Wow, very impressed. I'm sure all that equipment cost quite a pretty penny

How is your alcohol content so high with 7lbs of DME? Is it because of your specialty grains or the 1lb of corn sugar that you're adding? BTW all those hops sound mighty tasty :-)

How did you add your honey? At the beginning of the boil? I was thinking about experimenting with this.

From my understanding, certain flavors will "mellow" out during bottle conditioning while others may begin to become more prevalent. I'm fairly certain that the sweetness of your brew should mellow out and blend together with the other flavors over time. I think the carbonation should be...

Sorry about that guys...it was a crazy night, and yes i am in a frat if thats what ur implying ahammer, haha, disregard previous post

As much as i love good beer and homebrew...man is it great to get ****ed up (can i say that here?) off whatever is alcoholic...maybe thats just a college student talking, later bro's. :drunk:

Ok I need to open this one up for discussion again...The bubbles kept growing into a small foam head on top of the entire beer and now I have fermentation and airlock activity again! The beer was chillin completely still in the secondary for about a week and now it looks like I have active...

Hmmm, maybe one of the more experienced guys can chime in here but I don't know why there isn't any carbonation. It sounds to me like you did everything right...

BP if you ever have any trouble getting rid of that tasty professionaly made homebrew you be sure to message me so I can give you an address to send the surplus :ban:

How long have your bottles been conditioning? If you didn't reach your FG, I actually think that would add EXTRA carbonation to your bottles. It takes around a week to get decent carbonation going depending on the brew. Did you use 3/4 cup dextrose sugar dissolved in pre-boiled water? Was it...

Hahaha...20 and a college student here. These older guys don't mean to be dicks, just a little friendly heckling. I have no idea how your sugar brew would turn out but I suggest getting into homebrewing some beer if you haven't already. Lots of fun and all your bros will dig ur home made beer...

Mmmmm...weed

Whew, just making sure, thanks guys

I have my second batch in the secondary right now and I plan to bottle this weekend. However I have noticed a few "islands" of white spots appearing at the surface of the beer. Could this be contamination or is it just clumps of yeast rising to the surface? I'm sorry I can't provide a picture...

Everything should be fine. If you don't mind a little extra trub in the secondary go ahead and rack it

It looks like you're already moving on to bigger and better things. But all you will need for extract/steeping grain brewing is a big brewing pot and the kit which you already bought. This shouldn't take up more than a closet full of space. Have fun with the new hobby!

I just had my first speech in my class "Public Speaking" and decided to do it on brewing beer. I was the only one in the class that actually received complements on my speech. My visual aids were a primary fermenter (my secondary has beer in it and cannot be brought on campus), a bottle capper...

I'm in my night accounting class right now. I have a variety 12 of Magic Hat along with sam adams octoberfest waiting for me at home. I'm a big fan of the Jinx seasonal brew in the new magic hat variety pack.

Do whole flower hops give a better hop aroma than pellets?

I've wondered this myself, and I've been thinking about different techniques because I don't have a thief OR autosyphon. Your idea sounds good, but maybe a more sanitary way would be to stick the racking cane as far into the beer as possible and place your thumb over the open end. This should...
