    Beginning First Batch 10/14/11

    That beer sounds yummy- I would use the Wyeast 1056

    How fast can bottles carb up?

    Give it a try- If you dont have some carb after a week or two move your bottles to a slightly warmer area. 70-75 itll carb.

    Drinking my first ever homebrew

    Congrats on your first!!! Everytime you brew a batch, you refine your process on your quest to the perfect pint- search or google "Late extract additions" in regards to LME and carmelization that may contribute to a perceived harsh flavor or twang as well as lighten the color of your beer.

    Ordered extract kit, not quite ready to brew. A couple of Q's.

    Awesome, you are going to have a blast:) When I did extract batches I would put the LME bottles in really hot water to help liquify them so that they poured easier into the boil. Also, its hard to beat watching the yeast work in a glass carboy on the first batch at least... Good luck

    Long fermentation

    dry-hopped at 5 weeks - lol - late April? I was surprised that the centennials came through at bottling, thought they would have faded much more.

    Long fermentation

    I just bottled NB's Dead Ringer last weekend and it was well over 5 months:) Very clear...and tasted great coming out of the carboy. I have it bottled in the basement @74. I can see a very small layer of yeast at the bottom, so it still had viable yeast:) As long as you have good sanitation -

    Buying Beersmith

    Export your recipes to another folder. Uninstall beersmith, delete the install folder-C:\Program Files\BeerSmith Search "beersmith" or ".bsm" in registry and delete all the keys you find...reinstall trial, import your recipes...takes like 10 minutes

    Welp

    I would do an IPA, then a black IPA, then an IPA. Then I would do an IPA followed by an IPA. Then, I would drink craft IPA's to collect bottles to brew another IPA.

    Brand New...Wort Not Cooling

    See it through to bottle-there is experience value in every batch Brew another batch and change the detail you have any questions about. Fine tuning. I chilled with ice in a plastic tub...like three 10 pound bags of ice and filled with some water-it chilled quick. I think your sink wasnt deep...

    NorthernBrewer Deluxe Beer Starter Kit

    I purchased this exact kit - Its perfect. I matched it with a turkey fryer and started brewing extracts. Not that happy with the beer quality, but the equipment is everything you need to start getting your process down. I would buy it again. I added another an ale pail for 12 bucks to be able to...
