Looks great, like that blue...

I just racked an IPA from my primary to a secondary after 6 days. I hope I didn't screw things up. I was under the impression that once the bubbling in the air lock all but stopped, you can transfer to your secondary. I'll let you know in amonth or so how it turned out.

It has been in the bottle for 2 weeks. I am sampling now. I have to say it's pretty good, but it may need a bit more time.

I had some issues with my first batch of homebrew. Of course I bottled it and am hoping for the best. I am very tempted to sample a bottle to see if it is on the right track. Is that a bad thing? Thanks

Thanks, I have been told it produces a nice carbination.

How much dme should I use in place of priming sugar before bottling? :drunk:

I have mine in 1000ml flask with plenty of space and an airlock. I feel pretty good about it now, Thanks

One of several we hit when my wife and I visited her parents.

Just did my first yeast starter and I was wondering has anyone ever had one blow off? I have it in a nice dark 70 deg. spot, but I would hate to see a mess if it goes a little crazy. Thanks

I do use beer smith, and i was planning a full boil. A friend suggested that to me already, and I have tasted a couple of his brews, so I thought it was good advice.

after some advice I made some modifications, since I haven't started the brew yet. 6 pounds light DME 2.5 pounds amber LME .5 pound caramel crystal 40L .5 pound caravienne 1 oz. warrior hops boiled 70 minutes 1 oz. amarllo boiled 30 minutes 1 oz cascade Yakima boiled 10 minutes 1 oz...

Thanks, I was thinking of lowering the crystal, and I like the idea of the lighter extract. We will see. i will let you know how it turns out.

My first shot at an IPA. What do you think? 2 pounds light DME 6.5 pounds amber LME 1 pound caramel crystal 40L 1 pound caravienne 1 oz. warrior hops boiled 70 minutes 1 oz. amarllo boiled 30 minutes 1 oz cascade Yakima boiled 10 minutes 1 oz cascade Yakima dry hopped wyeast 1272...

Thanks, I will be doing a yeast starter. I just hope my recipe turns out.

I am getting ready to start second batch of home brew. Last time I used an ingredient kit with a dry yeast. This time I am going with my own recipe and Wyeast 1272. Beersmith says my o.g. should be around 1.066. Do I need to do a yeast starter? Thanks
