Thanks Shawnbou I'll probably rack it and wait a month. Meanwhile i'll drink Boston lager .

Yep, O.G. 1.050 I agree , but will it hurt to leave it in the secondary for a month?

Hey folks, i brewed a Nukey brown ale kit from NB 3 weeks ago this comeing Sat. and have to leave home for work on the 15th feb. I really know nothing about this style of beer and can't decide if i should bottle it or if i would be better off to rack it to my carboy for the month i will be away...

Getting ready to brew an American pale ale and will be using a dry yeast (safale US-05) What if i boil a cup of water and a tbs. of the dme i will be using in my brew, cool it down then add my yeast about an hour before i start my brew? Will this work as a quick starter? I don't see how it could...

Thanks folks. I can handle 6% :drunk: and i will cut the carmal. 2 oz of hops is about all i can take lol. I don't like a really bitter beer.

I'm new at this also, getting ready to brew batch #4. Bottled my first batch after 15 days. It turned out good but i wish i had waited another 2 weeks. My #2 batch was in primary for 32 days and has been in secondary for 8 and will bottle in 2 more days. I know It's ready and it's really clear...

3 lb. amber lme, 3 lb. light lme ,1lb. light dme, 2 oz. cascade , 1lb carmal 20 for steeping, 1 pack Safale S-05 ale yeast. I think 1 lb. of carmal 20 is to much ? Any suggestions on what i could add or take away from this brew ? Looking for a drinkable 5% abv beer with color between a pale ale...

:mug:

I may be stupid but i just racked to a glass secondary this morning after it sat in the primary for 33 days..Now i can watch it clear up.

Trust me.........It gets better

I've been away from home a month due to my job and when i got home yesterday my wife had six in the cooler waiting for me.What a difference a month makes !! 33 days in the bottle when i opened the first one.The brew was clear, fully carbonated and was not quiet as bitter. I thought this was a...

It is carbonated, the first one was hard to pour but it was warm. The chilled one poured perfect.

I just hope it don't blow up while i'm gone.LOL

I botteled my first batch (truebrew all malt amber) 3 days ago. I leave tomorrow for work and will be gone a month so i thought i would pop a top and try one. Well, I was shocked to say the least because its only been in the bottle 3 days but folks this is some of the best beer i have ever...

I'm a greenhorn brewer also and brewed the same kit as you on Dec.1.Just botteled it and it's pretty bitter also.The lme was hopped and it came with 1 oz. of cascade that i added after the extract quit foaming then let it boil for 30 min.Tasted purdy good, i drank about 8 oz.lol Maybe just the hops.

one more question. What the heck have i brewed here, an ale or just some unknown homebrew. seriously i really don't know what to call it lol

Sorry for the confusion. Was talking about fermenting beer.Thanks

Just bottled my first brew,amber ale extract kit and brewed another friday night.Similar to the first but with changes.3.3 lb. hopped amber lme, 3 lb. extra light dme. 1 oz. cascade hops ,1/2 added at first of boil and 1/2 added the last 5 min. I used nottingham yeast. I used botteled water this...

Kinda late to reply i guess but i am getting ready to brew this batch tonight. As to the IBUs, the can of hopped lme says bitterness (ebu)45-55 so i'm thinkin thats good and will add the hops as you recomended. i also changed the yeast to nottingham.Thanks for the help and forgive my ignorance...

Uh Hummm, Oh I forgot what i was gonna say, but i still like beer in a mug and nude hose on a lady's legs. I'm still learning don't shoot me!
