I think I will add just a .5# of sugar to get the fg lower... thanks again. I will post results. And I ebayed that extra can of dark lme and I contacted the seller and they said they would send me light lme instead so illl save it for the next batch... can't wait to brew!!!:mug:

Yes... the 3# of the muntons irish stout, and 3# of dark lme. That was the original amount of fermentables. I was thinking the 3# of lme instead of the add pack. Is that 3# lme enough to replace the recommended 2.2 # for can kits? If it is than I could always use the extra can I got for another...

well i am gonna add another can as per 1mainebrew's advice, but i already ordered dark lme (it was before i read the previous post)... i'll let you know how it turns out... there is homebrew store in brooklyn i could get to before i brew.. should i just get different fermentables ? if im in the...

ha ha... definitely ... should i have gotten 3 lbs of dme? is 3# lme less fermentables than 3# dme ?

thanks! i know im supposed to learn from my first brew but i didnt want to totally screw it up

Thanks calder. Should I brew 5 gallons then or add more fermentables? And if so how much? And I know in order to mimic the creamy head of guinness I need Nitro or the surger or the syringe trick, but as far as carbing when I bottle, should i carb like other beers? Stouts are a little flatter...

ok, i am planning on my first brew.. i have all my equipment, and i already ordered the following. muntons irish stout kit 3 lbs dark lme priming corn sugar .... now i have two questions. first, is the 3 lbs of dark lme enough fermentables for 6 us gallons? second, i want it carbed like...

get a cheap ebay ultra sonic jewelry cleaner and sit your pint in it, run it for a few seconds until you have the creamy head... that's all the surger thing is.. from what i understand the beer doesn't absorb any nitrogen.. its just used to force the beer through restrictor plate/widget to get...

may be a dumb question but, are you pulling the handle all the way to you when you pour? because i know if you don't you get a lot of foam.

i agree. i prefer the creamy, almost flat, smooth, UK session beers to any other beer, i also agree. nicer weather i can go for something crisp. Hell i can even drink ice cold bud in hot weather! (my bro drinks Budweiser like a fish so its often available, not my first choice)

thanks bro! i am interested. I'll send you the shipping or i can even shoot up by you. i worked in the bx for a couple of years so it's no big deal... BTW i shipped it out to you today. enjoy! p.s. let me know how it is when you get it all brewed and bottled.

jrems, i pm'ed you. @ahrenswett i'll pm you if i don't get a response from jrems. i went with the first to reply to be fair

I'm a new brewer and i finally traded up my Mr beer for a 5 gal. setup. i ordered it from Williams and it came with an English bitter kit here http://www.williamsbrewing.com/ENGLISH_BITTER_P282C189.cfm it was shipped out 1/17 and i got it 1/22 and i didn't open the box right away. when i...

has anyone tried to dismantle this thing after the co2 port? like bypass the 16 gram cart? brand new brewer, and i got 4 of these. got a lot of coors light to drink. i figured its a better buy than TAD considering that i got 4 taps, 4 bottles, no shipping, and 6 gallons of ''beer'' (as long as...
