Looks fantastic! Great job.

Located in Oregon. Will pay for shipping.

I'll take it for $50 shipped to 97471 Oregon, if still available. I can send paypal money as a gift so there would be no fees for you.

I dumped the trub, then swirled the mini brew fermenter last night. I also turned on the heater in my garage to raise the temp from 65deg to 70deg. I'll let you all know what the sg reading is after I get home from work tonight. If it is still @ 1.023, it will be going in the keg Saturday.

Great advice...more time to drink beer.

I guess I was just trying to be more difficult or different.

Added flavor of the DME and maybe faster carbonation of the corn sugar?

I was thinking of trying to mix 50% corn sugar and 50% dried malt extract when I bottled this current batch this Saturday. Has anyone tried this? I have bottled with all types of sugars and DME, but have never mixed the two. What do you think?
