When do you add the bean, sticks and nutmeg? And for how long?

Make some brownies in the Easy Bake Oven while brewing this please...

I've seen that a lot of Wheat Extracts are already hopped.

When a put my next wort on the Yeast Cake from my Nut Brown Ale I guess there's nothing to do about the krausen crust on the inside of the carboy or anything huh? I don't have to worry about any of the left over stuff in there?

Another thing that can create longer/orange flames is air speed. Are you burning outside? Is it commonly windy?

I was actually having soot problems with my oil furnace for my house, too much air flow was causing a longer flame and resulting in a small amount of soot clogging the nozzle which was then reducing the amount of gas/oil coming thru and creating even more soot.... It could be either, my opinion...

I wonder what would happen if I tossed this Ale/Wort on the WLP002 English Ale yeast cake I just used for my Nut Brown Ale?

When you guys bottle, do you add a priming sugar for some carbination or is this bottled "as is"?

My bother-in-law's uncle has a small bee farm and sells the honey for $20 a gallon. I'm going to try it out in the next few weeks, if it's good I'm willing to get some for you guys $20 + shipping.

I did a Dry Stout without a starter and it didn't start for 48 hours, but then it went great. No worries bud!

Maybe by titling your post "Experiment" instead of "Lazy" would have generated more postive responses... just my thoughts.

I have a Belgian in the secondary and it will be there for a few more months. I heard someone saying on here that it's very possible that by the time I'm ready to bottle the yeast could be tuckered out and I may have to re-pitch yeast. Should I do that a few days before bottling or the day...

I've done several kits from NB and I was very happy with the kit/yeast, just wish they had free shipping...

Anyone have a good link to a brew calc for this? Thanks!

Thanks for the responses, I realize about the chiller. I had found a nice 9 gal kettle and chiller on www.morebeer.com I was going to buy together.

If I go to a bigger pot and can brew all 5 gallons, but the kit says to brew 2 gallons and add top off water in the fermenter, is it going to make a difference, or should I look for kits/recipes that require full brewing? Was that confusing?

I was planning on going, but because of my wife and I's anniversary falling on the same weekend she deems 12 years of marriage more important than beer <sigh>

Another question about this, I'm aging a Belgian Golden Strong at the moment. It should be ready to bottle around November/December, when pitching new yeast should I use the same type of yeast I used in the wort originally?

My advice on multi-batch days.... find a friend! When I decide to brew 2-3 5 gal batches maybe even bottle another batch I make sure I have a list the day before, a clean open kitchen and a friend to help pass the time with.
