Ahhhhh..very good point. I'm just glad I dont have to chuck it and start over. Anyway thanks so much for passing on your wisdom.

Thanks for the info guys. Are you suggesting that the wort I've created WILL infact be infected and useless in the next month or so --even in the fridge? I'm not argueing with you just trying to learn. I assumed that boiling in the BOP and then boiling in the jar and sealing at that time would...

I read a few tidbits of info on this subject and asked for more but I decided to take a stab at it myself. It did'nt seem all that difficult so I took the plung and gave it a go....I boiled 2 gallons of water and added a LME (Andersons Kicker LME 1.1lb can) my finishing gravity was 1040. Then I...

EdWort or h22lude............please start this thread and call it something like making canned starter wort, or canned starter wort for the future or something like that. This seems like a pretty cool addition to the knowledge that a brewer can use. I'm getting grain this wkend to try this, no...

Can you please pass on the nohow to make starter wort @1040 for canning. You said you have 1.50$ in grain - is that 2 row base malt?? If I wanted 4 quarts of starter wort thats a 2 gallon boil and how much grain??? dummy it down for me please-please-please.

swampass, sorry bout your luck---but at least its FINALY cool enough to brew outside in the garage. This is my first brew since that damned heat left. 105F is just tooooo hot to brew. This am it was 68F outside and the cooking was acually fun. In the fermenter now and counting the days to...

I too did my first AG (BIAB) today, started at 6 am. Could'nt sleep so I got up and got on with it. Had the ingrediants for BM Centennial Blonde waiting for the right time and today was the day. Super easy and lots of fun actually. I cant wait to see what everybody is bragging about.:rockin:

I knew I was hooked when I gave away my last six pack (AHS Blue Moon Clone) just so I could brew the Biermuncher Centennial Blonde I ordered. First AG and couldn't wait to get started.:drunk: Oh well get your brew on.

Why not split into 2 fermenters and use both yeasts. It can't hurt really and just might be a humdinger of a brew!!!!

What yeast did you use??? That made a big difference in mine, with safale us-05 I swear I was eating a grapefruit, way to strong for me. Now it could have been the combo of hops with that yeast buuuuut...... I made several brews with this yeast and they each had that grapefruit background so I...

So, did I read right, it was in primary for 5 weeks?? No judging just taking notes. 2 weeks prim. and then add corr. and zest for 3 weeks?? finished recipe please.

Just my .o2$....Try Martinelli's apple juice jug. Why???? Well I found that it has a flat interior bottom which works well with a stir bar. Most glassware out there has a convexed interior which is not so good for a starter jug.(you know humped up on the inside-which of course will throw the...

How much should he have used to prime 5 gallons worth of bottles. 1 full cup or go with the cup and 1/4???? And does the type of DME really make a hugh difference???

If 70F is ideal and 66-68F might take a little while longer, what about 75-78F. Thats what the temp range of my spare bath is. Hope I'm not creating problems for myself. Is that too hot??

Just a quick question for Revvy since hes in this thread.... can I carbonate in the bottle with DME, would it provide a diff. taste or should I just stick with corn sugar. Looked but could'nt find this answer. Thanks in advance.

Dude..thats so funny, cause I brewed a 15 min pale ale this am and I'm gonna call it Hurricane Pale Ale for the obvious reasons. We are getting wind gusts now -- good luck.:mug:

I see you cats are useing S-05 and talking high temps but I'm curious as to the negitive effects of colder or should I say cooler temps like 57F. I keep getting a grapefruit like taste to all my brews, and to be truthfull its really startin to piss me off cause I cant figger it out. Is it the...

I havent eaten them myself but my horses love em. They come a runnin when its brew time. I dont do AG yet but the steeping grains we use are still yummy to my equine freinds. From the sounds of those recipes I've been wasting some really good grains. Arrgghhhhhh.

I too used the AHS Pumpkin Smash kit, and I also added more spice. To the kit I added a big can of spiced pump meat(baked for 45 mins to caramalize) and one of those little (about 1 inch tall) jugs of McCormicks pumpkin pie spice mix, yes the whole thing. The label said this jug would do 3 pies...

Alcohol is forbidden but if you strap a bomb to your self and go for it ---- heaven and 40 virgins await?????? Things that make ya go hummmmmm.
