Hey everyone. I'm looking for a place to order Wyeast Ale yeast that's reasonably priced and reliable to shop with. I usually use dried yeast from my local homebrew store but their selection of liquid yeast is very limited, and I'm trying to start experimenting with liquid yeast. Thanks...

Lost, thanks once again for your advice. Being that I am a stout fan and that state law where I live limits beer in stores to around 6.0 or something like that, I might take you up on the imperial stout. As for the Sauza Hornitos, for it's price and degree of mass-production, it's damn decent...

Thank you all for the replies. I took a hydrometer reading today and it appears it's just done. Had a few people tell me that the Cooper's yeast acts pretty fast, especially in the warmer ambient air temperature of my house, and that the 6.6 lbs (I actually used a little less than 6.6) of LME...

Thank you both for the advice. That makes sense, plus I learned something new. I just figured that 3.4% might be a little too low to be "acceptable" for lack of a better word, but I guess homebrewing is all about appreciation of taste. captaineriv

Hey and thanks for replying. I've posted on a couple of other boards and everyone seems to agree with you that everything is probably all good. I just don't have anything to compare to with this being my first batch. I don't have a secondary yet, so on day 7 or so, I'll probly go ahead and...

Thanks for replying so quickly! I think I'll take a hydro reading on day 5 or so and see what's going on in there. I'll definitely let you guys know if I find out anything new. If it's a low ABV, I can always pretend I'm drinking Mich Ultra ;) Thanks again captaineriv

Hi everyone. This is my first batch and I used the Cooper's 3.3 lb ingredient kit that includes the malt and dried yeast. Also, my local homebrew store reccomended that I use 3.3 lbs more of malt for 5 gallons. I did all of this, combined the wort to the water in my fermenter, gave it a few...
