OH, a late Welcome to the obsession! couldn't agree more with what torque said... i just never go around to looking it up. at any rate, you might have some esters but i would bet that the beer still turns out much better than BMC.

I have a blonde waiting... if i wasn't brewing an Irish red right now, i would be brewing the blonde... literally, i am about to sparge!

I would agree with elmetal... looks like you're sitting at 1.012 maybe 1.014... you said your temp is high for the fermentation so if your at like 74-80 degrees on the fermemetor then your at 1.014-1.016 depending on if thats a 12 or 14

its finally sitting in a keg, i think i timed it perfectly for being ready for thanksgiving. we will see. can't wait to try it.

yes 15 gallons, and before that was 7.5 gallons of sam oktoberfest and before that was 7.5 of miller (i know i know it was my first keg in the kegerator) now that i homebrew there is no BMC or equivalent that goes into the kegerator!

+1 bigger pot for full boils and late extract addition would also suggest though its weird for being on the christmas list, some fermentation temperature control equipment and perhaps some supplies to make yourself a stirplate. those three things will give you huge payoffs in the end even for...

i don't know, i went through a whole 15 gallons of it and it was as delicious the first drop as the last drop. its not an everyday drinker though, you do have to break it up with something else but going back to it after not having it, will be awesome

its apricot... its actually a really easy beer to make, there are tons of clone recipes out EDIT: I like to think that this is one of those beers that god himself gave to us to enjoy. a nice pale ale with a hint of hops laced with appricot. delicious!

+1 to extract being good beer! had AG brew too, which is also good

+1 was good book... dont stop there, read all you can get ur hands on

+1 to all, and i would add, stay away from any lager style beer. equipment alone for that is too expensive for your first "i don't wanna F up beer" BUT, my first batch was a kit and it turned out great...

I am ignorant to reading electronic schematics and am looking to upgrade my DIY stirplate to include the LM317 circuit. my problem is that after searching thread upon thread it all leads back to follow the schematic. so i tried to make the circuit but to no avail, the plate doesn't work. so...

Wondering if anyone has ever built/fab'd/made/etc. a distributer to split off co2 lines off of the co2 regulator or wherever to run multilple kegs off of 1 tank. i am sure there is a way because it seems like lowes/home depot has all the necessary components but i am not the problem solving type.

Well, I was looking for a Roxy Rolles clone and came across this. It doesn't do me any good because i am extract with steeping right now but here is what it is. I have a brewing buddy who has made it and side by side was damn near perfect. Magic Hat Roxy Rolles American Amber Ale 6 gallon...

if you wanted more buzz couldn't you just add some more malt extract or mash some more grain?

we will see in about a week i guess. just hoping that i don't have to polish off 5 gal. because it is going to degrade in flavor.

i happened to go by the LHBS and the owner and i started talking. he commented that my recently bottled heffe should be fully consumed in the next 4 weeks or it will degrade in quality. From everything i have read and learned and whatnot i thought that the first 10 days of capped is just...

isn't that the truth!
