I know this. 9 batches and ny first time not chilling. I bought a wyeast smacked it and i decided to wait till it was fully swelled. Also people at one time used to not have chillers. I think I'll be okay this one time. :)

Good way to spend a sunday. Im doing my first ever wait all night for wort to chill, so ill be pitching my first liquid yeast tommarow sometime.

Congrats man!. now get to brewing more beer! oh and send one my way I'll help you taste test it. :)

Yup bottle it if u got a good fg reading. Bottle condition for 2-4 weeks higher the temp the better. I just had an imperial blonde 8.5% or so bottled about close to 3 weeks at 63 dagrees and its tasting good, im sure its a bit young but really drinkable! :)

+100 couldt have said it any better. Have to say it again. Could not have said it better myself. Id drink a pint with you anyday. :)

Me? It was posed above.

Lol from the sound of tgis thread hope your wife/girlfriend is not HBT. :) Jokes on the side I have not heard of this beer. If ur talking sprinfeild Illinois i live about 3 hours upstate. What is this beer?

That just makes me sick, not in the alcohal way either.

+1 on this I seen this trend about 8 years ago when I got out of BMC's and was ordering sam adams on "import" at resturants. im sure in america somewhere along the lines that has to be false advertisment. But at the same time it is america. And BMC have plonty of money to say or change rules...

Would love to feast on those. Look great and the pics werent that bad. :)

Maybe the Alcohal might neutralize your earwigs? Thats my guess. If it was me id go with the flow and make a cool name out of it. :)

Yup, the only time i crank it its if I need to loose some volume, so I dont have to top off my full boil.

Yeah man put some away age them. get some beers in your pipeline:) Now that you have a bigger kettle try some full volume boils with extract? Ive brewed about 9 batches and have not done a 2.5 gallon boil. Maybe it will help? Brew wichever you want AG, BIAB, extract. And if your doing your...

As you stated thats my process all has went well but my 4 batch seems to have the same deal. I dont think I mixed it as well. Ive read that you can mix Very Slow with your stir spoon wile its racking on your suger. I have not done this. i usually move the racking tube slowely after adding suger...

Hmmm not sure if this is a right anwser but I just used 6# of mutons light DME for a IPA and mu OG was 1.059 if I remeber right. Edit: looked at my notes 60 dagrees hydro reading my og was 1.059

My first beer a robust porter was really really bitter, after being carbedbin bottles for about 2 months the bitterness really and I mean really mellowed out. Now the beer is great and getting better. Kinda wish I didt drink as many at first ( But it was my first batch!) If its really bitter...

Yeah, I havent tasted it sense brew day ( couldt tast the orange) but I put it all in primary didt use a bag for it thought it might give an extra flavor of orange to the IpA sense I was using all cascade. Also gonna dry hop with cascade havent thought about how much. 1 -2 oz for dry hop sound good?

Yes I brewed my first IPA last saturday. Was easy . 6# extra light DME Steeped .5# of crystal 60L ( I wanted 40L but they didt have it) .5# veinna Edit: steeped for 40 mins @ 170-ended @165. All cascade at 6.2AA% 2oz cascade 60 min 1oz cascade @25 1oz cascade @15 .5 oz cascade at 5 Half oz...

Im under the rule of thumb that DME and LME are about the same. But DME has better shelf life than LME. I have not done LME at flamout but next time I use it (if I do) ill try it to see the difference. As for your other questions I dont feel I can answer those question 100% accurate. Edit...
