reviews anyone?

You could put the rest in the fridge, I would put them in 12 pack boxes too if you have them. Also I think its a good idea to take a gravity sampling over 3 or 4 days to make sure it does not change and it is totally done fermenting.

I like AG because i am into learning the great brewing traditions that go back thousands of years, they did not have malt extract in ancient Egypt.... That being said if i am short on time or just want to brew in my kitchen I will do extract. It makes great beer too.

Mines been in the bottle for 6 weeks now, it is Awesome.... Its chocolaty, coffee and hops all day. One of my buddies comment after drinking was " I would pay $10 for a six pack of that" :mug: It did take about a month of bottle conditioning to really get good. I am going to do the all...

Nice! I am looking forward to getting one beer tap going....:mug:

ME is Maine I believe... a ways from Cali but a good excuse to visit the East Coast:mug:

Thats Awesome!!!! me and my girl want to do that but with Pizza instead. Ill keep an eye on this thread, it will be great to see you get everything going on step at a time... Maybe you could have homebrew competitions there when you get up and running. It would be fun and could bring in...

Sounds fun, I set up a blow off for the first time on a heffe. It was a little disappointing not to see all kinds of beer foaming out of the tube.

Drink it

My SWMBO likes brewing and the smell, so I am extremely lucky. After my first couple AG batches I have decided to move outside to speed things up. Also there is no exhaust fan on my stove so I was worried about carbon monoxide. The smell to me is wonderful, I honestly don't see how someone...

Anyone used the step drill that bargain fittings sells? I was thinking of buying one in a month or so for my kettle build. I have used them before when I did my mashtun, great service.

Cool I just finished a Honey Kolsch, i vow to fridge a couple 22's for at least 2 weeks..... So far my carb level has been good, but I am always looking for ways to improve.:tank:

I think it's 1 week in primary, 2 weeks in secondary, and 3 weeks in the bottle. I usually do 2 or 3 weeks primary, 2 or 3 weeks secondary and 3 weeks bottle conditioning. :mug:

Gotta try the 2 week fridge thing, mine are always gone after a day in the fridge. I try to conserve by keeping them in my cellar, but allot of times I just end up putting them in the freezer for 20 minutes and drinking....

I just finished a porter extract w/specialty grains. At 2 weeks in the bottle it was OK but had a kind of sweet soda pop thing going. I waited another 2 weeks and its AWESOME. It does seem like dark beers take longer to condition, my pale ale was ready sooner.

Just buy another fermenter:mug: get the pipeline going:rockin:

I start with around 7 gallons (3 gal mash in , 4 gal sparge), I know I am going to loose a gallon to boil off and a gallon to grain absorption. After the boil I will have right around 5 gal. Like others have said it will very a little depending on your set up.

Nice! that stout looks tasty, Just finished my first AG as well. It was a long brew day but tons of fun and I can't wait to fire up the mash tun again....

I am curious myself to hear some user reviews of those kettles. They seem like a good price and they look cool ... Has anyone used any of his kettles that can chime in with a quick review??
