Yeah that my plan. I'm just going to let it do its thing as per instructions, which is 2 week in primary and two in secondary. Which for me is a month in primary since I only have a primary vessel at the moment. May ramp temp up a bit the last week to clean up flavors.

Well guys my first batch ha been sitting in the fermenter for about three days now. Brew day went pretty well. There are a few things I need to streamline but other than that good. My OG was supposed to be 1052 and I hit 1051. My airlock stopped bubbling after about a day but I'm going to leave...

Yeah that was actually my next step. Haha. Going to do a chocolate milk stout my second time around.

Will do thanks for the link.

Thanks. Really happy to b starting a new hobby. I am also a film collector and a good beer always goes with a good flick. Why not make my own!

It's going to be an extract kit of Caribou Slobber. Starting on extract kits to get the basics down.

I have been taking temp readings in a few different places. I know most put them in their basements. Looks like my...

I am ordering all my equipment from Northern brewer. It comes with three extract kits to choose from. I am going with the Caribou Slobber. It's an American Brown Ale. I am nervous but excited.

Hey all. I had a question in another thread and got some great info. I am brand new to home brewing(actually don't have all of my equipment yet). I should have it within the next few weeks. Ill be doing extract kits for a while so I get the Hang of the general process.

Yeah it is easy to get around here. I was not planning on using it straight away just figured if I had it why not keep it for future use. Thanks for the info.

Sanitized. Geesh.

Store it. Sorry. Damn iPhone.

One I am new to the forum and also to home brewing. I just finished off a bottle of mons abbey blonde. On the back of the bottle it says to save the last ounce in a shot glass to collect brewers yeast. I have two questions. Is this a viable form of collecting yeast and if so how do I stirs it...
