Yams? Canned? Candied? Baked? Inquiring minds want to know.

Good post! Lots to think about for a noob like me. From the little I've read it seems like you've hit some controversial subjects: full vs partial boil, etc.

Bottles are the rate-limiting step at the moment. I have 3 cases of empty and clean Grolsch bottles. I have a case in the fridge and case on deck. The wife and I are drinking it as fast as we can.:D Hard to believe everybody wants $27 for 12 Grolsch-type bottles, new, when I get a case...

Another good idea. Thanks. General Jack D. Ripper: Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face.

Wow. Either you're a genius or I'm an idiot. Ummm...door number 2, Monty. Perfect, thanks. Major T. J. "King" Kong: Stay on the bomb run, boys! I'm gonna get them doors open if it harelips ever'body on Bear Creek!

My first brew, also BB Brown Ale, is in the fermenter. I'll be bottling next Sunday. Glad yours worked out well. Makes me even more impatient to taste mine!

Howdy, What do you float your hydrometer in? I bought a 250 ml graduated cylinder, but that seems to waste a fair amount of beer. Is there a trick for getting the top off of the Brewer's Best fermenting tubs? I'm no lightweight, but I thought my fingers were going to come off before the...

Update: Checked SG yesterday. It is 1.010. Had a taste. It tastes like warm, flat beer, but a good warm flat beer. I think if it was cold and bubbly it would be pretty good. It's pretty muddy or murky. Will that clear? The plan is to bottle next weekend and drink 2-3 weeks later. I put...

I was kidding about cloning IC. It would be cheaper just to buy it (if I wanted it). If I was going to clone a beer I might start with Magic Hat #9.

Good to see all of you Yinzers. Where's the recipe for IC light on here?:cross:

Good to know!

Thanks for all of the excellent advice. If I were to distill of the advice (ha ha) it would be to leave it alone. From the Simpsons: Moe: I got this deep fryer on loan from the US Army. It can flash fry a buffalo in 40 seconds Homer: 40 secoonnds... but i want it nooow

Howdy, All. I'm in Washington (or Warshington if you're from here).

Howdy, Brewing my first batch. I filled the fermenter Sunday afternoon after using John Palmer's instruction tweeks to the Brewer's Best English Brown Ale Kit. I did a search of the forum so I know that no bubbling can be okay at this point (48 hours), but all of the instructions on when...

Howdy, In the process of brewing my first beer. Already used the search function to avoid asking the "no bubbles" question.:rolleyes: Looking forward to learning here. Doc
