+6 American Pale Ale = 27,291

About to FLAME ON a basic APA (EdWort) to use my 1st year homegrown hops in!

I haven't had any foaming issues with my 525ss's using 5ft lengths.

Witbier?

Belgian Pale Ale?

Dunkelweizen?

So sorry...

Here is the shot of our dog Birdie which inspired our cartoonized version for my brewery logo plus a glamour shot of her on a bed that is going to be in an advertisement for my work...

Wondering what type of filter you were using... I just use the nylon 5 gal paint strainer bag that fits perfectly into my fermenting bucket. I don't have to worry about pouring the wort into a smaller strainer/filter that gets clogged and starts to back up. Just pour it all into the bucket...

If you do decide to brew one, I am really pleased with the Northern Brewer Black IPA kit. It is delicious and all my friend's are loving it too.

Yes... I sanitize with Starsan...

I wind up just using a small saucepan to boil up my mini-wort rather than doing it in the flask. I know the flask is nice as a one-vessel option, but I just find it easier to transfer into the sanitized flask than to worry about boilovers or the narrow mouth of the flask.

+5 gallons of Surly Cynic = 21445 EDIT: Actually, looks like it should be 21708 based on mattozan's and seatbelts123 edits above.

If the keg is moving, try sitting on it while trying to loosen the post with the wrench between your legs... I think I may have seen that technique on one of the Northern Brewer TV videos.

Congrats on your first brew... I am 7 months in and totally hooked! You'll be totally fine. 1.034 seems a bit low for an OG, but I am sure you will wind up with a good summer drinkin' beer. I recommend a couple of things from your comments. First, get some cheap 5 gallon paint strainer bags...

Black IPA (NB kit)... Delicious

Tripel?

+1 Balvenie has definitely become my go-to "everyday" scotch. Good flavor & relatively affordable. The Doublewood is my stock scotch, but the Caribbean Cask was really good too. I save the longer aged stuff (18+) for a special treat every now and again.

Jack 'n Coke (is that allowed!?!?)
