Just realized you were probably talking about Willamete! Oops... hmmm... was Baltika #6 really hoppy? lol.

ok, I'm adding another 1.25 oz of summit at 40 min. Hope it works.

ok, I'm mid boil (30 min) add some hops or too late? I'm assuming it's bittering hops that are important, so I won't add more hops at this point unless I get the go ahead.... Hey, thanks again!

****......

Thank you!

Hey, I'm about to do a batch of porter. I just went to the water dispenser to fill up my 5gallon water bottles and realized that there must have been some leftover starsan residue because I used it as a blow-off container. I'm sure there isn't much, but I still wanted to ask and make sure it...

Would it be a big issue if I added 2 more pounds of DME to this recipe?

Ha! OK, I'm liking the idea. Summit/Cascade IPA for the second batch. I'll mess around with Beersmith to get the correct bitterness for the style.

100% Willamette porter comin' up! Any ideas on that IPA? Cascade? Mmmmm.... :D

That sounds like a plan. I'll probably brew it up tomorrow or Sunday. I'll definitely let you know how it turns out. Definitely let me know if you want to take me up on the free beer! I appreciate the help. Hey, thanks for giving it a shot brad! Still have ingredients left.

Ok, so I got a little too excited about my new brewing setup and bought a crap load of ingredients. I have two brew kits under my belt which I'm about to transfer to secondary. I'm mainly worried about the crushed grains I received yesterday. I've heard that I must use them quick. I can...

...yummy...

+1 on this! lol Hmmmm..... maybe I should get rid of my bed and use a hammock so I can have more space for me beer equipment!! haha.

That's true.... I was just worried I was gonna burn my tongue off with hops. Thanks.

Hey all, I thought I made my first two batches without any major mistakes, but now I know I made a fairly significant mistake.... but just how big? My batches were extract kits from Brewer's Best (American Amber and California Imperial Pale Ale) and I used a full boil (I have a 9g pot)...

6529.5 + 5.5 (Imperial Pale Ale) ---------- =6535

+5 American Amber = 6349

Awesome guys, thanks! Got 'er wrapped in a blanket now. It's true: Better safe than sorry. Don't wanna wait for a month for some skunked up beer.

So I've got my first batch of homebrew in the fermenter! (Amber Ale from Brewer's Best) Everything went pretty smoothly and I'm pretty hopeful about the final result. It's been 6 hours and it's beginning to ferment. So it's really interesting watching the fermentation process and I'm...
