Have been home brewing for about 6 months now. Have made some great beer with extract kits. Lately i've been drinking a lot of high abv belgian beers, and decided I wanted to make one. I purchased a BrewFerm Belgian Abbey Ale extract kit. This thing comes with some very detailed instructions...

I'm sitting here having my morning coffee, looking at a 2 gallon Oatmeal Stout (all extract) that I made yesterday. It has started to ferment. Being in my 40's I remembered a dumb commercial from my childhood. So now I have the thought of "fermentaa-tion it's making me wait"...running through my...

thanks for the advice. quick question, the extracts ive been using, you boil the base water, then remove it from the heat, mix in the extract then add to the rest of the water in the fermenter. I'm guessing I should still do that, then stir in the lactose? and not actually boil it?

When I say bad...I mean it tasted somewhat chemically. If that makes sense. The recipe was a Mallard Malts one gallon recipe. I dont recall the exact grain/hops combination. I followed the instructions to a tee. The OG reading was 1.049. I didnt take a FG. The yeast was the SAF yeast provided...

So far i've made two batches of beer since I started brewing. One was 1 gallon all grain Belgian Ale recipe. It fermented really well for about 3 days then stopped. I left it in the primary for two weeks, then transferred it to a secondary fermenter for two weeks. Bottled and let it sit for two...

I have brewed with extracts in the past, although not recently. I have decided to get back into homebrewing. After weeks of research I purchased the Best Beer 1 gallon beginner kit. I want to start brewing with grain. My first batch is going to be a Winter Belgian. Starting with a typical...
