It's an amber IPA.

Thanks Kevin! I'm sure it won't be long before I try the next one.

It was quite bubbly right away. I'm not sure if it was from pouring the water in after putting the wort in the carboy or not though.

Just got my first brew going today! This is it right hours after I pitched the yeast. How's it look?

I went to my LHBS this morning to look for a 5 gallon brew pot. To my surprise I was told they didn't have any. Anyone in the Ithaca NY area they their supplies locally? I would love to buy local if possible but will use one of the online sites mentioned by many of you if I need to.

Hi guys! I have a recipe for an IPA that says to leave it in the primary for two weeks and transfer to secondary for another week. I don't have a secondary. Is this necessary? Can I leave it in the carboy for three weeks?

Thanks so much! Love this site already.

Thanks guys! I thought that is when I should use the priming sugar but wanted to be sure. It seems like there is a lot of info here. One more question if you don't mind...I have a glass carboy to put my wort in. When it's time to bottle I would put the beer in the bottling bucket that came...

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum today and I have a question about my first time brewing. I recently got a recipe from a local beer shop which I can post if needed. My question is: when do I use priming sugar? The recipe calls for dry malts (which I have) will these create the carbonation in...
