Thanks everyone. Think I will just get some DME when I am ready to brew. All your input was helpful!

So I have been brewing for bout 2 years and only used dry yeast. I will be trying liquid for the first time soon. I have a question about growing up the yeast. I am currently brewing a beer today. I made a little extra wort that won't fit into the fermentor. If I bottle the wort (no hops, yeast...

I also live in a small apartment. I make 3 gallon batches because a 3 gallon carboy will fit in an average cooler with an air lock attached. Once or twice a day I rotate large cooler ice bricks . Keeps the cooler right around 64. Remember, that is the temp in the cooler. The temp inside the...

Thanks all, great info. Question answered.

I have been reading a lot about cider making on this site and I am interested in trying it out soon so I can have something ready for the fall. There is one thing I am not quite sure about. I have been making beer for about 18 months now. I have the process down and know what to expect. The only...

Made this over the weekend. Stayed true to the original except I had to use S-04. LHBS was out of 05. Kind of disappointing. We will see how it turns out.

so here it is. Two weeks conditioning in the bottle. Very nice beer. Exactly what I expected. Similar to Yards ESB, just a little maltier.

Brewed my first beer that I discovered on this app. Came out great so far. Just bottled it and the taste I got from the sample was really good. Love this site. Need to get something into the Carboy soon. Can't decide between a black IPA or a stout. What do you guys think. Btw, the recipe I just...

Sorry about the half full glass. But that's all that I could get after bottling the rest. I will try to get a better pic when it's done being conditioned

So I just bottled this tonight. I went with Marris Otter l, medium crystal and 120L American crystal. My LHBS didn't have dark English crystal. I have only been brewing for less then a year and this is my first ESB. I made 3 gallons . I had a little left over and chilled it after taking it from...

Good luck

I put my 3 gallon batches in my sink with ice and water. Like Wilser said, just make sure you have enough ice. I live close to a convenience store so when I ran out the first time I tried it I just walked there and picked up and extra 7 Lbs of ice.

Butt head

I wish I had something to say about brewing. It's been so darn hot this summer that I haven't brewed since early June. My next brew will be "common room". Looks like a winner. I have only been brewing for 8 months and haven't tried to make an ESB yet.

Good evening hbt. Just found this post. I am always on late night during the weekends. I see the most recent talk is about jobs. I just recently started a new job. I left a small business. The owner was getting older and I didn't work well with his son. An opportunity came up and I just started...

I am new to home brewing since starting about a year ago I have only done all grain BIAB. I have had the same problems you are having. First thing I started doing was squeezing the bag like it owed me money. I get every last drop I can out of that thing. I know you will read that that will lead...

Lemon party, because I have been wanting to try Sorachi Ace hops and I think it would be a good beer to end the summer before I get into the stouts.

Foodery at second and poplar and stop in at one of the cool bars in that area before hand. Lots of craft beer bars in that area. Standard Tap and North 3rd are two of the big ones

I live in a small apartment. It stays pretty warm even in the winter. I put my 3 gallon carboy in a cooler with a frozen water bottle. Works great. I change the bottle about twice a day and it keeps the temps around 65F.
