Just gave it a paper grocery bag sleeve (saw it on a youtube video) so that its protected from any light in my basement. :) Everything seems to be going great!!

First pic shortly after, 2nd pic about 4 hours later ok, I was taking the advice of my buddy and letting the yeast get going real good for a few hours before moving it to my basement.... Here's what it looks like this morning. 64 degrees and bubbling about once every 10 seconds

my temp in my basement right now ranges between 59 and 64. right now its 61. per the recipe it should be between 60 and 66.

It was an Anchor Steam beer clone recipe. I brewed it this afternoon. I started a new thread that I'll be updating along the way. My First Brew

Hello all, I did my first brew today. It was an anchor steam beer clone. i had my buddy who does All Grain brewing watch over me and give me some pointers for my first brew. Everything went real smoothly. It is now in my basement bubbling away. I put it in the carboy at approx. 4...

I'll look into it! Thanks! I didn't buy a kit, i bought ingredients for a recipe. The kit for the same style beer Was $38. Which is a compareable price to NB (theirs is $34 then you have to pay $8 shipping) so its only a few dollars difference for getting it right away vs having it shipped...

Awesome!! I can't wait:ban:

sounds good. Rinse it is!

the kit im using came with C-bright...but it doesn't say if it is no rinse or not.... color me confused.

Im all set for tomorrow! ended up picking up a 5 gallon better bottle for my secondary... here's my recipe for tomorrow: California Steam Beer Clone: 14 oz crystal malt 3.5 lbs extra light DME 2.75 lbs light DME 1.2 oz Norther Brewer Hops 1/2 oz NB hops 1 tsp. Irish Moss...

extract prices is what kills it. the kit is $10 cheaper than the ingredients for my recipe, but i don't know what exactly comes in the kit. Im about to head to my LHBS and check them out...GEAR JUST GOT HERE!!

yeah, i know the proccess. I helped my buddy do an AG chocolate bock, which inturn got me addicted to brewing... I just don't have a mash ton right now...i figure 5-6 extract batches and i'll be dying to go AG

i checked CL around here....nothing but a waaaaaay overpriced carboy. Consider yourself LUCKY!

I ordered my kit from amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BU7CVM/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 should be here tomorrow.

Thanks!! Yeah i figure i'll do 5-6 extract recipes and then try and go all grain. My buddy made his mash ton out of a coleman cooler...I need to look into a wort cooler. My buddy just ice baths his and he hasn't had any issues doing that... I found an Anchor Steam Clone in my buddy's recipe...

STILL WAITING FOR THE DELIVERY! I have to leave soon, luckily the package doesn't require a signature!

I wish i was ballsy enough to go AG for my first batch, lol. I'll be doing 5-6 extract brews, then hopefully gathering the equipment needed to move to AG.

I really enjoyed this beer! Thanks for posting the extract recipe!!

is the california common too long of a fermentation? I thought that'd be a good one being a Pale Ale. if you have any recipes you think i should give a shot, please share!!
