Congrats on your first brew. Let us know how it turns out.

Be careful buying sugar cubes. Some of them come in half teaspoon size. You may have to double to get proper carbonation. Just my $0.02. Bill

Awesome dude.

4587+ 3 = 4590

Just tasted my Centennial Blonde after a week in the LBK. Tastes amazing. Going to bottle in 2 weeks.

That's what I was thinking. Just was not sure it was enough grain to make a difference. I have some US-05 on hand. Thank you for the reply. Bill

I have a Mr. Beer Blonde Ale kit. I can extract, 1 bag booster, and yeast under lid. I will have some Cara-pils, Vienna, and Crystal 10L left from my Centennial Blonde. I also have some Centennial and Cascade hops left as well. I will have half a pound of each grain and half an ounce of...

I read on here yesterday that leaf hops are generally removed and for pellets it does not matter. (not sure what I looked up when I came across it) Just did a search on removing hops. General thinking says it is just personal preference. Bill

Looking at doing 1 gallon SMASH recipes. Don't want to drink lots of beer I don't like. I too can brew larger batches when I want.

You should post info on your process and equipment. Reading through posts, you should leave the lid off so the nasties can boil off. Folks with more experience will probably give more insight. Bill

Well it is better to have to much space than not enough. Bill

I am getting a tube. I have 2 thermometers. Cannot hurt to have 2 hydrometers.

Nice job! What size freezer? Just getting into AG. Thinking kegging is the next logical upgrade.

I am going to do another half batch using US-05. Debating if I should wait until I get the sample tube. I will get a second hydrometer soon. I read on here that you should always have 2. However; I do not think I really need a refractometer.

I did not clean the bag, just rinsed it out. Thank you. Fermenting now. Currently in my hall closet. If it gets to warm, I will put it in the mini fridge. I do not have anything tall enough to take a gravity reading. I will order something this week.

Rinsed out my paint strainer bag. Not what do I do with it? Let it dry then store in a zip lock?

Going well. Mash is still at 150 after 45 min. Ended up putting grains in pot cause my bag was to small to fit around my pot. However; I transferred the mash to my 5 gallon water cooler. Bag fits in the cooler.

Thanks. That's what I figured.

I just realized I got Cascade as whole leaf and Centennial as pellets. Will that make a huge impact? Should all hops be either leaf or pellet? Or does it not really matter? I cannot see it being a big deal. Just asking for future reference as it is too late for this batch. Bill
