    pot too big?

    Alright, so I've been wanting to try an all grain recipe for a while now - and have purchased some items. A propane burner (says bayou classic on it. it seems to get a pretty badass flame on it) and the stuff to make an immersion chiller. (25 feet of copper and what not. after reading some...

    Been wanting to try all grain for a while and I think this is what I want to make =). Is this something I will be able to do with BIAB?

    anyone try to flavor beer with lifesavers?

    holy crap! I've heard of it in vodka, but beer? Really don't care for sweets altogether. Think it's sweet?

    on the subject of no airlock activity

    sam smiths oatmeal stout?! One of my favorite beers, please point me in the direction of that recipe! (I was thinking I would love to make an oatmeal stout) I'm thinking this might have to do with my thread, and I appreciate it though. Really wish I came on here before I pitched more yeast -...

    fermentation trouble?

    thanks a bunch gio! So even though I'm not seeing bubbles it's probably still going to work? (I'm not seeing any tonight, but I was thinking maybe tomorrow because of the extra yeast) The Hydrometer I bought didn't come with a tube. Will it be alright to just open the top of my ferm bucket...

    fermentation trouble?

    hehe, I had a feeling of that. (misinformation) and I don't have anything to secondary ferment in. anyways, this recipe I used said it was very quick fermenting (bottling within 5 or 6 days) Since I've added more yeast, will I have to wait longer then that? I added the yeast on monday around...

    fermentation trouble?

    Sorry for the double post - It says "Yeast Energizer" and it's from LD Carlson company. I used about 2 tbsp I'm guessing - The kit I bought came with "Easy clean" Which says it's no rinse. I've been using it in a very anal matter. I even sanitized the scissors/yeastpacket and lid before...

    fermentation trouble?

    Thanks so much for the post Golddiggie!!! I was worried about the stout/porter thing. I read that the recipe might turn out that way already, but with the extra black malt ehh.. The shop seems nice, but it also doubles as a "Hydroponics" store, and the guy who sold me the brew-kit with...

    fermentation trouble?

    thanks for the help guys! I have a hydrometer, but have been a little worried about opening the guy up. (paranoid about exposing it to the air in my room) Well, maybe I should have just let it be - I've already added another 11grams of a different type of yeast, and some of the yeast enhancer...

    fermentation trouble?

    Hey guys! First post here, and well awaiting my first batch of beer. Been wanting to get into homebrew for quite a while now (even though I've only recently turned 21) but after taking a tour of a local brewery it really gave me the drive. I've been reading a lot for the past couple weeks...
