I had a bit of Insomnia last night and tried to get one but it took FOREVER. I can get one if these for $2 at hy-vee. Not knocking the free stuff but its not worth my time.

I bottle. It's a love hate relationship. I have been actively collecting bombers so it doesn't take as long. I will however be building my keezer this winter and starting to keg.

Is this the thread where we share what type of underwear we brew in? I'm more of a boxer-briefs kind of brewer.

Bottled a batch of beer then bottled a batch of appfelwein, put the kids to bed, cleaned the carboy out and filled it back up with appfelwein. Then cleaned up the mess I made in the kitchen. As homebrewtalk forums as my witness, I will be kegging by the end of 2012

I received and sent. I will be sending again next year.

Done. Pm the address.

I used birthday money to buy my first brewing kit, wort chiller was purchased via eBay business, turkey fryer was a gift and i use my buddies mash tun. So I probably have around $50 of my own money invested

I mistakenly purchased a 5 pound bag of maltodextrin instead of the dextrose I was after. That's really the only extra stuff I have. It's up for grabs. "SpottedDogBrewing got it"

I'm going to do a little sorting so I should have something up for grabs later

Don't worry about it then. I get 75% off of fedex. If you can get me the measurements and weight I can see if its worth it. But if its a hassle don't worry about it. Thanks.

Would you ship if I paid for it?

I myself am a fan if IPAs. But I prefer a big nose, big taste and just enough bitterness to mellow out the sweetness. My first recipe (that I came up with) had that balance. I can't stand IPAs that numb my tastebuds after awhile.

Airlock is not the best measure for fermentation. I wait 3-4 weeks in primary and then bottle. Make sure you take gravity readings. If gravity is stable for 3 days you should be ok. I only secondary, well I never secondary. The glass carboy that came with my set is now dedicated to...

Hmm... Anyone else want to add to the thread?

Well they are 8 and 2 so I hope not. Although maybe the trub is not to blame for the loss of a couple of beers after all

I've never brewed that late but I have had bottling go late. My kids mean the best but sloooooow down the bottling process.

I think I may just bottle and remake then carb that batch. I have beer to bottle this week too. Finally getting my pipeline going. 3 fermentors full right now.

Do the majority of people carb this or not? I just sampled the hydro sample and it was delicious as is. What is the general consensus?

I may try that. The roastiness wasn't that bad. I think overall it was very good.

Forgot to post about the final problem. This beer was great. It was even better after being in the bottle for a couple of months. I will be brewing this again friday. Thanks again for all the help
