Nope! Would that be just boiling water and adding hops?

wow, that was quick. I like all those ideas and I will definitely check out that book. I am getting a bit tired of the lack of control with extract brewing, but as of now I have little to no understanding of all grain brewing, but I really, REALLY want to have that control. I am actually...

I perused the first couple pages of this sub forum for a topic like this. I have brewed about 10 batches without kits or recipes and 2 kits. I love brewing, it's quite possibly my favorite hobby since I've started playing guitar- I guess it's the artist in me. I don't really have any...

I am thinking the improper mixing. we poured 1 gallon of water in at first, wort, then another gallon, then dove in with a sanitized glass for a sample. We didn't shake it or stir it before getting the sample. this is starting to make me wonder if it is causing an off flavor in the beers. I...

from what I gather, it doesn't make a .02 difference for a few degrees. corrrect me if I am wrong.

quick question, so I didn't scour the forum for this asked previously.... but, we added 2 gallons of water to our wort after boiling (all DME late extract addition) and our calculated OG was 1.080. I fell short considerbly, but I simply took a sample off the top after pouring water on top...

Im also getting a twang. hopefully my lbhs will taste mine and see if he can put his finger on it. it's on all brews, but we haven't done late extract until yesterday and 2 gallon boils. we did do a couple half batches, and that twang is still there, but not as prominent. I'm thinking it does...

that is nice to know :mug: just dry hopped it with EKG last night. 2 more weeks and it's bottle time :D

It was fermented for about 4 weeks and a day or two. I am rushing it a bit I know :( but I'm just so eager.

I'm trying to make a quality tasting IIPA. I've brewed one that has turned out pretty decent (It's been bottled a week and I cant stop opening one to see how it has turned out everyday) and I wanted to improve upon it. I have a couple issues and was looking for advice.... 1- I only have a 20...

I have a 5 gallon secondary. I wasn't sure if it would be worth while to use a 5 gallon carboy for a 2.5 gallon batch.

This is the batch I brewed last night. I think it looks and smells pretty good. I don't really have exact reasons why I came up with some of the timings or hop choices, but I was wondering what to think I can expect. I had a spare 3.3 lbs breiss amber malt and some spare time so I went to the...

'nuff said. (and thanks!)

Between a friend and I we have brewed about 12 batches using malt extracts. I finally tried to do my own IPA at home. As a standard, we have been doing 2 weeks in the primary (Ale pail) and 2 weeks in the glass car boy. I'm not exactly sure why we have chosen 2 weeks and 2 weeks, but I am at...

Whats up Buffalo, NY? I went the other way and am now in bama. We just had some beer laws change, and it got me into home brewing. Picked up some northern brewing scene magazine in the home brew store here local, and it mentioned coles. I lol'd pretty good, but if you haven't been there, go on...

:mug: I just did my first batch at a friends and bought some so I can get going at home too.

good to know. I am getting tired of the local guy and just ordered my first set from there. :rockin:
