umm yeah, I"m doin another gallon batch of this stuff, my brewin' buddy wants to taste it. This time I"ll bottle it.

I am definitely going to let it sit. So far, its a tastey brew! of course it smells a little yeasty right now but its smooth, crisp, and has a nice hoppy finish. I liken the flavor to Sam Adams Boston Lager but with a lighter color. So far its a success in my book.

Its Cooper's european lager LME 1lb corn sugar 1lb pilsen light malt extract Dry kit yeast been in primary since Monday. After much reading here, I'm going to keep it in primary at LEAST till Monday so the yeast can flocculate and clean up. Its a one bucket kit. (unless I buy...

smells great! No infections! OG: 1.040 Currently 1.010 at 68* Today is bottling day according to the LHBS's instructions. I'm going to let it sit till at least Monday before bottling. Color is a very nice golden. Good head retention in the test tube. Gonna drink the sample and see...

I figured I'd get at least a lil flamed due to the kid in the DIY forum making "minute wine" in his dorm room.

lol i'm having glass #2 now. I'll definitely use brewer's yeast next time. According to my hydrometer, this stuff is about 8% ABV

I'm probably going to get flamed for this. But oh well. This was NOT done for the same reasons that "beginner" did in the DIY forum for those who read this kid's post. This was done to test the process for brewing/fermenting I bought some organic fresh squeezed apple juice, and some...

The times I've been to Germany, I've always heard that Beer and Coke beverage coined "Kinder Bier" or Children's Beer. I'm just sayin';)

Roger. I"ll try to maintain the 68. It sat all day at that temp so I'll monitor it.

I put it in a swam cooler w/ a T-shirt over the top. Just checked it with a sanitized digital remote aquarium thermometer. 68* haven't been able to ice it since last night (flew all day), gonna re-ice it before bed. Fermentation down to 12 BPM Prolly gonna take a SG reading tomorrow AM.

yep :drunk:

well chit!!!

FWIW, from what I've read, you really should use simple corn sugar, not table cane sugar.

Thanks cheshire. Whaddya think about getting one of those remote thermometers. mout it on the outside, sterilize and put the remote in the batch.

+1 from what I've read.

I love my SWBMO. Reminded me of the plastic tubs we had outside in storage. Problem now is the thermometer is submerged in ice water, it'll be more difficult to take a temp reading without popping the top. If I get some fruity esters in this batch, it won't kill me.

I pitched it last night :(

its 80*!!!! Should I DEFINITELY make a swamp cooler?
