Then I must be living in a fantasy world because it is quite real to me. Even the Unicorn Bob and the God Thor agree with me. :mug: This has been a great thread and there is a lot to consider. I am particularly interested in partial boils vs full boils and DME vs LME. SO far I have been doing...

Thank you. I am checking that out. ;)

Yes, you are right, I don't want to hear that... at least not yet. I can only afford so much and kegging is on the list after acquiring an all grain brewing set up and a beer fridge. So, we may not see kegging for another 10+ months. I know what you mean by aging longer. I have a True Brew...

Hi folks. I bet this question has been asked on different levels, as I have seen in a few threads, but I thought I would ask it to see what advice I could garner for my specific kit(s). History: I have brewed a few extract kits and they have all come up short on flavor or mouthfeel. I have...

I just found a new process to add to my bottle cleaning: petting them and calling them George. Classic! :D

I like that idea. In the future I may have to recruit some others than myself and my wife. My first and successful amber ale was enjoyed by many. I got a lot of feedback about it. None of it seems to apply to these two mishaps. I may sample my IPA tonight. It is close to the end of its aging.

Yes, I am aware that a hydrometer doesn't have anything to do with flavor, but that the beer was finished fermenting. Maybe the off flavor was the Kreamex bottling sugar. Maybe I didn't let the grains steep long enough. That Pac-Man yeast does seem awefully powerful.

In the fermentor. I am sure the fermenting temps were between 68* and 64* during the fermentation. Pacman yeast for the Dead Guy Ale. Not sure the other yeast for the True Brew porter, but it was the stock Muntuns. Both kits had grains to steep, with malt extracts boiled down after steeping.

It started at 68* and ended at 64*. It did not fluctuate wildly in between those two temps for 7 days of fermenting, but it gradually cooled.

Starting fermentation temp: 68* Finishing temp: 64* I did not add any yeast nutrient. I pitched yeast in the upper 60's on every batch. The only sugar I added was at the time of bottling. That is with exception to the candi sugar that was part of the recipes. Thanks for the response.

I am new to homebrewing as a whole, although I did assist in some mead making and beer brewing another lifetime ago. When I got into making beer on my own it was January of 2009. My first recipie kit was a True Brew All Malt Amber. Without the usage of my hydrometer I simpley made the beer and...

It is Altar/Alter... it is in a constant state of flux, Berserker. Depending on which forum I am on my name seems to switch back and forth. :-)

Hello folks. I am fairly new to home brewing on my own. My only beer bottled as of yet is a True Brew All Malt Amber Ale that turned out very good and turned me on to home brewing. My future brews slated for the next couple of weeks are a Rogue clone kit for their Dead Man Ale and a True...
