I just recieved two Extract kits w/specialty grains in the mail from Austin Homebrew, my first order from them. I had planned on brewing this Sunday, but now my plans have changed and I will not be able to.:( Does anyone know how long these kits are good for?? Maybe Forrest will chime in...

You sound like a good candidate for kegging........;)

I have 12 & 22 oz. bottles that I use. I like the 12oz. bottles because if someone doesn't particularly care for it, or just doesn't finish it, then it is not such a waste. I drink the 22oz.'s when I know I will be having a beer or 10. I also don't care to give samples of my brew in the 22's...

Great idea, I do have the box and this is what I will do.:mug:

Oh yeah.....thanks guys!!!:mug:

Yes, I will be having it exposed to light. So a black t-shirt should do then???

I am going to secondary an IPA that I brewed and I am just curious.......does the carboy need to be covered from light after it is racked?? I have never transfered to secondary before? I have a feeling it does but I just wanted to double check. Thanks...;)

All good reasons, thanks guys.

Thanks Guys, I will have to pick up some fermcap next order I place. Is there any down side to using it??

The other day I brewed a, "California Imperial Pale Ale" kit by Brewers Best. After adding liquid and dry extract and returning to boil I got the ussual foaming and moved the pot back and forth to a cold burner each time it tried to boil over and everything was fine. Now here's...

+1 You can't go wrong with the Vodka......

Man, I felt the same way. I was was not impressed with any of them though.:(

Im 39 and have been brewing for 1 year. I really enjoy it and have gotten friends into it as well. Thanks for all the help along the way HBT'ers!!

What about tse-tse flies??????????:p

Thanks guys.

I have also heard this. I am curious to see what kind of responses you get. It sure would make bottling day easier.

Just wondering......are there certain beers that you should use a blowoff tube rather than an airlock. I am talking about extract kits like Brewers Best, True Brew etc....

You should be just fine as long as fermentation was done. 5oz. of sugar is fine.

It sounds like you used too much priming sugar too. I believe 5oz. is the norm... Nine days seems awful fast to go ahead and bottle as well, maybe fermentation wasn't complete.........

I am also curious about this as well, I think I would probably prefer it on the sweeter side. I have everything ready to go, I am just waiting for the Temperature to drop a little more here. It is still to warm in my house to brew anything.
