That was funny. Serious, there's not much you can do now. You can call it "Backwards (name of recipe)" E

Did you take pics?? E Oh, and LOL'd also.. :D

What hops and schedule would you guys recommend? Also, what would the abv? Thanks E

Let it sit for at least another week. It'll be better beer. ;) The stuff floating on top is ok. You don't need to filter it. If you don't wan that stuff in your beer, you can just not bottle it. You'll know kno wjat I mean when you bottle because you'll be able to see it going into the...

THANKS for the thread. I have an old paintball "marker" with a regulator and 20oz CO2 tank that I couldn't sell. Now I'm going to put that thing to use. :D btw - $55 sounds about right for the cheapest paintball regulator. I would caution anyone regarding the ones at hardware stores...

Thanks for the info!!!!! I'm trying to learn something new everyday.. Ok, well not everyday.. just something new about homebrewing.. :D E

Hey, I just picked up a packet of Safale US-05 and the back says, "Final Gravity: low to medium." What does mean? Medium to high abv beers? Does that mean that the yeast will eat up most of the fermentables? Thanks E

Thanks!!!! Safale it is... E

I was hoping to stop by the LHBS this afternoon so I can brew tonight. They don't carry Cooper's. E

I just came across a can of Mr. Beer. It's their "Cowboy" and says "Golden Lager" Instead of using their yeast, what do you guys recommend? Thanks E

I agree... 3 weeks should be a minimum. However, some people bottle sooner and have good beer. E

Definitely not helping.. Poor beer. Remember - the yeast are living organisms. I'm sure they have feelings too. :p I think you need to give you fermenter a hug... E

I'm at day 22 in the fermenter and it tastes GOOD. Even though I used less hops, it's a little more bitter than I expected. Oh yeah, instead of 3gl, it ended up being 2.1gl... *I'm guessing it'll be a decent size beer... Big??* E

Nope, you're not going nuts. They really do say that. In fact, the last bottle pleas the biggest because it doesn't want to be left alone. :D E

Me too..... Although, I forgot how it tasted.. Draught in cans work better than the bottles for some reason. E

I can definitely do 4 weeks in the primary. BUT, I'm going to "HAVE TO" taste after two weeks. Who knows... I might have to some left at the 4 week mark for conditioning.. :D E

Thanks for the advice. I'll let it ride out. I sampled it today and it seemed ok. But I could tell that it wasn't done fermenting. How does 3 weeks in the primary & 3 weeks for conditioning sound? Or does it need a longer conditioning time since it's a stout? I just finished reading...

Ok. I'm making all kinds of mistakes. I brewed my first non-Mr. Beer on 12/15. Since then, I've been reading and reading. So, I decided to look at my notes and saw that I pitched Nottingham at 88*. DOH!! It was a Simple Stout by Justibone. Instead of using Munton's, I used Nottingham...

This is a funny story. This makes it "funnier." :D E

Bud Light tastes like crap when compared to anything... even crap.. ;) E
