Just for the fact that Austins is on the forums promoting his product speaks wonders about his personality and business. I deal with a local brewing shop that charges almost twice the amount for nearly everything and quite frankly I'm getting sick of it. I for one love to support someone local...

thanks for bumping, I'm just now doing my first orange, honey, wheat beer right now. Right now I'm planning on pitching my orange right at flame out and the honey about 4 days into fermentation. I think I got this right, anyone care to chime in?

Heres a link to the instructions. http://www.brewersbestkits.com/pdf/1045_Imperial_Pale_Ale.pdf

No, the bottles have been in a dark cabet for just over a week at about 67 degrees or so.

So is the beer I brewed was a IIPA then? If its a imperial pale ale that means alot more hops were use in the brewing process. I've tasted a few beers dubed indian pale ales and they seem to have a more flowery aroma and a less distinct hops taste. By all means please correct me if I'm wrong...

I guess the noob should read up a little. Sorry. Stright from Wikpeida. "Double India Pale Ales (abbreviated Double IPAs or DIPAs) are a strong, very hoppy style of pale beer. Also known as Imperial IPAs (or IIPAs), these beers have high amounts of malt and hops. Double IPAs typically...

Umm its already leaving foam rings around the glass as I drink

Maybe I'm missing something, but the box states Imperial. This is the exact kit I used. http://cgi.ebay.com/BREWERS-BEST-IMPERIAL-PALE-ALE-BEER-INGREDIENT-KIT-/220667464730?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3360ce4c1a

This was my first batch and I'll have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised. I did a Imperial Pale Ale. At week one I believe the taste is a little "green" fromt what I under stand. This was from a Brewers Best kit and they listed the ABV as 8-8.5% :tank: Its got good carbs so far. The taste is...

Kinda what I was thinking. Hopefuly no harm was done.

So I got my second batch going and decided to try a different place to rest the primary. My first batch I did in a spare bedroom and the temps stayed pretty steady at 66-65. This new batch I placed above the fridge in a cabnet. I've seen temps 69-72. Do you think this will be too warm...

I just trasfered the batch over to the carboy for bottling tomorrow. Looks and smells wonderful!

It is infact Frank. How do you know of him?

Thanks the the links. I've been reading/trying to soak in all this information and it can be a bit overwelming at times. After reading about secondary fermentation is almost obsolete I think I'll be leaving it in the primary for 3 weeks or so. I seem to have a VERY stable 65 degrees in a dark...

Just what I wanted ot hear tmurp6. Again, thanks for all the help everyone! I'll surely post some pics and reviews of my final batch!

I plan on using my glass carboy for a secondary fermentation and it says to transfer to the secondary container for further fermentation. Is there a specific gravity to transer? The kit says to transfer at 5-7 days, or when the bubbling slows. You say to take a gravity reading in two weeks, I'm...

Yet another detail question... The IPA has been fermenting since Friday night at about 10:30, started bubbling Saturday afternoonish. When is a good time to take another gravity reading? and do I take the bucket lid off and place the sanitized hydrometer dirrectly in the bucket or should I...

One more minor goof. The OG going into the fermenter was 1.073 and as stated in the instructions it said to use 1.081-1.085. I added 2 gallons of water after alll the brewing was done, and thats what the OG came to. Hind sight is 20/20, should of added little by little untill the specified OG...

well, I just goofed :( When I was adding the liquid and dried malt extract I forgot to add the third bag of DME until the first round of Hops were in the pot for a minute or so. I'm hoping I didn't screw it up too bad. It seemed to disolve just fine. Time will tell I suppose.

Sorry, I'm use to saying/dealing 5 gallon buckets, it is infact the 6.5 gallon bucket.
