That's what I thought, but wanted to verify. Thanks!! Edit: When you go all-grain, do you still use milled grains?

I'm ordering some ingredients online for my first non-kit brew. I'm doing an extract nut brown, and it calls for half a pound of chocolate malt. On morebeer it has 2 types, milled or unmilled. Which should I get for extract? Or does it always have to be milled, they just supply unmilled so...

I bottled mine 2 days ago. The FG got down to 1.022, yielding about 4.3 abv. I'm definitely satisfied with that result, considering how it started.

Hey all! A friend of mine is looking to get started into the wonderful world of brewing. He has a strong desire to start off AG, as it goes with his whole cooking philosophy. I only have 2 batches under my belt, both being extract, so I am way too big of a noob to have any sound advice for...

any updates on this? been 5 days.

that's my goal!

Sure enough, mine got stuck as well. I modded the recipe slightly by changing the yeast to an activator pack of wyeast 1098. Same as everyone else, OG was good at 1.056, stuck SG at 1.030. I tasted it before i apparently oxidized the crap out of my beer trying to rouse the yeast (ugh, idiot)...

wow, interesting that i found this here. i had pre-planned to start this exact kit today! keep this thread going on what you guys find, and i will do the same. :mug:

Thanks! I now have some bubbles coming out of my airlock, and it's starting to settle in that I'm actually making beer! This is going to be the longest waiting period of my life.

Hey everyone! My name is Brian. A buddy and I have been talking about getting into homebrewing for years. We ran into a little extra money, so yesterday, we went to the supply store nearby and purchased a brewer's best starter set and 3 ingredient kits. (marzen, oatmeal stout, and an ipa) We...
