I'm no pro, but I follow the instructions on the White Labs bottle......leave it out while I boil wort and dump it in! My beer always turns out! Don't make it too complicated, its beer! If it doesn't bubble in a few days, go buy more.......

I only use primary...When would I add the canned pumpkin mix? How long do you let it sit? I'm making a Smashing Pumpkin Ale soon...

I don't use it either and all my brews turn out pretty clear.

I have a cream ale fermenting as I type this post. Good luck on your brew. :mug:

Try it on your hemoroids. I hear you can use your bottle filler to reach the tricky spots.

Consider them added protein. No worries...

Local Midwest microbrew. Great brew! Looking for a Tallgrass Ale clone? Any help would be great. It is a brown nutty flavor-very smooth. Below is from their website: ALE (ABV 4.4%, 22 IBU) Tallgrass Ale is the flagship beer of Tallgrass Brewing Company, and we think it will be your new...

Caps are great, but I use them to take beer from my keg and fill a 2L bottle for transport to a party or such. :ban:

Way to go. It will get better in time.

Upgrade to liquid yeast. I like White Labs.

I talked with Five Star today by phone. They give their product a year, but the product can be used for two years if pH tests are done to ensure product quality. They don't suggest using after two years because the product can break down and lose strength. Causing longer soak times etc.

NICE! A lot of great info here....

I keg my beer and you apply C02 to the keg and let it sit until ready to drink.

I used sugar, not malt....I will let it sit for a while. I will let you know how it turns out. I've started brewing partial kits now and stopped adding all the sugar in the wort. It would be nice to have something to drink....

Never tried it...but I bet it would be quite difficult to pull off as a new brewer or even for a seasoned brewmaster.

Since it is your first brew, I would use a cherry extract concentrate. Your LHBS has it stocked. Keep it simple.

Is it ok to leave at serving temp (cold conditioning)? Or do I need to put back at room temp? It is about 35-37 degrees now.

Great idea! I will post what they tell me. Of course they may tell me to run out and buy more :)

I know stupid question, but how can I check pH on the StarSan?

It was a little high. It was still cool out when I first started this batch and I had it in a spare bedroom instead of my basement, but it soon got warm out. I would say average temp was 75.
