Absolutely they gave this a crappy name! Here's hoping the taste is far better than the name is.

That's good to hear. New to brewing, and I bought two BB Hop Nog kits. I love a real hoppy brew and this sounded like it would be right up my alley. I will have to practice being patient with this brew, sounds like it will be awhile before I can enjoy a pint! Thanks.

No one out there has tried Brewer's Best Hop Nog?

This weekend I am going to bottle my IPA, and brew up a batch of BB Hop Nog. Curious if anyone has tried it and what results they got.

Thanks for your quick reply and ideas . Is that a 68 'Cuda I see? Just sold my 70 396 Nova.

Have been looking at numerous conical 6.5 gal fermenters on the Internet. I would like to get one, but the stainless steel models are too expensive. Deciding on a plastic version, anyone have a recommendation for a specific model that is under $200 and of decent quality? Thanks for any help.

Once more, a useful and helpful tip from a member, thanks.:mug:

Thanks, just read it. Great info!!

Actually I didn't use a bottling wand, I used a plastic fermenter bucket with a spigot at the bottom and poured from that to fill the bottles. I need to get a wand. Still learning. First batch and all......:D

Thanks for the advice. I'll move them today into the office area which is usually around 70 degrees. The labels I made from a Googled Possum piece of artwork that I reworked with Sharpie colored markers and copied on a color copier. I left the area on his cape blank and can fill in "Ale"...

Ok, thanks for the advice.

Last night I finished bottling my first batch of homebrewed English Ale. I call it Awesum Possum Ale. The two cases are sitting in a nice dark, cool place and I will give one the inaugural taste test on Christmas Eve. Wish me luck. Second batch (IPA) is in the fermenter for another week and...

I bought two six and a half gal. carboys and have one six gal. bucket fermenter. Ready for another batch now!

Anyone here know of a decent digital hydrometer out there that's not too expensive?

Thanks for all the helpful info and encouragement. I guess at this point patience is the name of the game. That and deciding what to brew next.
