Wow! Hard to argue with Mc and Raenon. At this point I would say Stay like the Stone you are bro. Let her ride the juice is a turnin and churnin Like another member likes to say The brewer makes fermentables but yeast makes Beer. Ya I know I butchered that quote. Lol Sleep well and think tiny...

No complaints with the directions? Just drank too much to follow the priming directions with very desirable results. The boil did take a some volume away but that may have contributed to the complexity and concentration. Not concentrated like the dog fish head 90 but I like that cut with...

What are the shipping costs?

Can someone tell me what the shipping cost on the Midwest Goupon deal?

My first attempt was a BB Irish Stout and not being in the know concerning home brewing I followed the recipe to the letter except the priming sugar. I just stirred it in (a couple half and halves) and those things can happen I guess. The Irish Stout was a little more Hoppy than I expected. I...

I know how brash this thread must sound from a total noob. I made a very successful kit brew and then wanted to put things and colors together that sounded appealing for my next attempt. The only thing I know to call this weird experiment is a California Common Hybrid. Really I stole that...

Just found this link and it has bulk grain with free shipping. Probably old news around here. Are there any other similar sites?

What would be the expected time in the primary? Or just take periodic gravity levels? I would like to have a final gravity of 1.01 but that may not happen.

OK I will see if I can get it cooler. If I can get the temp down to say 60 will this help it ferment better? Also I am not making a lager so how long do you think I need to keep it cool in the secondary when the time comes? And will two weeks or so be suficient in the secondary? Once...

I have the ale pale in a swamp bucket that is located in a cool room. I swap out frozen bottles each day due to it being lager yeast and it is now an avg of 64 to 66 degrees. So I do notice if I move the pale it takes off a little better. Today is day 6 and it started a little late at 48...

I have read mixed comments about adding Fermaid K to the primary. The Cali Steam I have going started at 1.06 (sorta big) the lager yeast is sloow. I understand some use it in Stouts. Getting this 5 1/2 gal of big red hoppy Steam is my objective. I have some Fermaid K but no other yeast...

Put in swamp bucket and a couple frozen half gal bottles then covered. Maintaining 66 to 68 degrees? Still chugging away in the airlock 9 to 10 big blurps each minute. 4 days in Anyone ever use Fermaid K in the primary to help dry the bigger beers?

Dry hop blast from the past! In 13 pages of this thread I see one refferance to Citra Hops. I have a Cali Steam going and want to put a hoppy spin on it. Was wondering if Citra would be a nice compliment or if it would clash with the Cascade bittering and Amarillo aroma? Thx for your feedback.

Well when I got home the temp was around 73 so I took it and put it in the tool shed. When I moved it All of a sudden it took off. It is chugging along pretty good now. Wish I had a duplicate of the Yeast . I would pitch another SmackPac. With a start of 1.06 I wonder if this one PAC has enough...

Hello All I have made a noob error. First of all I have made only one kit prior which was an awesome Irish Stout. My second attempt was a partial grain / extract 1lb each of Honey, Cara Red, Rye Malted Grain from mash tun 160 degrees water in 2 gal cooler for 1 hour This made my Wort Base...
