Well, I must say it turned out perfect. Took it to a local brewfest and won Peoples Choice Best Beer 2013 with it competing against 10 other all grain brewers!! The 5 gal was pouring foam by 2.5 hrs! Great kit and am glad I added the dry hop ands 1lb DME steps!

warmed it back up in the house and took a reading. It is at 1.010. Transferred to secondary on 1oz of cascade and will pull it off to the keg next week. Thanks for the responses!:ban:

Im in a pickle! I have a Chocolate Covered BEAVR nuts extract kit that's been sitting for a while in my fermenting chamber that I am planning on making today. I don't have any ingredients to make a starter and I have only one packet of 05. This seems to be a possibly high gravity beer. Can I...

So I'm brewing a Sierra Nevada clone at 1.060. Fermenting in my outside fridge I usually keep my beers at 64 degrees. Well, the weather changed drastically a few nights ago and when I went out to check on my beer, the temp on the plastic carboy said 56! The krausen had disappeared and no...

I just kegged the island hopper IPA from Midwest.:( There is something off with this batch, much darker than I expected even though I added the lme late in the boil. Hops had a definite pepper taste, no citrus whatsoever. It has a strange off/dirty/earthy/twangy taste. My homebrew club thinks it...

thanks for calming my nerves, :o, my second beer and was a bit freaked out.

og was supposed to be 1052-1056 but im reading 1064. the temp at time of reading is 70 degrees. Should I pitch an extra packet of yeast or will one safale 05 be enough? Am I still ok?:confused:

I am about to brew a morebeer extract kit APA2 but I want to sub in some simcoe pellets (1oz) that I have. Im not sure how to do this without messing up the beer but I love simcoe and its the only recipe I have on hand right now that I can use them in. Heres what the kit calls for as far as the...

And I thought getting to have the first sip of the beers I would get from the fridge for my dad when I was 8 was bad. Your starting em early! ;)

I am worried leaving it on the trub might impart some off flavors. My noob mistake was pitching at mid/high 70s temp. I was over zealous and pitched the dry yeast as soon as I poured it into the fermenter. Figured out my mistake when I read the yeast directions a few hrs later, co I crashed it...

My 1st brew is NB Caribou Slobber extract kit. Hit my OG at 1052 and a week later I'm at 1019. Should I let it set another week before transferring it to 2ndary? I'm getting antsy after tasting it today :D Going to transfer it on top of a vanilla bean sitting in about 2oz vanilla vodka for a...

Question. Just got two old corny kegs and am cleaning them with PBw. Can i run it through a line to another keg to without hurting the picnic line. Is PBw safe for lines and connectors. I only have the little 1/2 cup kit version of PBw and it doesn't specify.
