woops forgot to put the mash schedule my bad. yeah changed the boiling of the first addition to 55mins instead of 40 is what that means. Mash schedule was as follows. 3 1/4 gallons of water heated to 168 for the strike... supposed to settle between 152-154 degrees which it did. let it...

So I began AG brewing this summer. Bought all the stuff and I've been very successful so far. The first AG brew I made I was way off with my volume... a learning process but the brew came out decent anyways. My friend and I thought it needed alittle more hops so we bought the same kit and...

So if I pull them.... will they skunk?

Ok I already made a post and received feedback last week but my situation has changed. I have a pretty brand new capper... its red with two handles and he magnet in the middle. I used Munton's carb tabs to carb my beer. Put it in the bottles 2 Thursdays ago (1 day short of 2 weeks) The...

Okay, well they're in the fridge now so they should carb up faster

How long do they usually take to carbonate? Back of the package says 1 week. I bottled last thursday and decided to try one today, figuring that if they weren't all the way carbonated, they'd be carbonated enough for drinking. Turns out it hasn't carbonated one bit... I am very confused...

I think its been saved. I set to 5psi and poured a glass today. had a head to it but was lightly carbed..... set to 10psi and going to use the set and forget method explained in the thread... Thanks!

I read the thread, very informative. I over carbed my beer, let it sit for a week at 35psi.... Getting all foam. Was wondering how to "fix" this. Sticky'd thread says multiple purges but I don't know what that means, (I assume letting the C02 out?). I dropped my pressure to 5psi before...

well, I dunno about efficiency, I used a recipe and AG kit from seven bridges organic homebrew supplies. I'm probably ok with this brew, just might be a little stronger because the gravity was off because I didnt use enough sparge... and I wont have the volume I wanted. All my questions got...

Thanks for the replies. I felt that I couldn't boil much more over 5 1/4 gallons of wort because I thought the beer would be watered down. If simply adding volume and boiling down is the answer I can't wait to fire up the kettle.

I have been home brewing since November of 2007. I started out with extract kits, moved to making my own extract recipes, and using specialty stuff. This July I decided to make the move to AG brewing. I have to say it wasn't too terribly difficult and I think I did well. I have a few...

to me it isn't about price its about quality of the kit. Kettle to Keg kits are great. They are from Suncook NH.

ProMash was pretty decent
