Uh oh. I'm with ya man, started 2 months ago. Now all I do is read this forum and wish time away as I "patiently" wait for my beer to finish up. Enjoy!

And thanks Glynn!!!

Yeah I know that they have nothing to do with the school, just thought it was kind of fitting lol.

Now excuse me if this has been mentioned or not yet as I don't have time to read through everything, but maybe you should (assuming you're not already) utilize a hop bag during boil. I found this process removed a gross aftertaste for me because it eliminated scorched hops. Just a thought...

HEy all,as the title suggests I'm looking to do my first AG. Since I go to Kent State in Ohio I'm thinking of doing a basic pale ale using only east kent golding hops. I'd like around 6-7 abv I think. Any suggestions for what malt to use? My experience is 6 brews from extract to partial mash...

I'll be brewing this up later with a partial boil. Definitely interested to try it because the ingredients are just extra stuff I've had lying around!

1.056 OG Porter-esque

brewed today, 1hr boil used all the above fermentables I originally said, changed the hops from 3 oz to 1 oz of cascade at 60. Added the spices at 45, irish moss at 15. Tasted phenomenal and smelled even better!

Timrox how did the pumpkin ale turn out?? And Calder I got the 1.055 from brewtoad and beersmith. That's what they had for me lol.

My last name sounds like Dibrewzza so it worked out perfectly!

So I'm brewing a beer probably Tuesday that I'd like ready by thanksgiving MAYBE and Christmas at the very latest. Originally I wanted to do a partial mash and get around 9.5%abv but my understanding is that it wouldn't be ready any time soon. Instead ill just do a simple extract and steep...

For 5 gallon recipe on a 15 minute boil I'd start work 5.2-5.3. This tends to be the boil off rate for me in my kettle which is tall and slender.

Srs....yes. Lol

Huge congratulations from Ohio!

Quite simply actually, buy the wood from ebay, the stem as well. Drill the holes, shape with a lathe, sander, and rasp, then sand to the preferred finish!

Oh yeah, my "brewery" name is DiBrewzza's. It's a play on my last name!

My name is Derek. I'm a college senior studying exercise physiology with aspirations to be in the field of orthotics and prostetics in a few short years. I LOVE beer, as I hope everyone on this forum does. Unlike most college students, I cannot stand the cheap stuff. I tend to gravitate...

Lagunitas Maximus Ale. Best beer out there, or perhaps their Little Sumpin' Sumpin. I can't decide. Picked up a 6 pack for the Ohio State game and at 8.2% ABV I'm ready for a night.

^^^ Luckily I'm in College and nearing the end of it. I graduate in a semester so I'm not taking too many classes. This leaves me PLENTY of time =) Just got the girlfriend who gets bored. Lol I'll keep it updated though! Thanks for the insight in your spices!

Island lizard: I had the Christmas ale August 4th leftover from a big Christmas in July event they had. Also, I left those out but yea I have cinnamon nutmeg ginger and orange zest planned. The reason I'm doing 5 1 gallon batches is to mix and match the spices and see what I like best!
