I'm in for this bad boy!

I'm pretty sure it was close to 5 when we started. However I might've been overestimating the level of Krausen so I could actually have closer to five than I thought. I was just trying to get the lid closed as quick as possible.

Hail hail=ale pail. Damn autocorrect

So after moving my hail hail to the basement, the internal temperatures reading right around 68, which I think is better than the aforementioned 72°. However, after not seeing any airlock activity for the last two days, I became concerned with my yeast pitch.I cracked open the top and saw a...

+1. As a new brewer, I've read about 10 books on Homebrewing. His is by far the best, and I'm not even to all grain brewing yet.

I tried my first brew in a 7.5 gallon stainless kettle on our glass top stove. Needless to say, I could barely get it to 155 to steep the grains. I ended up steeping the grains while I ran to the hardware store and grabbed a turkey fryer, which came with a nice burner and a 7.5 gallon aluminum...

There's no gunk or anything in the airlock, and when you press on the lid there are bubbles and sanitized water moves around it's just not constantly bubbling anymore. I was debating on going to a secondary or not, because when I poured the wort into the fermenter I did not do a very good job...

I know I just need to be patient, but I'm so new! We brewed our first brew, and Amber Ale from a kit. We used a Wyeast Liquid Yeast however. I'm not sure if I agitated the wort enough or not... It's a 5gal batch, fermenting in a 6.5 gallon ale pail. After about 12 hours, the airlock was...

Welcome to HBT from a newbie myself. I just brewed my first last night and it's fermenting away! Hope you learn a bunch and that the Black IPA turns out good.

We got ours this week and brewed the Amber Ale last night... Plan on using the gift card today on a couple more kits.

So just over a month after joining, I finally brewed my first batch. Last night we brewed an 5 gallon Amber Ale from Midwest. Had a couple problems getting it going on the stove, so we moved to a propane burner which worked great. Pitched a different yeast than the one that came with it and...

Ahhh... I didn't realize that, thanks for the link!

No, it's a whole different line by AB... The project 12 beers are interesting as well though.

Wow, that's truly inspiring! Nice job with it all!

I heard about this forum from some buddies on Puff.com, a cigar forum. A buddy and I are going to start brewing in a couple of weeks, we don't even have the supplies yet. I figure I can learn quite a bit here so I don't screw up too bad when we do get started. I can't wait to get to know you...
