Also should I get the BrewVint Yeast Fuel that AHS offers.

So my brew kit that I got for my first brew only came with a single fermentation bucket. I wanted to get a second fermentation stage setup. Would it hurt to save a few extra bucks and just get another bucket or should I really get a Carboy as the second stage.

Quick kinda silly question. What is macerated?

Great!! Thanks

Also wanted to add that in the comment about the strawberries they added 5 lbs of them. Any comments about how much to add would be appreciated too.

Hello All, It has been about a year since I have posted and also about a year since my first brew. I couldn't have done the first one without all of your help, so Thanks. My first brew was a muntons nut brown ale. I am wanting to get started on my second brew and I think that I want to...

I think that I am going to do the AHS Honey Wheat next. Just waiting for the appropriate funds :P

Alright. So I did a carb taste test an holy carbonation. Does the carb mello out at all as time goes on. Other than the heavy carbonation the flavor was pretty good. I deffinitly think it is a little stronger than expected but strong beer is okay with me. Thanks everyone for their help in...

Alright...it's done. I don't know how everyone feels about bottling but I actually had a blast. Everything looked good smelled good and now the only worry I have is if somehow I reactivated the yeast and just created a bunch of bottle bombs. I did end with a little higher fg than I think the...

Any suggestions about how much brown sugar and how much water to use or where I can find the measurments. Thanks

Ok, so its been a week since I last looked at my brew. I decided just to take a peek just to make sure there was no mold or anything on top. Everything looks great. I can definitely tell a difference in the smell. Smells more like beer. I am thinking that I will bottle on the 23rd. That...

Has anyone brewed the AHS Honey Wheat Ale. They offer a few different yeast options and wasn't sure what others suggested. Thanks

Okey dokey, Thanks for the advice. I plan on waiting until next week before starting to take some daily samples. I am gonna be gone this weekend so it will ease some of my lack of patience. I was thinking about my next brew that I want to do and was thinking about the AHS Honey Wheat Ale...

Shouldn't I see a lot of bubbles or something on top or is this normal. I can post a Pic if that helps

I forgot to add that when I did my sample I didn't notice much activity going on on the top.

Quick question. Although I plan to wait a couple of weeks before moving to bottling, should I start taking sample hydrometer readings every couple of days just to make sure that fermentation hasn't stopped early.

I know. It got the best of me. I will try to wait until even cracking it open again. Is there such a thing as leaving it in primary too long.

Alright. Fiancé approves. We are good to move forward.

Well. Couldn't wait for the fiancé to get home before trying a sample. WOW!!!! Pleasantly surprised. Was pretty tasty for a non carbed beer. Might be too early to judge but I think it's going to turn out pretty good.

Forgot to add that the room temp is probably around 68 degrees give or take. I found ad about the muntons Nut brown and a few others experienced their brew sitting around the 1.020 mark. Oh well we'll see what happens.
