Now that i have the wort chiller all ready, i will be hoping to brew the ferocious tomorrow afternoon.

Bottling day, and boy was i happy!

My first batch was drinkable, my second batch was delicious. My third batch im hoping to be incredible.

I am a hop head! I bought 2 extra ounces of cascade hops for this brew, but im not quiet sure when to use them. Should i distribute the 1 ounce for the boil and use the other for a dry hop? Or all in the boil? Or all in the dry hop? What happens is a mystery to me so far.

Anybody ever done this kit before? Any advice? I bought 2 ounces of extra cascade hops, any advice on what could make this beer breat would be appreciated. Been getting a lot of good feedback from this forum already, thanks everybody!

This is by far one the tastiest brews i have ever had! Its a much darked version than i intended it to be, but i think that was due to me boiling a full 5gallons instead of the kit recommended 1.5 gals. My red ale said to do that so i did it here without thinking.

Thats a lot of good input! Thanks brewers! With this new information, i think i will be looking into some of the brewing puree, and would it hurt to throw some oak in there too?

Hey thanks thats exactly what i was looking for!

So im pretty new to brewing, and i would like to do an imperial stout, i would like to add some cherries flavor also. How should i go about this? Dry hopping? I really dont want to use any extract, just real fruit. And of your input would be appreciated.
