Young's Double Chocolate Stout and chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven. wowzers! :ban:

ended up using a little bit less malt, with most of it as a late addition to try and get better utilization out of 1.5oz of hops(didn't notice it was a half oz till i got home grrrr) it's been in primary almost 3 weeks now, it's only down to 1.040. hit some temp issues, first too cold in the...

hey, i live near rochester, but i doubt you'd want to make the trip just for supplies. i found this place.... E.J. Wren Homebrewer it's in syracuse so it's still a little bit of a hike, but looks like they do mailorder too. here's the link for the local club. haven't checked it out...

could you use this technique to make a starter?

made up a starter so the brewing starts soon! any last minute changes/advice? gotta make a run up to the LHBS anyways, i forgot to buy a grain bag!!

thanks for the advice! i've been using the beer recipator and it seems the style ranges are a little different from the beertools. didn't make many extreme changes but this sounds pretty good now. steep: 1lb crushed crystal 1oz roasted barely 6oz american chocolate (if the local shop...

My girlfriend really digs the malty scotch ales, so for her birthday we're going to attempt to brew a Wee Heavy. We've only done preassembled extract kits w/steeping so far, so this is our first crack at making our own recipe. any advice/tweaks would be appreciated! steep: 1lb crushed...

this thread is way helpful. i've been wondering how to deal with the summer heat. better stock up on water bottles to freeze.

my plans for tonight include.... homebrewed irish stout homebrewed nut brown ale dogfish head 60 min ipa stone double bastard 22oz :rockin:

i've been using these kits, and a couple others on here have too. i've yet to pick up a secondary but that's next. my only complaint is the yeast doesn't seem to like the basement when it's subzero and snowing.

i had the same problem with my Nut Brown Ale by true brew, but bottled with the slighty high gravity anyway, it'd been in there for almost 10 days. within a week it was fully carbed to the point where i had to put them all on chill. currently i have their Irish Stout kit in the primary, my...

mine is aproaching 2 weeks in bottle, 10 in bucket. opened a 22 today and it's damn good!! a nice amount of carb, PERFECT head, and really enjoyable taste! the first week was deffinetly a little green tasting. now it's worthy of sharing! they're getting a semi lager treatment i guess, it's...

moving them to the garage and chilling in the freezer for a short time before drinking seems to do the trick! it's a Nut Brown Ale.

i didn't take the SG right. newbie fumbling, no theif/baster, and didn't want to risk dipping my whole hand in the wort. the final was around 1.016/1.017, instructions said 1.012-1.014.

had the urge to break into them after only a week in the bottle. first one was a slight gusher, uh oh. cracked another one to to see how that was, hoping the suger wasn't mixed good. it gushed all over, lost half of it. oh crap i thought. moved them to the garage to avoid a mess all over the...

http://www.crosby-baker.com/TrueBrew.htm We have a Maestro kit. Only thing I disliked about it was the adhesive thermometer and the C-Brite. Thanks for the link! Just looking around there and I know I'm hooked!

Got a True Brew equipment kit and a 5 gallon batch of their Nut Brown Ale is now fermenting in our basement. everything seemed to go good. Anyone have any experience with their extract kits? Any suggestions for a noob friendly dark stout? :mug:
