Same exact yeast! Maybe I'll stick with the hop schedule. I was iffy about it being I don't have a secondary. Should I just dry hop in primary?

I'm really excited for this IPA being for 2 reasons. 1. It's my third batch and it seems like I've learned so much from the first two. 2. It's part of my gift to my groomsmen. Giving them some home brew and their own personalized beer mug.

Lol typo...not 10oz of summit...1oz A total of 5oz of hops

Well I tasted one after like 3 days of bottling and there is def a wonderful pumpkin flavor. Nice addition of spices too. I would def recommend it...but I lost close to a gallon due to the trub

Well I have enough room for that, I just didn't want to deal with all the water in the tub. I'm thinking son of fermentation chiller. Good on the electric bill, small, seems viable to me.

Lol well it was in line with that. I've scoured the webs for something simple like this. So I said f it and decided to think of something my self. This looks like it would be perfect

The idea is to keep frozen bottles in the pouches. As long as the material stays damp, I'm thinking it should stabilize the temp if not cool it down. I'm no genius but it seems like it would work, and be very convenient.

Ok, I live in a apartment, so space is definitely not a luxury. Anyways, I know a lot of people use swamp coolers. I was thinking of someway I could save on space. I came up with this idea. Make some type of wrap for the 5 gallon fermenter out of a material that can hold a good bit of water...

So I made the amber ale from Midwest supplies. Bottled conditioned for a month. The beer tastes pretty good for the first attempt. There's a few things that I can definitely improve on. Thanks to everyone on this forum, I am now addicted!

What kinda beer?

I really wish there were more LHBS

I'm in Washington, how is the south hills store?

Who do we have brewing near pittsburgh pa? *stole the idea of the chicago thread :) *

I just realized that my bucket may be too big for a secondary. I have a pumpkin ale in the primary right now and want to move it to secondary to clear out all of the pumpkin. Unfortunately I only have my 6.5 gallon buckets. 1. Is the bucket too big to use...too much head space? 2. Should I...

Wow that's pretty high, your probably you going to have to leave it ferment longer. Is this a kit? Or was it a recipe you found and put together? Yeh the spices should be ok. I took a reading tonight and got about 1.012. So I baked 2 30oz cans of pumpkin with a little more brown sugar and...

Well you may have only noticed the airlock bubbling for 12-18 hrs, so did mine. That doesn't mean it's done fermenting. Give it about 2 weeks in the fermenter and take a hydrometer reading. Wait another 2-3 days and take another. If the numbers are the same then generally it means it's done...

I mashed it and boiled it as well as placed it in the primary after 1.5 weeks. if your gonna boil, use nylon bag!

Actually I just put 60oz of pumpkin in the primary. Baked the 2 30oz cans at 350 for 30 mins with some brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice on top, let it cool to about 80, dropped it in and then wrapped the fermenter with a wet towel and ice packs to sustain the temp. Prior to adding the...

And what I mean by week and a half, that's what im guesstimating for it to finish fermentation. Could be longer. It's already been in for close to 2 weeks
