Don't try after two weeks, wait three or four. It will be difficult, but the result better.

When I was just getting started brewing I ordered a bottle capper, caps, auto-siphon, and more C-Brite from BBS. Probably cheaper elsewhere, but I didn't know much at the time.

I have an autosiphon and it's awesome! The tube clamp is not the best so I just ordered a bottle filler. I am interested to try cold crashing the next time I bottle so that I don't have to worry about trub as much. I also ordered a grain bag to line my strainer when I sparge... hopefully that...

I like Midwest Supplies, but they don't have flat rate. I don't drive, and my LHBS is not very local at all, so the shipping cost is worth it to me. My only prob with Midwest is that they don't stock all the grains I need, so I have to make certain substitutions. Northen Brewer grain costs seem...

Where are you ordering from?

Stoked for you. I am planning out my grain orders and brews for the next few months. Excited.

Yay! That color looks great.

Yay! Brewed my Grapefruit Honey Ale on Sunday. I ended having to add extra water to lower the mash temperature, so I didn't fit it all in my gallon jug. That said, the initial fermentation brew the rubber stopper out the first day! I definitely like the screw cap stopper from the kit better...

How are your brews going? I was very pleased with how the Everyday IPA (kit) turned out and I hope to brew it again, but I have a bunch of others lined up already. I have Coffee & Donut Stout (kit) fermenting now and I'm brewing Grapefruit Honey Ale (kit) today. My first recipe from the book...

I have about that much trub in my gallon of Coffee & Donut Stout right now. I had a similar amount in my Everyday IPA. No worries.

I ordered two more 1 gallon glass jugs so I will always have something going in primary. Jumping into two gallons at a time is tempting.

Shared my Everyday IPA at a family gathering today. I was a bit nervous. One bottle was carbed perfectly and another was too carbed. It tasted pretty good. I brought home all the empties from the party for future use. All in all a good day! Brewed the Coffee & Donut Stout yesterday!

@Ply318ci Midwest Supplies sells a bunch of grains in half pound increments and their prices seem to be pretty good.

I cracked open my first bottle of this last night. It was pretty good, but not carbed enough. I'm bringing some to share with my family tomorrow. Pretty psyched. I printed out some bottle hangers that were mentioned in another thread. Note: I was drinking this mid-evening and suddenly I feel...

Hi Jake. I just started brewing stuff from Brooklyn Brew Shop and based on everything I've read, the two weeks in primary and two weeks in bottle is not enough time. I left my Everyday IPA in primary for three weeks, then bottled. No exploding bottles at all. I'm not gonna crack anything open...

I just purchased the same book and that recipe stood out to me as something I really wanted to try. Keep us updated! Until then I think I'll hold off on trying this out.

Hi! I got one of these kits for Christmas, and after assembling the rest of my supplies, brewed and bottled the Everyday IPA in March. I probably made some rookie mistakes, but I am pretty confident that it will turn out decently. I've been doing a bunch of "research" online and getting myself...
