Here is the story... I had a brewers best kit for a scotch ale. I decided to modify it based off of some recommendations that I found on the forums somewhere. The recipe looked like this: 3.3 Lbs Amber LME 3 Lbs Light DME 1 Lbs Amber DME 5 oz Crystal 60L 5 oz Chocolate Malt 5 oz...

Awesome that's what I thought!!

I met a guy tonight that sold me 2 glass carboys (1 6gal an 1 5gal) plus 3 kegs (2 pin 1 ball) and a 10lb co2 canister for 50$. You guys think I got a good deal?

Thanks guys!

I use Starsan to clean/sanitize my carboy. I did rack on some foam so that might be some of the bubbles. I was more concerned with the whitish creamy looking stuff. I am still a novice and this is only my second batch, I suppose I just need to relax and see what happens.

Thanks a lot! That sounds great. I signed up for the newsletter and hopefully I will be able to make it to one of the meetings.
