Aroma hops in the Kolsch wort.

Brewed July 1, 2007

Thank you! Yep, I was thinking I needed something like a Kolsch for the rest of summer.

Thank you! I used White Labs liquid Kolsch yeast.

Back to brewing. Money got tight, I changed jobs, now I'm brewing again! :mug: I'm brewing AHS Kolsh from an extract kit. Since I'm 30 min. into the boil, I'd better get back in there. Just wanted to make a note of the brew date and celebrate my ability to start brewing again!

Just wanted to note that I bottled yesterday. I got 51 12oz bottles, and I tasted a little. The flavor is good, but I'm wondering about the alcohol content. I think I missed my FG by a bit. No big deal. Now I just have to leave it alone in that closet for a few weeks.

Which local shop is that? I'm in Baton Rouge, also. I didn't know we had a local homebrew shop!

Just an update... I racked to secondary for the first time. I took a reading (1.020), and tasted what I tested. This is going to be some good beer. It was 8 days in primary. I plan to go 14 in secondary then bottle.

Here's a link to the first page that came up when I Googled "Racking to Secondary". http://www.geocities.com/lesjudith/HomeBrewingTips/HomeBrewingTips.html That's where the 75g of sugar came from. So, since I brewed last Sunday, and since the air lock has been quiet since Thursday, I should...

Hey Folks, For my first 2 brews, I used a brew bucket for primary and then racked to a bottling bucket where I primed and bottled. With this batch (Irish Red Ale from an extract kit), I used a carboy for primary (what fun to watch!), and I plan to rack to the old fermenting bucket for...

This is just after pitching the yeast.

Congrats! My first two are also delicious, and I'm hoping to brew my 3rd on Saturday. Sounds like you're hooked!

Ah, well, I'd guesstimate my viewing at 5 to 10 % at best. You see, we're not supposed to be use the internet for personal use at work. At home, I'm on this forum, alt.smokers.pipes, and banjohangout.org. My wife says I'm on the computer too much already, soooooo, I limit them all just to topics...

Is this an estimate, or is there something on the forum that tells you what percentage you've read?

I haven't tried this one, but I brewed their clone of Pete's Wicked Ale, and it tastes just like the real deal, to me. Anchor Steam Liberty Ale is delicious. I say, go for it. I'll be brewing AHS's Irish Red Ale some time this week. My extract kit arrived today. Looking forward to that!

I'll make a point of including that in my next order. I just can't do everything at once (financially).

Yes, thank you for that reminder. My brother has told me this a couple of times. I plan to use the handle for shifting and balancing while I get it into my arms. I eventually plan to get one of those cradle sling carrier things. Since I brew downstairs and ferment upstairs, using the carboy...

Hey Breaux! (and all the rest of you). Pet's R Us it is. I'll check that out some time before brewing. Right after I posted this question I told my wife I might check out some pet store aquarium departments. So, I guess I had an answer brewing in my head already. Great minds, eh?

I'm about to brew again this coming weekend, and I'll be using a carboy as a fermenter for the first time. When I ordered my kit, I remembered to order a carboy handle to help with moving it around, but I forgot to order an extra stick-on thermometer. Do y'all think I can successfully peel the...
