I am contemplating on buying the fat tire clone from Austin homebrew, and I was just curious as to if anyone has made the kit before and what the final product was like? Would u recommend? I am going to have to do the extract kit bc I can't really accommodate any other method at this point in...

I have done this with a blonde once, but it really hindered the carbonation lag time. It took nearly a month for it to even show any sign of carbonation. I thought I had ruined it and was going to have to drink flat beer! :( so I guess I will go for a quicker turn around time with bubbles and a...

I bottle condition, that's the issue...

That looks great! WAY clearer than mine... I can not seem to ever manage a clear beer... Frustrating....

When I transferred onto the AE mine was at 1.006. I never saw any activity, but when I transferred and bottled, it had dropped to 1.003. Not a huge change, but still a change none the less...

I added my ounce of hops this past weekend... One more week and I get to bottle this weekend! I took a hydrometer reading this past weekend, so one week on the AE took it from 1.008-1.006. I'm hoping this last week will take it down a couple more points! Needless to say, I'm pumped for this one! :P

I racked onto the AE this weekend... After primary fermentation the gravity reading was 1.008... Going to add an ounce of saaz hops next weekend to dry hop for 1 week and then bottle. When racking, the beer actually smelled like miller lite surprisingly. When I tried it out of the hydrometer...

Thanks for the posts... Ill try to figure out the math... Definitely not my strong subject! :) but always up for a challenge... I thought about adding juice until it taste good, but it's for my mom so it would probably end up somewhere like .5% ABV... Lol!

Ok so I am trying to make homemade wine coolers. There isn't a whole lot of info out there about the process, so I apologize for my questions if they seem like nonsense... I started out with some store bought juice (mixture of various kinds...) and I added some dry champagne yeast. It has...

Looks DELICIOUS! What I wouldn't give for one of those right now... Can't think of anything better to finish a night of hellish homework! ;)

Still need some in iowa... But going to Dayton ohio this weekend for the ncaa basketball tourney so if anyone has free bottles in that area I would be interested!!!!!!

Haha no problem, I don't blame you for not reading through everything! I don't know why I enjoy it so much! I can't stand reading anything else... I hope everything works out for you! I wish I could offer more insight, but unfortunately I haven't brewed this one yet... But it's definitely on my...

What recipe did you use?

Yes, that is right... I've never done it, but I have read, and then re-read this post about three times :D and that is talked about, and stated that you just add the powder to the secondary and then rack on top of it.

My recipe calls for both, American, but my hbs only has breiss... What's the difference?

So for the OG of 1.030... Is that pre boil or post boil in the fermenter? So in other words, if I over shoot, I should water it down before I boil? Or should I wait until it is in the fermenter to top off with water to hit 1.030??? Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for the info... As for the hops, I was planning on using the cascade suggested in the OP... What do u think about that? Suggestions?

Did you use raw corn? If so, what is your cereal mash process?

I sent this as a PM to the original poster but thought I would post it on the thread as well... Hey, I am looking to brew this beer for my dad. I just had a couple questions. 1. Does this end up being super hoppy with all of the additions? 2. When I put everything into the hopville...

Hahaha I go there too... Nothing like brewing out of a small apartment! Hahaha
