Thank you all and very good points. I am sorry if I offended anyone with my use of noob. I my self am a noob to this sight and now realize the passion that we all share. I never intended to call people out or make any one in comfortable.

Yea

Never wrong ... I have learned that making beer can not be wrong as long as some one drinks it (and I did choke down my first batch) but start simple. Also why with the 16 posts? I have been brewing for years? So if I reply yea on every thread then I have status?

Just because I recently fount HBT does not make me new at brewing. I am just saying that when I started that my goal was to put the cart in front of the horse.

Don't get me wrong I am all about all grain brewing and new people but why make It hard? Did you start doing multiplication when you learned math? No ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION.

Adding spices or fruit or oak? Why try so hard? Try making a beer.... then a better beer recipe... then make a recipe. Then do something special......

Welcome from a houstonian!

Why would you even ask? Brew

If you reuse your yeast it will save about $6 a batch. Right now I have a hefe, American ale, Belgian strain that I harvested from alagash black, champagne for hard cider, kolsch and Irish ale.

My wife is addicted to pintrist and I use to make fun of her checking her pins (?) Now all I do is check HBT. Hahaha

Did not see blow off tube. Looks good!

Looks good. Might watch out for an exploding air lock. That carboy looks very full!

Thanks for the idea

You are my dopplegannger... I think we all all have problems. My wife is a Miller lite drinker. I brewed a DBIPA and she made the comment that I never brew anything she likes. I can not ferment lager so a Miller lite is out of the question so I go with a kolsh. One sip..... it us ok but I will...

Make sure you take off the liquid side when you force carbonate. Should just have the gas side hooked up. How long did you keep it at 25psi.

Irish red - then once kegged I made a Porter and used the carboy with the yeast cake in it for an Irish Porter?

So I need to back sweeten my cider. What is the name of the ingredient that kills the yeast?

I have heard and am using raisins for yeast nutrients.

Fantastic find

Not that I need an excuse to post a thred but I wanted to see if i could get a responce. I have an air compressor and was wondering if any one had a "DIY" solution to making somthing to oxygenate my wort. Thanks!
