I have been to the University Taco Mac, it's nice. Taco Mac is a little too commercialized for me. It feels like an Applebees on steroids. If you really want a good place to spend your time go to the Flying Saucer on Tryon. Hands down my favorite bar in Charlotte. They have just as many beers as...

OK, it sounds like I just have the noob jitters that I messed something up. The dry yeast strain was Safbrew S-33 and it was brand new from the store. I didn't take an SG because I didn't see that until I was reading back through everything later on. I did get a 1020 after about three days...

OK, I am a noob so I might just be freaking out, but I have to ask cause it is killing me. I brewed last saturday night (Saison) so now it has been 6 days. I re-hydrated a dry yeast, but I might have done it wrong. I only let it set for about 6 minutes and I used room temp to cool water, not...

Nice! Concord is just up the street from me. I am over near Harrisburg. Kind of funny comment about the poison thing. My wife hasn't really commented on this whole exploaration yet, but when the beer turns out like motor oil I will expect some fun comments from her as well!

@djevans3 - Thanks! You and I were brewing on the same day then. I did my first 12/31. I grabbed my stuff from Alt Bev. They were having an end of the year 30% off sale so I got a really good deal on a deluke two stage. So far the site has been great! @fraubrauen - You're not kidding that...

Ha! That makes sense. I was wondering what the heck was going on. I've messed with it enough at this point and am going to just leave the blow off in there. Thanks RM!

Wow everyone! Thanks for the quick responses! @Chickypad - The yeast that I used was a dry yeast called Safbrew S-33. It was recommended by the brew store guys. Unfortunately I didn't check my OG because I didn't even realize that there was an hydrometer in the kit until today when I was...

Hi all! I just did my first batch on Saturday and I have a couple of questions. It seems as though I am doing well, I am just crazy anal and want to confirm with the masters out here. The beer is a Saison clone. 1. The temp is right at 68, but I read that Saison's should be higher...

Hi everyone!! I am a new brewer from Charlotte, NC. I won my fantasy football league this year and the winnings were enough for me to purchase a deluxe two stage brewing system! I made my first batch on Saturday and it is a Saison clone. Can't wait!! Looking forward to many more!
