Thanks for the recipe. Any idea what the aaus where on the hops? And if any one else has tried this kit, any other recommendations aside from the belgian wit?

Thanks. Here's the recipe. Irish Red Ale (AHB Kit) 7lbs Munich LME .5lbs 2-2row .5lbs Caramunich .5lbs Crystal 120L 1.5 Hallertau 3.7 (60 min) .5 Cascade 5.8 and Hallertau 3.7 (15 min) .5 Cascade 5.8 (5 min) White Labs Irish Ale #1084 Here are my brew notes. It's surely a lot to wade...

That's the kicker here. I had a pretty active fermentation, which has me wondering why my gravity has been stuck since the fourth day after fermentation began. I know it's only been stuck for two days, but it has to eventually get from the rest of the way down from 1.02 to around 1.012...

Thanks. I'm only concerned because my gravity reading hasn't changed since Wednesday. I originally planned to rack it off tomorrow but will give it till the middle of the week to see what it's doing. If, at that time it's still stuck, is pitching more yeast even an option or is it just a 4%...

When I started reading this forum, I told myself I'd never be that guy. Guess who's that guy? I've searched and read about stuck fermentation but still don't know whether I'm fine, should stroll down the gas isle for some beano or chalk this one up to experience. Last Saturday was my first...

Can you post the AHBS recipe. I think I might be making a sam summer ale next, but if I can get the recipe, I could probably do it cheaper than AHB. :ban:

Dual faucet? What's that? Did you mean dual reg or something else?

Does carbing beer at different pressure matter? I mean I know it does, but I see a ton of people using a primary regulator and just a manifold to split off to kegs. I used to be a bartender and we did the same thing at the place I worked at. Is there some trick to using those things or can you...

Crazy how well known the outer banks have become! I've been going for about 25 years, a week in July each year. Usually we're in Nags Head in the southern area on Beach road after that 7-11. Each year, I can't go down there without going to Awful Arthurs in Kill Devil Hills (or is it...

If you're frugal (and borderline obsessive) you can take that 4 hundo and buy quite a bit more. AHBS is awesome, but if you do some research and fine the best deals on pieces and parts you'll get more for your money. Here's a quick rundown of what I got from where if it helps. Local home...

Carboys that are made out of PET (the oxygen impermeable plastic) are identified with a 1 in the little recycling triangle on the bottom of the bottle.

Thanks for everyone's advice. I got stuck at work and am just now home. It's beer-thirty fo sho!:mug: Good tip on the cheap in-line checks. Much appreciated.

I am looking to buy my regulator set up for my kegs. I’d like to have a dual-guage primary regulator with a single-secondary regulator. I’m going to “T” off of the main primary line with one line going to the higher psi keg and the other line going to the secondary regulator. My question is...

:off: You're kidding me. West Liberty? I live in Bellefontaine and lived in WL as a kid. Small world. You've got to making your homebrew as you're living in one of the few dry townships in Ohio. Cheers!:cross:

Isn't it a pain, with the myriad of equipment options and vendors, to figure out what you're buying from where? I ended up getting my stuff a week ago from morebeer out of cali. Free shipping on orders more than $59. Prices are pretty good and No I'm not a double secret morebeer agent.:cross:

Right. And the polys are marked with a the "recyclable" 7 at the bottom. The ones that are PET are marked with 1s. So you've used the poly or the pet water bottles with no oxy issues? I just wonder how much of it is marketing by better bottle or if the formulation is vastly different from what...

We actually did go to Oaken, but the one in Bloomington was too far south. Oaken had a very good porter. Good stuff.

By the way, wop31, the wife and I took our first long weekend in Indiana two weeks ago and loved it. Indianapolis has a ton of great breweries with some really good beer. Very impressed. I just wish Columbus, Oh (our town) had the beer selection Indy does. Cheers.

Thanks a lot for you response and thank John Palmer for "How to Brew" for getting me started in the right direction. I've read that book like 5 times already. I guess I'll just wait and see how it turns out once it goes through the whole process. Thanks again.

Here's a related question. BB's are made of PET plastic, which is the plastic that's supposed to keep oxygen out. PET plastic is exclusively labeled a "1" in terms of recyclable plastic. Say we get 5 g PET bottles delivered to us for use at work at the water cooler. Could these be used as...
