I just used my coupon. Ordered my first lager, an irish summer ale and a rootbeer kit for my son. I need to stop going to that site. I've spent a ton lately.

It is pricey but it's already steril and can be pitched right into the secondary. One can should impart a mild blueberry flavor.

I just did a Raspberry Wheat that is bottle conditioning right now. I used 2 cans of the Oregon Puree in my primary fermentation which imparted a huge raspberry flavor. I would suggest going with one can of the puree in the secondary. This is the stuff I used...

I believe I have the process down. I'm going to go with a yeast starter. Primary ferment at 55* for 3-5 weeks. Then rack to a secondary and cold lager. I understand that if I pitch enough yeast and wait long enough i won't have to do a diacetyl rest? I have 4 brews at different...

How long did your first batch sit in primary?

I want to do a lager so badly right now. I've been scouring craiglist lately for a freezer.

This Citra Pale Ale from AHS has intrigued me. I've also been considering just doing a Honey Kolsch for the summer. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=12608

Ride motorcross with my son. Motorcycles. Used to drag race motorcycles but that got too expensive. Some hunting. Would like it to be a lot more hunting. Just started photography. Gardening. Grew up in rural Ohio where we grew what we ate. Now live in Houston and miss the fresh...

I'm only on my 4th day of bottle conditioning on my Raspberry Wheat and I already want to open one. I won't since I know I'll be disappointed but it is damn tempting.

I just strained into my bottling bucket and then poured that into my carboy.

There will be enough yeast in suspension to carb up.

If you are moving your beer to secondary after 5-7 days you are not doing everything you can to make it taste the best it can. Most here recommend leaving it in Primary for 3-4 weeks to allow the yeast to clean up after itself. You can leave in the primary the whole time and get really clear...

I started brewing 4 weeks ago. I've currently got 4 batches in different stages. I have 3 fermentors and 2 better bottles. Over the next 3 weeks I will have batches ready to bottle. As I bottle I will brew another back the next day. Every week I'm looking at different recipes and trying to...

Use a blowoff. First batch I did in my 6 gallon carboy ended up on my ceiling. It's easy/safe insurance.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm brewing the AHS West Coast Pale Ale tomorrow. I'm considering adjusting the hops though since I'm not big on an overly hoppy beer. Right now the calculation I came up with using Rooftop Brew's calculator is 45.5 IBU's. The hop schedule for the kit is: 1 1/2 oz 5% Cascade 60 minutes...

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I had the same thing happen when I moved my Raspberry Wheat to Secondary.

It's definitely not easy. Building a pipeline helps. I've got a Blond Ale and a Raspberry Wheat that have been in primary for 3 weeks even through gravity readings have been steady. I've also got a Brown Ale that is at 2 weeks in the primary and will be brewing a Pale Ale tomorrow. I'm...

AHS has one. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_452_43_262&products_id=2153

Just ordered a West Coast Pale Ale kit and as I was checking out realized I need this setup. So now I have a Pale Ale on the way and all the necessary parts to bottle from my kegs.
