Thank you for the info. So far from samples the batch tastes good and I should hopefully have it in a keg by next week. Worst case I will have to try again and add the honey 24-48 into the fermentation and see if there is a dramatic difference. :mug:

I have a honey ale in my secondary right now. I added my honey at the last 15 min of the boil. What would be the benefit of adding the honey to the fermenter instead of the boil?

I have been tossing around the idea of trying this one but am still stuck on the fence. I am having trouble getting past the chocolate and rasberries in my beer. Is this one worth a go?

I know I am a newb here but are you using the correct ratio of starsan to water? Check all of your ratios on you cleaning/sanitizing make sure you are not over doing it.

Well its in bottles, so only a few more weeks but from my samples while bottling were great. Also just put a honey ale in secondary and it also is coming out good so far.

I just picked this up on midwest: http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdByID.aspx?ProdID=7739 Shipping was only $17 so out the door it was $217 for everything but the fridge. Looking around this was the best deal I could find at the moment.

That is what I figured anyway. I may just go the sanyo route for now and when I get into lagering pick up a cheap craigslist fridge for the unfinished half of my basement. After looking around on-line and measuring some spots in the man cave the fridge will be the easier option due to the size...

OK I am looking for an opinion here on kegerator options. I am going to be building a kegerator in the next few weeks and can not decide between a sanyo compact fridge or chest freezer. I am only looking for a setup for 2 kegs but may need the room if I ever decide to brew a lager. What do most...

Well took 3 days of hydrometer reading, and are staying solid about 1.010-1.011 and no airlock activity. Its going to secondary tonight and all of those samples tasted damn good too. I am looking forward to my next batch next week; although I may start is this weekend if I can get this honey-do...

Thank you, I sat and read the entire text and never bothered to look in the upper right corner. Sorry for the ignorance.

OK I made the stuipest mistake right off the bat on my first batch. I followed everything exactly but when I was going to take my OG my hydrometer rolled off my counter and shattered on the floor. :drunk: I pitched my yeast and closed off my fermenter but couldn't take my OG. Is there any way...

I am a newb here too and just finished reading Papazian's Joy of Home Brewing and found howtobrew.com in all of my research. I am starting my first brew this weekend (Fat Tire Clone). Can anyone recommend a local brew shop around Plainfield? It is also nice to see all of these Chicago locals...
