Welcome! and don't forget us (me) in Ames! :D

Looking for bottles anywhere in Iowa... Also going to be in Kansas City this weekend for the Big 12 tourney...

So I am looking at getting a corona style mill... I am attempting to get through the thread, (currently on page 27...) and just wondering if there is an exact brand that is better than others? Should I get one from discount Tommy's (they are listed for $24.00 and free shipping) or should I get...

Well I don't know if you should base your decision off of me.... I could have screwed it up... I tried one last night, and it smelled decent, and the initial taste was nice too, but the after taste was kinda funky... I'm hoping that it will continue to condition out... It was kinda carmel-ly...

Alrighty... Well since I didn't know what to do I just bottled it... Hopefully it will just continue to condition in the bottle... The smell is probably normal, it's my first blonde so I was probably just a little apprehensive...

I have mainly done extract, but have done one successful all grain batch, using a bottling bucket as my mash tun... I have safale- 04 and 05 washed and in the fridge.

I have a batch of edworts aging right now in bottles....

Thanks for all of the suggestions! Keep them coming if you want! If all grain will be cheaper I don't mind doing that over extract in relation to saving time. I have a lot of free time during the weekend to brew, all grain or extract... As for buying in bulk, I don't think that is an option...

Either would work for me

I LIKE BEER... with that obvious statement out of the way, I am looking to brew another batch, but I am a college student and seeing how it is the middle of the second semester, I am already very low on funding... This is where my question comes in. I am wondering if anyone had a decent...

Oh got ya... and what does it take to become a supporting member? Thanks for the reply!

How did you guys enter the giveaway? Its probably to late to enter at this time right? Just curious for next time....

Yeah, I had read that after fermentation was done, which I assumed it was bc I got a reading of 1.012 three days in a row with an OG of 1.050 that you could rack onto gelatin and cold crash for 2 days and bottle.... This is only my second brew. My other brew which was a pilsner extract kit, I...

It was stated in an earlier post that it was up to Ed and he said sure...

So do you think that it will still condition ok in the bottle? I bottled it today...

Alright, thanks for the suggestion... I just thought it was good to go bc the original gravity was 1.050 and when checking for the final gravity, I got a reading of 1.012 3 days in a row, that's why I racked to secondary on the gelatin...

What do you mean look at the bottom? I have it in a bucket so I can't see the bottom, but r u saying it should be clear on the bottom?

I brewed a blonde ale kit last weekend. It fermented quickly this past week and I transferred it to secondary yesterday on some knox gelatin for a quick clearing. I have two issues.. i think... 1. I just drank my first blond (store bought) tonight and realized that my blonde smelled...

Alrighty, I guess I will see how this one turns out and give 'er another shot! Thanks for all of the help!

Other than getting a better crush, what would you suggest to make sure that the corn is "well cooked prior to the mash?" Is what I did not good enough? What should I have done differently? Thanks!
