Thanks all for your insight. It really cleared up a lot for me. I have much more confidence in my extract brewing now :)

I tried searching, but really cant find any dated information, so I tried calling beer distributors and they seem to be closed, but I want an answer now! What is the PA keg deposit? Do they have keg registration? Just wondering....:drunk:

My question is a little hard to explain. Looking at AHS website, there are only maybe 6-8 different types of extracts that ship with all of their kits and clone kits. All of their clone recipe's come with one, or a mixture, this would give a finite number of possible combinations. It would...

I purchased 3 gallons of juice. The BRIX is 13, it says add 3 lb's of sugar. What kind of sugar is this? Table Sugar? Corn Sugar?

I might have had the same thing in a few batches in my secondary. They look like mold, but on closer inspection they are co2/yeast.

That method will definitly not work! But you may have a good buzz :P

Wowza! 10 gallons a week! I'd say you need to cut down a little.... I drink almost every night and I dont come close to that...

Well, after doing some more reading, I'm going to bring it inside. But i'd still like to hear your responses.

Reverend, after you pitch, put it in your lagering chest.... There is no need to wait 24 hours, this is just to ensure fermentation takes off. Also, I'm using saflager and the "best" temp is 53.3 degrees. Check your yeast vendor's temps for the optimal temp. Cheers.

As the topic says, when do I do my rest? The gravity is at 1.014 and is supposed to have a final gravity of 1.08, when should I do the rest? The krausen is beginning to fall to the bottom and will probably be there tomorrow. Also, this is my plan for after the rest: Secondary @ 53 for...

Umm, hey thanks for the scolding, that's bad sense of humor. I've about had it.

If I mixed yeast with coke, would I end up with a sort of, natural rum & coke?

How about a nice collard golf shirt that simply says HBT.com on the front left? OR... maybe you didnt hear me! HOW ABOUT A NICE GOLF SHIRT THAT SIMPLY SAYS HOMEBREWTALK.COM ON THE FRONT LEFT.... Do I win the design award?? You can see the one i'm wearing in my avatar, it says "Coors"

Grog, why did you buy a kegging setup? No one kegs anymore, we use airatomic pushing through blastic valves. Kegging leads to bad beer :)

Pretty sweet! Too bad those better bottles are so expensive :(

I would like to know what additives are worth it and what are not. I keep spending money on every additive I find to make "SUPER YEAST" but, i'm sure some of these are gimicky. Could you please respond with the additive and its noticeable usefullness.

I have lived in Syracuse all my life :) These are things we do daily heh.

I assume you are talking about a corny keg? I dont understand, you dont have a co2 system or something? Your barrel has a "tap"? I'm lost, could you please explain more :)

My GF doesnt like beer.... She barely likes to drink, but I think if I can brew a wine cooler, or something sweet with her, she might dig the process. When I visited the coors company, they had some sweet stuff that they actually brewed. Anyone have recipe's/idea's for this?

Here's what I do: 3 gallons in brewpot... 2.5 gallons in extra pot Boil 2.5 gallons in extra pot, let boil for 3 minutes, put in freezer to cool. Brewpot - If you have grains, bring to 157 degrees, steep for 20 minutes, if no grains, go straight to boil. Once boiling remove from...
