I've got a Brewer's Best Robust Porter in a carboy that will be bottled next week. It's been in primary for 3 1/2 weeks now and I can't wait to try it. I also have a Northern Brewer's Bourbon Barrel Porter that I'll brew next week. I hear it's supposed to be pretty tasty:D Whatever you decide...

Grat's on your first brew:rockin: I get help from my SWMBO during bottling as well. It really makes things alot easier when I fill the bottles and she caps. Now get crankin more brews out and get that pipeline going cuz that first batch will go fast!

ChshreCat you da man! Thanks alot. I can't wait till I get home to try out your Brown Biscuit Ale recipe! I'll keep ya posted.

Thanks for the great info Bob. That's very helpfull and good to know. ChshreCat, if you get some time and are feeling up to it can you explain your method on using the pasta pot and strainer? Is it basically like steeping specialty grains or do I need to keep pouring heated water over the...

I have enough for two 5 gallon brews. I think what I'm going to do is make the regular brown ale as it's suposed to be made. The other will just be an experiment. We'll see how it turns out.

Yooper that recipe is almost exactly what I had in mind before I noticed Brown ales were being done with a different extract. I was planning on using Cascade Hops and tinkering with the idea of throwing a few orange peels in at the last 10 minutes of boil. I'm also going with WLP060 American Ale...

Heya guys. I've got 6 lbs of Amber LME and 6 lbs of Amber DME. What kinda brews do you usually make with these? I'm thinkin mabye some kinda Brown Ale, though I know those are usually made with Light malt extract. Or even mabye a porter of some kind. I don't know. I'm still pretty new at this...

Oh man I can't wait to brew this! I'm away from home for work but when I get back Sunday I'm hittin the kitchen! (The only time a man should be excited about that):D I won't mind the wait. I allready have a couple of batches in the pipe line and two more that will be bottled next week. I will...

I seen the Bourbon Barrel Porter on Northern Brewer, and thought it would be too good to pass up! So without a second thought it went into the cart.:D I was just wondering if anybody else has tried this kit out and what they've thought about it.

Aparently Doc doesn't have the type of inlaws I do;)

You should be fine. I doubt you'll get an infection as long as you were sanitary. Never pitch a homebrew. Even if it's bad it can be given to inlaws! Grats on your first brew and welcome to the addiction!:mug:

Glad to hear your brew is saved! Having that much beer get ruined is enough to make any grown man cry!:mug:

Thanks for the help fellas.

I just recently started brewing and my LHBS recomended 1 Step. From what I've been hearing it seems that stuff is junk. I've checked out Star San but it looks like it's hard on soft metels, plastics and rubber. I'm just wondering what would work best for sanitizing equipment like auto siphen...

Those handles are UBER SWEET! :rockin:

Welcome to homebrewing. At least you were able to identify what you did wrong and adjust fire on your next batch. Keep brewing as often as you can and you'll get the jist of it pretty quick. My second batch is allready in my primary before my first batch has even had enough time to...

Getcha one of them bio-hazard signs for the "infected beers";)

Sweet! Gotta respect the "Ninja Brew":mug:

Livin the dream! Keep us informed on how the bizz goes. Best of luck to you!:mug:
