I know I know, I just needed to hear it from someone to help keep me in check. I'm all out of homebrew and this is the only thing I have close. I need to brew something with a quick turnaround and soon!

Did anyone brew this on or around August 1st? I'm wondering how everyone's bottle carbonation is coming along.

I believe that my ferm temps for S04 may have been a little high and the esters and phenols have diluted the spice flavors. I"m thinking I'll add a pie spice tincture at bottling time since it's currently under spiced for my tastes. Does anyone have any advice/measurements for creating a...

I know everyone's tastes are different, but after brewing the extract recipe and fermentingt for three weeks, the beer doesn't seem as pumpkin spiced as I'd like. My favorite was/is Michigan Brewing Co. Screamin' Pumpkin. My question is, should I bottle now and wait then taste. Or move to...

I may have missed it, but has anyone talked about using O2 to aerate? Does anyone following this thread use the O2 system from William's Brewing?

This was my first kit. I want to brew it again now that I've had some more experience.

That is amazeballs!

What was the OG and what was the reading that you took after two weeks?

Brewed this a week ago today. Did the extract recipe and got a OG of 1.070. Pitched two packs of S04. Took a FG reading today and it was at 1.014.

I don't have any advice but man do I want to try adding juniper berries to a black IPA.

If it helps, I've read that controlling temp is most important during the first few days (3-4?). So it's not like you'd have to have a swamp cooler chilling in the middle of the room for three weeks during the entire fermentation process.

I plan on brewing this tomorrow and am going to steep the grains in one bag and the pumpkin in another at the same time in the same pot for 30 minutes.

I'm brewing the Punkin' Ale recipe by Reno_eNVy. Very exited about this one and it will be my fifth batch so far.

Carb tabs have worked pretty good for me when I only wanted to bottle a sixer.

Is it possible that the priming sugar simply did not evenly mix with the beer prior to bottling?

Built one of these last night. It works awesome!

Couple of questions I've heard others ask when it comes to carbing issues: 1: How long are you letting the bottles sit before trying one? 2. What temperature are you storing the bottles? 3. What type of beer are you referring to? The 330ML bottles turn out perfectly fine?

Go spend $3-4 on a pack of three paint strainer bags to place over your autosiphon. Works amazingly well.

Are those ferm temps the ambient temperature or the temp of the actual beer? How long did you let it bottle condition?

If I were you, I'd go a whole different route. I'd get a second primary fermentor!
