I love IPAs but I know those have a high price tag.

I was going to wait until my first brew was done but it looks like everything is going ok. If it has any off flavors the blueberry extract should cover it up. I just don't want to stop the flow of beer in my house as I need it to flow for the next 5 months until I move. I was thinking about...

I am curious to why everyone suggests how long to let the beer ferment is different. I suppose too many people pull the beer to early. The directions do say 7-10 days but better to let it go two-three weeks right?

Oh noes :o

Do you think I should use a second container? The instructions say I can do either or.

Thanks :) I know I am new but it sounds like we have somewhat of a lack of decent club in the Ocala/gainesville/highsprings area. If anyone wants to try and get a meet going at Market Street or something that would be great.

Can you not tell if you have an infection until the end of the fermentation process? I assume fermentation is suppose to smell sour.. Anyways here is what it looks like right now.

This was 5 gallons and the only ice I had was what was in the ice maker. I did not understand when I did this that you should use a 16 pound bag. Anyways everything is fermenting away and it gets faster every few hours. It is not overflowing like I see in youtube videos or pics but everything...

One of my friends bought me some Steel reserve. Poured that out. But does that even count as beer?

eh, I dunno. You have to pay 20 bucks and I was quite afraid of it being like that to begin with.

I suppose so. What did the guy said he did not like about the club?

I also put my wort in the freezer to cool it off. Didn't know that was a no no :(

My ale is really really dark also and I did use irish moss. Didn't really do much.

Yeah that is where I bought my kit. I assumed the club was them but it is not?

Just waiting on my first brew to ferment hope it turns out alright. Anyone know a club around here?

I want to try another easy beer for my next one again. What is the cheapest and easy beer to brew for the first few batches?

Yeah it did burn their are marks at the bottom of the pot and there was some black stuff floating around. Not too many marks though.. I was curious can I boil 2 gallons and add 3 gallons of cold water to cool it off. Because I can't get 3 gallons to boil but I bet 2 gallons would.

I had an insane amount of problems from the very start. The first one being that the stove could not get 3 gallons of water to boil which caused problems with the malt. I had to cover it to get it to boil then leave it 2/3 covered to keep it at a high temp. So I had malt sitting right at 209...
