Welcome from just down I-77, what NB kit do you do? I stated with their Irish Red kit myself.

Brewing a Brown Ale on Saturday, can't wait!

So all in all I'm pleased with the first attempt. The beer has a good malty taste and a nice mildly bitter finish. However it is very cloudy/hazey. Not sure if this is due to the lack of a real strong boil? Or perhaps the ice bath took too long to cool the wort down? I went out and picked...

I did a batch of NB's Irish Red beginning of the year that I added an oz. of Wilamette at 10 minutes left. It is now bottled and in the frig finishing conditioning so I can soon let you know how that worked out.

Celebrating the weekend with some Brown shugga'. Going to test the gravity on my Irish Red tomorrow and hope to bottle Monday orTuesday. Cheers everyone!

I made an Irish Red kit from Northern Brewer. So far so good, have some nice bubbling going on.

Thanks Kirkwooder, Yeah I anticipate having some kinks to work out with the first few batches. Trying to prioritize my additional equipment needs based on how things go on brew day and throughout the fermentation process.

Im also a newbie, but I'll chime in since I'm curious about that as well.

Hello everyone, I'm Jay, and I live in the Akron/Canto area. To start off 2015 I finally kicked off the training wheels (after playing a while with Mr. Beer) and brewed my first 5 gallon batch! Look forward to joining the conversations and offering up what I can as I gain some experience in...

Greetings from the Akron/Canton area!
