Nice. I have an Amber that will be sitting for 4 weeks before brew day. So it sounds like it should be fine. I just need to stay outta the recipe forum and MLHBS until these are completed.

Oops! I thought this was in the beginners forum. Sorry

I purchased a few kits that I plan on brewing and every time I go to MLHBS or look on here something else catches my eye that I want to brew next. I'm about ready to get another bucket or carboy for a primary, but for now I only have one. With that said, I have three kits that are gonna be...

I got the W.A.Y. single step no-rinse cleaner and have some mixed with water just sitting in the bottling bucket. Is this bad?

Well, I purchased one of those 5 gal better bottles for a secondary. I also got a drilled stopper and another airlock. I hope thats right by the way. Thanks for everyone's input, if it wasn't for all of you I would have gotten a 6.5 gallon for a secondary.

Sorry if this has been posted many times before. But I am wondering if getting a glass carboy for a secondary is a must? I have just the basic bucket and I am looking to get the best results. So what should I get? Is the 6.5 the norm for 5 gallons of brew? I was looking online and wasnt sure if...

Thanks for the reply, I guess I was just wondering if kegging it affects the taste sice it doesn't age as long (i think). Im sitting around having a couple beers as we speak :drunk: so maybe Im not wording my thoughts right. Im just gonna go for the kegging. I think it would be so cool to have a...

Well, im a noob and I have definitely jumped head first into this great hobby! Ive made three batches and none are ready for drinking yet, but I already know this stuff is for me! I was just wondering, do you get the full taste of the home brew from the keg? I was thinking maybe not because it...

Hello, I was wondering if someone out there had a fairly easy recipe for this brew or maybe something similar. Ive only made three batches, which were all kits. I was gonna do a brewers best again, the brown ale and didnt know if it was similar to this beer. All help would be appreciated! Thanks...

This sounds really tasty! I was wondering is it a very filling beer? Maybe a one and done? I'm also wondering how you added the coffee. Did you just put in right into the brew?

I got the same gravity reading three days in a row after 10 days. Is that wrong to bottle then? It was only my second batch so hopefully it still comes out good.

By the way that breakfast stout sounds delicious!

Can I add it after the brew process? Because I brewed it last night. I was thinking maybe to add something before I rack the brew.

This is my 3rd batch so I'm venturing out a little. So I bought the brewers best Irish stout and steeped .5 lbs of oats during the brewing process. I was just wondering if anyone has some suggestions on how I can make this the best beer known to man. I took a sip when I did a gravity reading and...

Cool! It sounds like ill be good! I wasnt worried about infection, I was just worried that the priming sugar would somehow affect the carbonation process, since I didnt heat it and dissolve it. Thanks alot for all the replies! Ive told many people of this great website, and the replies proved my...

Well, I didnt heat the priming sugar in water. I just sprinkled it as the beer was siphoning into the bottling bucket. Should I save some hassle and dump every bottle? Thx

I was thinking the same thing, I tried my first home brew and there was no sediment at all.

We sure are! I seen the home brew store "What Ales Ya" on Fox 10 news and decided to give it a try. Ill tell you what, I'm so happy I did! Its an awesome hobby! And one you sure can enjoy!

Well, I sure dont know how it can get any better! I made my first batch, which was an awesome experience by the way, and let it ferment for 10 days, then bottled. Its only been bottled for 5 days and impatient me just couldn't wait to take a sample. Well the beer is amazing! I know its supposed...

I have never done that. I was wondering if you could make it with LME and just add the oats. Or something easy like that.
