Im only only on my first brew...I started with a kit. I look forward to customizing my recipes and eventually going all grain!

Good luck...keep us posted!

Well Im a noob brewing an IPA. But thats only because I like higher alcohol beer and the local stores really have no selection except IPA. Also when I went to a local brew shop and bought my kit he basically recommended an IPA. Prolly because it was 60 dollars lol. I do feel it was a quality kit...

I was just curious if anyone will tell me why I shouldnt worry about tannins? So tomorrow will be 2 weeks in Primary. I wanna bottle it so bad but Im gonna try to wait. Fermenting has been pretty stable at 68-66 degrees hopefully this is optimum temperature. I dont have a way to control it...

yeah its definately hard to wait especially since i am using a bucket. I havent even peeked yet. However i look at the bucket frequently lol.

I am about to try first ever bottled dirty bastard. In the last week I found a store that actually sells good beer. I tried Weyerbacher merry monks, Terrapin easy rider ale, Victory hops wallop, Siberian night imperial stout. And a few others. Im brewing a IPA for my first brew. First...

Wow...sounds like it went smooth.What did u brew? How long u fermenting?

Congrats... My first brew is an IPA and Im gonna ferment in primary for 3 weeks.

My first thoughts are temp related. At 70-75 degrees which seems slightly high allowed the yeast to ferment more vigorously but possibly fizzled out quickly. At 60-65 it seems a little cool slowing down the fermentation and causing it to not be as vigorous. Maybe a few more experienced brewers...

Why should i not worry about tannins?

Hey everyone I thought I would post a detailed story about my first brew. :rockin: I drink alot of IPA because its got a high alcohol content for the beer available at the local stores. So I decided to brew an IPA for my first brew. I debated on buying my kit online but instead I went to a...

Im new to...good luck!

I wanted a carboy but my local brew shop guy talked me out of it. Im gonna get one though I like to watch. Looking at a white bucket several times a day is kinda strange...lol:o

Wow...sounds like an adventurous first brew. I did an extract kit with specialty grains and 4 types of hops! let us know how it turns out!:mug:

Good luck with the all grain brewing. Im gonna do a few extract brews before investing in the extra equipment. I look forward to it though!

On my first batch which is fermenting now, I just used the auto siphon with a spray wort aerator no filtering at all. I might put some mesh on the end of my siphon though when I transfer to bottling bucket. Any thoughts on if this would harm the brew?
