Finished cooling it and pitching the yeast about an hour ago. She's all sealed up and put in closet now. Thanks again for the help ya'll! I'll post an update when the time comes.

Great! thank you all so much for your help! Ive just started the boil now. Ill keep this updated!

Im not too worried about having a lower gravity. If i can have the beer around 5.5% with just the 7 lbs of dme ill do that

Hmm, I have a spare pound of Breiss Sparking Amber DME. Would it make sense to use that for an 8th pound of DME?

Should i add in a half pound of sugar? I was thinking about doing 3 lbs of DME for the boil then adding the other 4 lbs at the end. Does that sound okay? Edit: turns out I dont have any sugar at home... >.<

How necessary is it to add sugar if im using 7 lbs of DME? Table sugar is ok?

My question right now is how much water should I steep the malts in?

Back from the brew store. They were out of Amarillo :/ so I picked up 2 oz of Cascade instead. cascade AA is 6.9% I would like to use the 2 oz of Mosaic I have as well. Picked up 7 lbs of Golden Light DME and 8 oz of Crystal 40.

Sound good, Thanks! They open in a half-hour so I will be back in about an hour. 2 oz magnum?

Simcoe 12.3% AA Mosaic 12.7% AA Amarillo I am unsure at the moment. I'm waiting for the brew supply store to open then I'm going to pick up what I dont have

I'd like to make a higher gravity beer, but not really high. Somewhere around 7% abv would be ideal to me.

Hey everybody! I've been lurking the forums for a little while now and I am finally at the point where I am ready to start brewing. I've read through a lot of John Palmer's How to Brew and browsed the forums a good amount and feel like I have a basic grasp of what I want to brew. I love simcoe...
