Thanks.. I guess i should be alright. Anyone else feel free to chime in

Using ice baths?

Hi. I'm going to be doing my first brew any day now, but I realized something. I received my 30Qt aluminum turkey fryer today and I was looking at the instructions and it said the pot may warp. I was surprise there were so few threads on the subject. Wouldn't an ice bath warp the...

thanks everyone. I'll let you know how it goes and if I have any questions

Is fruit really that difficult? I might just use concentrate then. Homer... I'm almost done with the 1st section online book on howtobrew.com and it is very helpful, and i'm not gonna brew till I finish sections 1 and 2. I don't have instructions so IDK if it's 5 or 5.5. It's just random...

My yeast still has almost a year to go, so I guess im good there. Should I worry about SG right now w/ my first batch? I still find it really confusing. If you have a link that will give me an easy introduction to it, that would help. Everythign I find is all confusing.

I'm reading up on the yeast now. I only got one packet and i'm worried that it may not be good. I'm going to rehydrate/prime it to make sure its okay, so please lemme know if I got this right... mix the packet in 1 cup of 95degree water. Add a teaspoon of sugar. Within 1/2 hour it should...

Oh. It's a little late now. my LHBS isn't really so local, it's like a 45 min drive and I don't think there are any much closer. It's all good though, I'll do my best to do it right.

I looked at the powdered wheat bag and it does in fact say DME. I'll probably be back when I have another question. Thanks again for all help.

THanks guys. Space, that's exactly what I wanted. To see the names of the ingredients that they would call it in an instructional. I'm gonna see if the bags say anything on them so we can figure out just type of wheat it is.

Okay, so powdered stuff is also considered extract... And if i were doing PM or AG then I wouldn't have that powder, and I would seep it in a grain bag. Do I got that right? And when would I add the crushed grain?

Thanks for all the help. I have 2 types of wheat, the ground up one mixed with Carapilis and the powdered one. What do I do with the powdered wheat? It's really powdery like flour, so I'm not sure what to do with it. I read up on the pasteurization, seems simple enough. Rcreveli, IDK...

Hi. I went to my LHBS and the man basically picked everything out for me. I forgot to ask, however, if what he gave me would be considered Partial mash or AG. Here's what he gave me... 1/2 wheat/ 1/2 carapils (sp?) (ground up pretty good) 2.5 # wheat (powdered) 1 can malt extract 1 oz...

I'm in northern nj. I live up by new york. thanks tho

That's great. I called a not-so-local LHBS, and I think they would be helpful. I'm gonna go there when I get a chance. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know what I choose and how it goes.

Thanks gestyr. I'll look into the wheat and cream ale. I know what I like, but I don't know what recipes would give me a similar taste.. I don't really have too many brew supply shop in my area, but i'm trying to find one. I'm open to more suggestions before I buy all my supplies.

Hi. I'm new to beer brewing. I'm not a huge beer drinker, and have only been drinking for a few years, but being as though I'm in college, I thought it would be cool to brew my own. I have no clue what all these different beers are and I don't know how to choose a recipe kit. I'm gonna...
