Well pitched my starter on to the wort last night. Starter looked good, rather active. And i know, i know, it doesn't matter much if at all if the airlock does anything but that didn't stop me from smiling this morning when i saw it bubbling every 7-10 seconds or so. actually one of the cats...

Well i'm not sure if it'll turn out great or not since i just did it last night, but if i doesn't i don't think this particular mistake was the fault. Lets hope though Everything into the fermentor, topped it off with water, went to grab the yeast starter and knocked a lid into the fermentor...

I too have no experience with this but i have seen those elements on sale at online homebrew stores. I know Basic Brewing Radio had an "electric brewing" episode, since i don't have that equipment i haven't listened to it fully but it might be a good listen for you. It's the 4/29/10 episode of...

Hello fellow Jerseyite Same here, started with Mr. Beer, got 5 gal batch stuff, but I'm still going to use the Mr. Beer. I figure it'll also be good for experimental stuff that I'm not sure how it's going to turn out but at least I'll only be out 2 gallons instead of 5. anyway welcome from a...

Hello to the OP from about an hour south in Point Pleasant, NJ!! hello to every one else as well from various distances from me. Kyle

made a 1 liter starter last night, only did a one liter because i don't have a scale accurate enough to measure how much DME i was putting in so i used a measuring cup and just kept checking the gravity of the mix till i got it close. Wasn't about to do that a second time. Looks like it's all...

sweet, thanks. i was hoping there was a different solution (i knew it wouldn't happen but i was hoping it would be something i could easily obtain or if i could just pitch it but that was 100% wishful thinking) but oh well, 3-4 oz out of the 2 lb shouldn't make that huge of a difference anyway...

because i didn't pay attention when i bought my kit i didn't realize that the yeast i got (Wyeast American Ale II Propagator) requires a starter. I knew it was a good idea to make one but didn't realize it was actually required till now. To avoid a fairly long trip to the HBS for DME/LME, or...

that's officially my favorite possible answer to my question thanks

not sure if you guys have any more advice on this, the kit i'm using ingredient list: 6 lb. Briess Gold Liquid extract, 2 lb. Light dried malt extract, 1 lb. Caravienne grain, .75 oz Magnum (Yakima/US), 1 oz. Amarillo, 2 oz. Cascade hops. Figured doing a dryhop with 2 oz of cascades that i have...

Love this forum, i just came on here because i was thinking of doing almost the same thing, only difference being mine is the Hopscare IPA kit from Midwest, and i'm thinking of using more cascades to dryhop, probably 2oz maybe a bit more. If i find out anything about it i'll let you know what i get.

hahahahaha NICE!

yeah NJ is insanely expensive to live in these days, especially if God forbid you actually own your house. Little Silver wouldn't be bad now though as far as for stuff to do though, Asbury has gotten WAY nicer (well east of the tracks at least) depending on how long ago you left. Nice bars and...

Well I'm originally from Hoboken so i grew up calling it the shore even once i moved there. That's probably why, especially since most of my family still lives in North Jersey. Little Silver's a nice area, have a bunch of friends from up there. I felt that happening with just the mr. beer kit...

Been lurking for quite some time, finally got around to starting a Mr. Beer kit this past weekend, enjoyed the process a lot even though it was a bit too simple. Broke down the next day and ordered a starter kit and a bunch of other items from Midwest Supplies. Now i just sit at my computer at...
