Bump. Come on guys, I think I'm ordering tommorrow

Just got done racking my brew to secondary. Everything went quick and easy, no trouble to speak of. The color is rich, the smell is great, oh yeah and the taste is............excellent! It actually taste like a good pale ale, I was surprised at how well it tasted. Since my hydro broke I...

I have a pale ale about to go into secondary right now. I need some variety.

I did the same thing my first brew, which wasn't even a week ago. I was worried about evaporation too. I learned really damned quick!

Yeah, if I start the brew in two weeks the darker beers won't even be ready until late september or early october.

The problem is...... I love them all. :drunk:

Alright, so I'm planning on doing my second batch a couple of weeks from now. By then the first one should be more than half way through it's secondary. (I'm doing the 1-2-3 method). I'm going to be ordering my bottles towards the end of this coming week and that's when I'll order my second...

Well, it seems that fermentation has started again oddly enough. Yes, it's been in a consistent temp so far, about 68-70 degrees. Fourth day in the primary, 16 second intervals between bubbles, and it's definately starting to smell like beer, good beer! :rockin:

Yeah, I'm resting a lot easier now. This board is great.

Well, that was quick. After almost three days in primary and some pretty good fermentation during that time I have no activity in my airlock. None what-so-ever. I took a peak inside and just about all the the krausen has sank from the top. Just a thin layer left on top. That just seems...

Any body have a recipe or know where I can buy a kit. I really want it to be as smooth as Fuller's is. Keep in mind that this will be my second brew, so you might want to dumb down the recipe a bit. :)

Activity in my airlock stopped sometime last night. When I got up there was nothing going on. I gave it a couple good shakes and hits. I'm getting a bubble in under every second. :mug:

Yeah, I'm using a glass car-boy as the secondary so I'm not worried about the sediment. I was just wondering if there was too much in there if it could affect the fermenting.

Thanks, I didn't think I had too much to worry about, but I just wanted to make sure. I keep hearing about vigorous fermentation. I'm getting a bubble in the airlock once every 2 second or so, but it's barely audible. The thing is perfectly quite, but I know it's fermenting.

Well of course, I already knew that. But, I'd like to know about this beer as well.

Well, everything went pretty smoothly. Only had one minor boil over, other than that no problems.:mug: My hydrometer broke in the mail, but I'm not too concerned. The fermenter is in my room and is sitting at about 68 degrees. I had airlock activity when I woke up in the morning and I'm...

I got the extract kit. "All grains" was only part of the description, I just wanted to make sure that included steeping grains as well. Thanks for the heads up anyway broseph. A duder is like a dude only......................dudier. I grew up on the beach man I can't help it.

Thanks guys. Fata- how did it taste? SBN- Are you speaking of The Weeping Radish or The Brewing Station? Just so you know the next time you come down the Weeping Radish is opening up a big new brewery across the bridge in currituck any day now. http://www.weepingradish.com/farm.html...

Hi duders, After reading about home brewing for a while I finally decided to just go ahead and jump into this crazy nonsense and order a kit. I got it from leeners cause that is one of the first sites I really studied when I was beginning to get interested...
