Thanks for all of the responses, so many interesting sounding choices, guess now all I need to is get out their and start sampling. To be honest my whole goal with this is to give myself more options on brew day. So I appreciate people pointing me in the right direction. Gotta love a strong...

I was raised on hoppy west cost apa and ipas in the pacific northwest. That being said I've never really been a fan of stouts and porters. But since I've gotten into home brewing I'm thinking I should give them another shot. at some point I would like to brew my own, but before that, I need to...

I know its the best way to confirm if something is done fermenting is to take gravity samples on consecutive days. That being said I've got an extract iipa that has been fermenting for about two weeks now and I'm still getting sporadic (a few bubbles maybe once an hour, if that often) activity...

After going to school in eugene I'm a big fan of anything they make, if you pull it off share the recipe

When I asked my LHBS about dry hopping for the first time, they gave me an extra half oz of citra, is that enough to make much of an impact?

From one new brewer to another, welcome aboard

out of curiosity how big of a difference does chilling down the beer and getting the co2 into solution to creating a stable head?

I can't even imagine waiting that long. My first batch is about a month out after bottling and holy crap, I understand the whole green beer thing so much better. Turns out some people here know a thing or two about home brew. Compared to even a week or two ago the apa is significantly more...

It wasn't sucking air, but there were bubbles in the tubing. I tried restarting the siphon with no real change

So I was bottling my second batch last night and I'm concerned that I might have introduced oxygen into my bottles. The last time I bottled (AKA my first time) even thing came out very smoothly from my auto siphon. This time however, no matter what I seemed to do I was getting at least some if...

good time to get something going for the summer, I'm about to bottle a wit this weekend, should be ready just in time to drink for summer.

glad someone beat me to the question, because after about two weeks now @ room temp my first batch is still pretty flat. I keep reading patience is a virtue when it comes to home brewing, but sometimes it helps to have someone remind me. Guess I just have to suck it up and wait

thanks for the advice, I didn't really think about the whole trying to move it with a blow off attached.

I've got a wit that based on the advice of my lhbs I put a blow off tube on. I'm a week and a half into fermentation and I'm wondering if there is any need or reason to switch to an air lock?

I hear you, after a week I racked my first batch to a secondary and brewed a wit. Can't wait to try it too

I'm right there with you man. I just bottled my first batch, and I now have 44 bottles of APA. There wasn't quite enough to fill up the 45th bottle, so I tasted what I made. It was pretty good, can't wait till its got some carb and more age on it. BTW Go Ducks

Thanks, I was kinda leaning that direction. I'm brewing on a bit of a budget any advice on fermentation temp control? I live in an apartment with a couple of roommates so I don't have access to a spare tub or anything like that.

So my first beer (simple APA) has been in my secondary fermentator based on the directions I got from the brew shop that I got my supplies from. I've got some spare time this weekend and I'm getting an itchy trigger finger and want to get my second batch going. That being said I'm looking for...
