welcome from across the bridge in st. pete

Driftwood and The Happy Shack sound awesome. I will be sure to check them out.

monger whats your next batch? i was just at the pantry yesterday getting a bottling bucket

hey how do you florida guys maintain good fermentation temps? i've been setting my AC a little lower and the carboys stay around the mid to low 70's for my ales. is there an easier (and less expensive... damn progress energy) method?

i live on 4th st. N as close to crossing the bridge into Tampa as possible. i dont know where those other areas are. i just moved here in the middle of august. i'm bottling my pumkin pale ale tomorrow. hydrometer reading tasted great today. nice bitterness like a pale ale should have followed...

thanks for the info everyone! i have seen the BEERS and Dunnedin brewing pages and talked to the people at the pantry. haven't made it to Southern Brew supplies yet but i hear its awesome. beer-monger, are you a member of a brew club?

Hi All! I've been lurking this site for a couple months and made a few posts. Thanks for all the help. Figured it was time for a formal introduction since I've been spending so much time here. I'm brewing from St. Petersburg, Florida. I've got three in the fermenters now. A Tripel, a pumpkin...

thanks for the tip about paint strainer bags. i know this is inefficient. i didn't even put this 1/2 lb of wheat into my OG calculation since this is an extract recipe. just hoping for some of the flavor characteristics to come through. especially since i am doing a late extract addition of...

this is mostly for flavor. its only 1/2 lb of crushed wheat grain. i'm making a summer ale type beer with wheat and light DME. thought i would add another dimension by having wheat specialty grains.

dont have those... this is what i'm going to try to do: in a seperate pot of water steep the grains free floating at 155 for 1/2 hour. i'll have a separate pot maintained at around 155 also. after a 1/2 hour pour the grain pot through a strainer and into the larger pot. i will then rinse the...

hi, tried searching for this. ready to add my specialty grains and realized i am short a grain bag. can i use any other common house item as an alternative? thanks

thanks. yah thats what it ended up being. i mixed it up a few more times and the reading was spot on. 1.048.

just finished cooling a pumpkin ale for a 3 gal. batch. thought i was all set to pitch the yeast but when i looked at the hydrometer my OG was 1.028. my boil was about 2 gal. so i had to add 1 gal to top it off. is my reading thrown off because i'm reading the top water? i have a small...

starting mine tonight. i cant wait. think i'm going to steep 1/2 of my pumpkin and add 1/2 at 30 min in the boil.

i just saw that AHS has it also. thanks

where can you find Sorachi? not on Northern Brewer and my local homebrew store is relatively small so i doubt they will have it

Late extract addition?

i'm thinking about putting together a wheat recipe to get done quickly. for you extract brewers out there, what can you do to keep the color light when brewing with exract?

i was definitely relieved to see the hydrometer drop a bit today. its still plenty sweet so hopefully plenty of fermenting still to be done. thanks for all the help

1.028 today. its still going i guess.
