Pyramid is by Safeco Field. I always enjoy going there before catching a Mariners game. Of course, its only relevant if you like baseball, and if the Mariners are in town. I should have checked before I mentioned it I suppose

I dont understand how instructions can tell you when to bottle your beer. It all depends on fermentation time. I have bottled a couple batches after leaving them in secondary for more than a week and they came out great.

I brewed an IPA using only mosaic hops and it came out great. Kind of grapefruity, but I think it would work well as a summer ale. Gonna experiment with Mosaic and a couple different hops when I try my first AG brew.

mowing my lawn (I love it), barbecuing, playing MLB 2013: The Show, and golfing. Currently enjoying Sam Adams Summer Ale (my fave). Plan on cloning it next year. I will admit that somewhere in there, I'm going to be bottling my pilsner.

Nah, I store each batch in the same box in my beer room with the temperature set at 68 degrees.

I boil the sugar for 3 minutes, let it cool and then dump it into the bucket first. I'll try stirring, but like you said, I shouldn't have to. the swirling should be enough.

Yeah, I don't think so either.

I would probably even use it for a stout, not that I will ever brew one, don't like them. I do, however use it with my Porter though, and definitely would with a Pale, although I haven't tried brewing one yet.

25518 - Irish Moss is used for clarity, and I highly recommend it, unless you are brewing a beer that is supposed to be somewhat cloudy. I.e. hefeweisen

I was wondering about stirring it. I've heard you aren't supposed to and just leave the priming sugar on the bottom. I will stir it up next batch and see how it goes.

I've bottled 8 batches now, using priming sugar for carbonation. Every single batch has carbonated unevenly. Some bottles will be ready in 4 weeks, some need 4 more weeks at least. Is there a trick to getting it to carbonate evenly? Should I be using something other than priming sugar?

I did almost the same thing last weekend. My brewing buddy came over to brew two batches, and of course we were drinking beer. We invited two other friends over to check out what we were doing. they brought Jack Daniel's. In the middle of all this we had a batch to bottle. COMPLETELY forgot the...

I cannot relate, I live in Oregon which, is not only a beautiful state, but pretty relaxed on home brewing. Also, I can't think of a better state as far as micro breweries.

I am only a little bit polite, so I read your experience as something my fiancee would have left me for, but I don't think I would look to bed bath and beyond for glass bottles. I have a friend in the sanitation industry who brings me 22 ounce bottles all the time. Haven't had to buy any yet! if...

Ok, sounds like it isn't too big a deal. I didn't end up with the full volume. I had to add water slowly to the boil, being careful not t lose the rolling boil. Thanks!

Hello, let me just start by saying that I love this site. I get most of my information from it, so thankyou! I brewed my 5th and 6th batches last night (extract), but I tried something different on the 6th batch, an IPA. Instead of following the hop schedule the usual way, I boiled the...
