. It was a love hate thing.

Ok thank you. Sorry about the typos. This phone drives me insane.

*Lucked up. Fat fingers and typing on a damn iPhone. Kegging into 5 gallon ball lock kegs.
