Leave it on longer to make the warm spots. But on my Sanyo you could even tell just with your hand where the line ran because it was warmer than the rest of the top of the fridge. Make sure you set the fridge to it's coldest setting and then run it for a bit. It could be that they don't run...

I'm about 50/50, I drink in bars a couple times a week so then I can't drink homebrew. When I'm home I usually pick up a 6 pack a week of something new I want to try. Been drinking a lot of Schells Snowstorm now that the 09 is out and it is pretty cheap compared to other Micros.

It isn't over carbed is it? Maybe it has a carbonic acid taste that you are picking up. Although people usually describe that as more metallic I believe.

How long have you chilled them in the fridge? Put a few in there for 2 weeks at least and that can often make a lot of yeast and chill haze fall out of solution.

How long have they been in the bottles? If not for at least 3 weeks at around 70 degrees some might not be fully carbed. Let them carb up then refrigerate for at least a week and see if you get more even carbination. I'll bet you will be fine in a little time.

Let us know how that turns out. Mine could be colder on the first pour as well.

So far my Oktoberfest Lager this year. Was my first kegged and my favorite beer I've brewed so far.

I like goofy labels like http://tommyknocker.com/ourBeer.html There aren't too many labels that I really dislike. Usually simple is better though like New Glarus' simple easy to remove labels http://www.newglarusbrewing.com/Beers.cfm?BeerCategoryID=1

Well if it had 7gm fat*9 cal per gram=64 cal just from fat where's the alcohol :D But hey if they marketed a bacon beer I would try it.

That's too bad. I have heard of a lot of people having problems with the flat/glass top electric stoves. Seems a pain if you don't have perfectly flat bottomed pots too.

Sorry to be a little :off: but if your electric stove will fit a canning element you could try that to improve your boil. I purchased one for my stove off ebay for 22.58 shipped. I also only have a 20qt kettle but I was able to get that to boil about an inch from the top without too much...

I smoke a cigar once every few months but that is it.

People will sometimes agitate if they have a stuck fermentation at like 1.02 by just rocking the bucket/carboy to get the yeast in suspension again. But if you have ever watched a healthy fermentation in a carboy once they are going they will stir it up quite a bit anyway. No need to...

I think you will be fine. With 1.06 you will get a decent amount of alcohol, you could have topped off but no problem in leaving it the way you did either. I'm sure you will have pretty tasty beer in a few weeks.

Add a 5 of Oatmeal Stout I made today so 26089.5

Great tips!

Mashing in a AHS Partial Mash Oatmeal stout right now. Smells great!

I love these 5 gal paint strainer bags. I just do partial mash most of the time and they are the perfect size for my smallish 20qt pot. So much easier then using the muslin way too small bags that Midwest usually gives me for their grains. It has made it a lot easier to partial mash on the...

Lol yeah, I'm sure they are under no misconceptions over what a lot of their growing supplies goes toward.

Yeah Midwest is pretty decent, I'm happy it is less then 10 mins away and my LHBS.
