For the Irish moss i just took a recommentation from a brewer friend.

Ok, i plan to let it sit in there for two full weeks. Its been in primary for only 5 days.

Ok, im actually ok with that. I tend to enjoy that flavor. I dont have any areas in my house that stay cooler than that.

Late addition to the boil, or in secondary? Ok, thanks! When it hits 1.010, how long should I let it sit?

Thanks! Ok, that all makes sense. Its sitting at basement temperature high 60s. Ill let it sit two weeks, to be safe.

OG was 1.050. On Monday it was 1.013.

Brewed my second batch yesterday morning before hitting the pool. Used a hefeweizen kit from NB. Here's how it went down: Original Gravity: 1.052 Terminal Gravity: 1.013 Color: 11.09 Alcohol: 5.16% Bitterness: 16.2 Ingredients: 3*lb Wheat Liquid 60 m boil 1.0*oz Tettnanger (4.5%)...

Update. Brewed this afternoon. Everything went fine as far as I could see. Sitting in primary now, going to leave for about two weeks. I'm thinking about splitting the batch for secondary. Do some sort of addition/treatment. Leave the other as is. For the smaller batch that I leave as is, is...

Wyeast 3711 French Saison

Ive got a warm room at the front of my house, upstairs. Thats my best shot.

Thanks for the tips!

Just ordered some NB extract kits. Going to brew the Petite Saison some time in the next week or so. Im thinking of splitting up the batch for primary, adding some stuff to one, leave the other alone. Would like use some herbs, maybe some citrus zest. Trying to add some nice aroma and flavor...

Hmm....that's an interesting suggestion. Let me think on that. Thanks!

I'm new around here. Been brewing with a few friends for a bit over a year now. Done several extract kits and an original extract recipe. Both of my brew buddies have much more experience brewing than I. We've had some decent success in most experiences. So now I've assembled my first basic home...
