ANNDD IT'S GOOOD!! After three weeks in the primary and 2 weeks bottle carbing, I cracked open my Everyday IPA. Oh man is this good beer! It had a good feel to it and my sister says its awesome. Some things I think I'll work on in future batches whether 1 gallon or bigger: 1. There's just a...

http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/for/4342365368.html Anyone in the New Braunfels/San Marcos/San Antonio area go for it.

I was looking on Craigslist today in San Antonio. A person is selling a bottling bucket, 2g carboy, 5g carboy, immersion chiller, 5L kegs and various other items for $30. Problem is if I were to drive and go buy it I'd be short until next Friday.

Sometimes the bubbling from airlock occurs because the beer warms up a bit and CO2 is coming out of solution. From what I gather the only sure way to be sure fermentation is done is if you have consistent FG readings a few days apart.

From what I've gathered from reading alot of posts a pumpkin ale usually doesn't have pumpkin. Instead you go for an ale with a nice body and pumpkin pie flavor.

Haha. I think if I saw an alien growing in my IPA I'd probably say he has good taste :)

Hehe well ya got me on that one. I wasn't able to take a gravity reading since it was a one gallon brew and couldn't find a vessel long enough to put a sample in. It underwent a fermentation early on then fermed up again 2 weeks later. After three weeks all was quiet and it tasted pretty good so...

Yeah well had it not been for someone directing me to the calculator, I probably would've gone with the amount the directions say as opposed to what it should be. So thanks dudes! Ill stop worrying.

Nah I'm not uncapping and recapping. That would just be silly. I followed the Northern Brewer calculator for bottling with honey so hopefully I've done it right. Infection could be possible though I suppose it might have shown itself by now. So far I've hit every milestone with this brew and to...

I bottled my BBS IPA last Tuesday and they're in a dark spot at 70° carbing up (hopefully). I've been checking them everyday hoping I capped them correctly and so far no gushers. After a week does the probability of having bottle bombs go down or should I still keep an eye on them?

You wouldn't be an alcoholic if you drink a few here and there. You'd be one if you didn't give a crap about carbonation and drank your green beer as soon as it boozed up.

Be careful. I brewed the BBS IPA and you may have to use a blowoff tube for the first few days before the airlock.

Better safe then sorry. Sanitize

Yeah I remember in college we called it Power Hour and we were using Keystone. The funny thing is I had this shotglass that I always used for liquor my first year of college and eventually I figured out it was actually a candle holder that measured 2 oz.

Its not so much an old thread Scout. We're all posting new stuff we're doing in regards to BBS. On Northern Brewers website they have it calculated out to use 2 tbls of honey to give the required carbonation.

So my brother in law asked if ill be making some beer for a trip the whole family is going to take at the end of April. So now I have to figure this out because 9 beers split between a handful of drinkers isn't gonna cut it. This is starting to become a wonderful problem too have.:)

The temperature may be rising but your forgetting that originally you brought it to 155 THEN dropped steeping grains into the water which would've dropped the temperature down. From my own (limited) experience, I did an all grain 1 gallon kit and when it hit 160, I dropped the grain in and had...

Oh well I hope they carb up faster than 4 weeks considering I usually give up all extraneous drinks except for water during Lent. The funniest thing is I happened to get some of it on my hands and damned if my hands didn't smell really good afterwards. As for what to brew next I'm not sure. My...

Well the fermentation that had kicked up last week finally settled down enough to say its go time! Primed with 2 tbls of honey and ended up with 9 bottles of Everyday IPA. Well I had about 4 ounces of green beer let over from the bottling so I decided to taste it. My thoughts? It tasted good...

I believe its what the experts on this site call Chill Haze. Supposedly it happens when it takes awhile to cool your wort down after its boil. Clear at room temperature but cloudy when cold and still tastes good.
