Craig, I think this is gonna be my next brew, once I arrive at school...thanks! with that said, you had made some not that people wanted a bit more spiciness to it (I think i would be one of those people). Would you just do 1oz of vanilla? or do the standard 2oz, and just up all of the spices...

I think that i'm going to do this brew when I arrive back at school next week...I just want to be clear, the "clearing" stage where pumpkin spice is added is the stage between primary and secondary (or bottling, depending on how impatient I decide to be)? also, has there been any discussion to...

Once I graduate and get a place of my own...i can only imagine it will be similar. until then, i'm doing extract (maybe partial mash at some point, after I do a tad bit of research into the matter), and bottling (even though I REALLY want to start kegging...i know my university wouldn't be all...

my "lid" is a pair of saran wrap pieces...i'm not so worried about a stiff wind, since it's sitting in my room currently..i'll let it sit, and see what happens come next weekend (I also live in a house with 2 large dogs who shed like crazy, and 4 large cats who do the same, so the second I see...

very smart, I may try to do something along those lines...i was considering siphoning the bucket into my carboy and plugging it, but I may as well just keep it in my bottling bucket for now, that way I won't have to siphon it back over. this is also extremely true, was your cover a lid? or...

yeah, that'd probably be an important factor...it's been a long week haha it's starsan

ok, i think i'll hold off until next week then. The next question is that I have a batch of sanitizer mixed up in my bottling bucket, covered with saran wrap...do you guys think that'l last until next week? or would I be better off just dumping it and mixing up a new batch next week (it's not a...

green beer? I think it's pretty good, there's kind of a harsher alcohol flavor at the end, but I feel like that should be a little bit better once it carbonates and does a little bit of bottle conditioning...right? I'd either bottle today, or bottle next weekend, as there is no time with work...

the estimated FG of this brew is 1.012-1.017, and I got it 2 days in a row, which is why i was thinking about going to bottle, but I do know that it is generally understood that it should stay in primary for 2 weeks...which is why I'm asking the question haha

The second 2 readings came from the fermenting bucket, only reason I opened the bucket was because my test bottle looked to be pretty much done As far as secondary, I bought it largely so I could have multiple batches when I'm back at school, I understand for wheats, it's not as desirable.

Aright guys, this is a very noob question...but I'm gonna ask it anyways. I brewed a raspberry wheat (Midwest kit) a week ago, Thursday night. I work 60-70 hours a week (as a production assistant on a TV show...hooray). I took a sample after I pitched my yeast, took my OG reading, and then put...

Hah I played D-Day there a few years back, fun but damn expensive. I'm pretty easy to spot, I've got the same name hah

Awesome! Where in PA do you play? I don't know that I'll ever head down, but who knows! Btw, if you're on PBN, there's a whole homebrewing thread in OSST

Heh, alright! Too bad I have fluids in the fall, that was the info I was trying to find

Too soon? Maybe. Hysterical? Yes.

Are you talking about one of the pump speakers that people use for spraying outdoors? That's not a bad idea. Sadly I think it's going to be a while until I start kegging

Ive been pretty through I think I'm actually back at home in NY, theres a pretty sweet LHBS in dover that I've been to once so far

They look great, I used the bottle washer then oxyclean then tossed them in the dishwasher (no soap) for good measure. I'll sanitize them on bottling day

How much pressure builds up? There's no doubt that is true, but only so much can before it's back into equilibrium, and the flow is stopped

Here's my entry!
