I am in Zionsville, and looking for a beer club to join. I have been brewing a little of a year all extract. I did brew with guys at Tuxedo and they taught me the basics on grain. Did you Fishers guys join FBI? Thanks

http://www.northernbrewer.com/documentation/beerkits/BlackIPA.pdf Here is a link to the kit. So it was 9.5 of malt syrup. My bad for the mistake. I thought it was Candy syrup. My batch did not turn out no big surprise there. I understand brewing is serious and important. I have only...

My bad it was 9.5 lbs

I have brewed 2 kits from http://www.highgravitybrew.com One was 9.75% and the other was 8.5%. Northern brewers Black IPA is over 10%. It calls for sugar at the end of the boil. Some of the Triple Belgian kits are close to 10%. My problem with some of these kits is you really need a yeast...

After a year of extract brewing I am looking to make the jump to all grain. Extract brewing is awesome and does not take up that much time but I feel like the next step to become a great brewer is all grain.

Right on!

This might be a dumb question but are there sites that will let you design your own extract kit? Thanks

So what are some good summer kits? I just brewed a Uncommon Honey Steam from MidWest. So I am looking for another to brew in a couple of weeks?

Thanks! sorry about the Sp in the title.

I am using the basic equipment for extract brewing 5 gallon batches. Could I up grade equipment for this type of brewing? Thanks

How do you know if the yeast stalled out on you? The kit called for 7 day in the primary SG 1.40 Transferred to secondary and I am still at 1.40? This is a strong farm house ale. Thoughts?

I brewed NB's Black IPA and had some problems with it. There is so much sugar in this kit that when I bottled they carbed up really fast. I have volcanoes with 22oz bottles. The kit calls for 1lb of corn sugar at the end of the boil. I am a rookie so I am sure I did a couple of thing wrong.

Thanks for the feed back. So in a bucket the extra room vs carboy has no impact on fermentation. Thanks

I would like some feedback on what is better for both primary fermentation and secondary. I switched to a bucket for primary because it is easier to transport. I can't tell if it's having an impact on the brewing process. Thoughts? Thanks

Thanks

I made a 2X IPA kit that called for a dry hop for 2 weeks in the secondary. When I bottled (22oz) I have a lot of floaters. Will dry hopping 2 weeks create floaters? The floaters looks like dissolved hops.

Good info thank you! QUOTE=Calder;3943889]The traditional Saisons of 100 years ago were generally low in alcohol (so the workers would still be able to work), but more modern examples are quite high in alcohol (6 to 8%). There is usually very little hop flavor to it, the flavor is...

Thanks I ended up ordering Garde-de-Biere- form Highgravity beers. I like higher alcohol in my home ale but I will check ithaca

I thinking of brewing a Farm House ale kit. My basement could simulate a cellar during the fermentation process. I have never had a farm house ale. Is there a large variations in styles? Thanks

I am a super rookie but I did 3x Belgian that came out sweet. These high gravity beers really need a yeast starter. Mine really did not turn out well. After 90 days it was still on the sweet side.
