So today I noticed the airlock wasn't bubbling, check the SG and it's dropped from 1.045 to around 1.020. broke my hydrometer in the process. tasted the sample it tastes a bit watery. not sure if this will change over the next two weeks.

Wondering if anyone has ever used or seen the need for using artemisia Abisinthium in their brewing projects.

So Re-read the instructions last night, and apparently I am supposed to transfer this brew to a secondary fermenter. So do I need too. For anyone interested i did the Nut brown 20 minute boil kit from MWS. I honestly don't see the point, the beer was pretty clear in the sample I took...

Will starsan affect the final product. I know it's "no-rinse" but it is still poisionous when ingested correct

Well it was a little hairy but my nut brown ale is in my fermentor in my basement. No airlock activity yet but it's only been 3 hours since I dumped it into the bucket. wasn't a total cluster, Managed to avoid a boilover but definitely will be investing in a turkey fry setup. airlock...

two options really, use smaller tubing don't know how effective that would be. 2) get another lid and drill a hole in it to take larger tubing.

just the hops and I personally think it's too dark to be an amber

As a scot by birth and owner of around 6-10 single malts/blends at any one time (money got a bit short this year so I'm down to 4) I would suggest you start with a decent blend like J & B or if you can get it McIvor isn't so bad. If you want to get into single malt I'd suggest Glenlivet 12 or...

Tallgrass Brewing Company, Buffalo sweat, by far the worst beer I have had. Come to think of it Rogue's Chipotle Ale wasn't pleasant either

If you know what beer I am talking about. what style do you classify it under. It's not an amber as far I can tell. Is it a Brown ale?? any input would be appreciated

and if u go the other way just divide??

Probably should be in the brewing sciences thread but anyway just wondered if anyone had any helpful math to help aspiring brewers. The one I don't know and have looked in Palmer's and Papazian's books is hoew to convert a recipe using DME into LME.

I'm thinking of a Not brown Ale. Unfortunately I drink a lot of Big beers, RIS and alike.

I guess I mean it's in the cart just not purchased. LOL

I'm about to start brewing next week (hopefully) have a 20 minute boil kit on order from Midwest. What do people think about these or should I just got straight into a specialty grain kit being that they r roughly the same price. Also what kits do people prefer, Austin Homebrewing or Midwest...

I don't see the problem. with doing what you said with dissolving the extract in hot water and topping the fermenter with cold water. That's what I plan to do using a three gallon pot. You are going to possibly end up with darker beer and possibly not so good hop utilization.

it's not in KC but you should go about 50 miles to south to Lawrence and Check out free State Brewery. Kc has 75th Street brewery.

http://lawrenceks.org/utilities/system/files/2009+CCR.pdf here is the report

but it doesn't have the bicarbonate level in ppm on the water report

Hi guys I start brewing next month (long story basically have to get my "brewery together bits at a time) I am looking at my City water report and don't see a bicarbonate level in the report. It does however have a line in the report saying "Alkalinity as CACo3" is this the same thing...
