Thanks for the help. I actually have dug up a turkey fryer out of my parents' garage (they didn't even know they had one). I think I could come up with something for cooling to get me by, in the form of a large tub full of ice. I've been doing my boils inside until now, and the kitchen sink...

I would like to try my hand at an extract imperial IPA, but I am seriously worried about equipment limitations. When gathering all of my initial equipment, I made the mistake of buying an undersized brew kettle (4 gal) mostly because of the ridiculous cost of stainless steel kettles. I have a...

bowman, I added honey at the 30 minute mark in the boil. Any American Wheat kit will work well for this. I took fg after being on the cukes for 5 days, and the sample tastes fantastic. The cucumbers are noticeable mostly on the nose and add a refreshing quality. This is all noticed on a flat...

I just wish I had a LHBS. The closest one is over an hour away!

For what it's worth, I am working with a 4 gallon kettle on an electric stovetop. My first batch has turned out quite good using a 2.75 gal boil with a kit similar to what you are planning for a first brew. I am hoping to acquire a larger pot and go to propane so I can do full boils. I feel that...

Racked onto cukes this evening. Planning on bottling next Monday evening. Gonna do 7 days on the cukes.

Cleaned some bottles, and racked my summer wheat onto cucumbers in secondary. Cant wait to try this one out!

Hey all. I had O'Dell's Myrcenary this past weekend, and it was simply life-changing. Amazing beer. I'm looking to see if anyone has come up with an extract version of something that has a similar hop profile. I've searched the site, and haven't come up with anything that is an extract recipe...

Made my day! :ban:

Brewed up 5 gallons of what will become Summer Cucumber Ale 10,012 + 5 = 10,017

I hate to necromance a thread, but I'm brewing this up today. Gonna steep some Carapils and Honey Malt, as well as add an extra pound of light DME to the original formula. I'm pretty excited for the end result of this one.

Just finished my first bottling session. Took about 2.5 hours from start to complete clean up. I can now see why people jump to keg systems! I believe things went pretty well. Everything was dowsed in Star San at least a few times. I don't have a bottle tree, so just drowned my bottles in...

I'm a bit new to all of this, but I've had some IPA's that used hops that imparted a very strong pineapple essence. I believe it was the impression I got most from Bell's Two-Hearted. An addition of these hops may enhance or achieve this pineapple taste/aroma you are looking for.

So after having the beer in the primary for 8 days, I took my first FG reading. It read out a bit above 1.015, and that seems about right for my Brewer's Best APA Extract brew. Of course I tasted the sample. Flat and bitter, as can be expected. It was warm going down, so at least I know there is...

I am a Ticket Sales Representative for an MLB Baseball team

I would agree that competition can only be a good thing. If I were back in college, I would definitely pick up some of this Pong Beer.

Henry, I just have to point out that you say you are drinking Stella in your signature... Hate to break it to you, but that's an AB-InBev Product. Unless you brewed some sort of clone. Just sayin...

Agreed. I've had my fair share of Frat-Water while playing beer pong. There's a time and place for it, IMO.

Go Green Go White! (Sorry that just had to be said) Great post. I'm gonna hang tight til fall to try doing a stout I think.

Update on the fermentation: The thermometer on the bucket is finally giving me a reading, and it's looking like 66* right now. I'm gonna be content with that temp for sure.
