That this would be a good solution for the time being. thanks for the quick replies. Kegging here i come!

Im buying myself a kegging setup for my birthday, I hate bottling so bad it actually keeps me from brewing. Is there any down side to buying a chest freezer setting everything up and initially just using picnic taps to put the beer into glasses/growlers/ direct pout into mouth etc? I want to...

It is very sweet............ beer really changes profile as it warms up after the pour, def an alcohol bite to it. Its dangerous on an empty stomach..... one bomber will have you stumbling and bumbling about. Give a shot its a good beer.

A buddy of mine is going to be in town over thanksgiving and we are going to do a little brewing. I am an extract brewer with maybe 7 or 8 batches under my belt so still very much a newbie. I wanted to order some stuff from AHS but dont think it will get here in time. There is a local home...

Remind me about June and I will let you know. I am moving this into the secondary tomorrow and will not bottle until around may.

IM gonna give it a couple more days to let it settle back down since I probably stirred some stuff up shaking it today. Then bottle it and see what happens. Im sure it will probably turn out fine and if it doesn't its a good excuse to brew again. Austin

They have sat for 3 weeks

My AHB Ruination clone has been in the primary for 5 weeks now. Based off some advice I got here I decided to just dry hop it in the primary and bottle straight from there. The problem I am having is the hops are not falling. I twisted the primary a bit this morning and broke up a lot of...

I asked a few questions about this one earlier in the week so I figured I would follow up and let everyone know how it went. First off let me say that this was the most seamless brew day I have ever had. It included 5 gallons of Austin Home Brew Cannonball Stout 5 Gallons of EdWort's...

Glad this topic came up I never seem to hit my OG on an extract brew. Then again I only have 5 brews under my belt.

So 2 qts of water about 10oz of Light DME should yeild 1.04 to 1.05 OG for my starter correct. Then pitch both vails just two be safe and 24 hours later I should have enough yesties to get this monster going? When I ran this through the tastybrew calculator online it said my OG should be...

Date on the vail is March 30 2010 So starter with both vials or one vail and just pitch the second?

At work in a training class right now but I will get the date off of the vails when I get home tonight.

So lets say you are brewing a big beeer like an Imperial Stout. I have two vials of white labs yeast in the fridge that came with the kit. I have since aquired all the equipment to do a starter. If i make a starter with one vail of yeast is there still be a need to pitch the second vail or...

How long do you expect it to take to reach final gravity?

Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea this would take so in the primary and secondary. Knew It would have to settle in the bottles for a while before it would taste decent but 2 months between primary and secondary. Oh well should be an interesting haul. I was already planning on doing a...

Thanks for the reply I forgot you guys were on here or I guess I could have asked you directly considering its your kit. One more question. How should I split the amount of Water? 2.5 gal of water for steeping grains and 60 min boil for hops 2.5 Gal for the LME and DME to disolve...

The problem I have is my brew pot is not big enough to handle this brew. Its a Austin home brew supply kit which calls for 2.5 gallons of water and then after steeping specialty grains calls for 10lbs of LME and I believe 2lbs of DME. I recently brewed a Ruination IPA Clone which was just...

The ruination clone is boiling as we speak. Thanks for the help everyone!

If this is the case then I have an empty carboy and may need to brew my Ruination IPA clone today :rockin:
