So I have the ingredients for the clone (extract), but I don't know when to add lactose... could someone just write out the whole process for the recipe with these ingredients: Extract.............6lbs Lactose.................1lbs Briess 2 row caramel 60 grains...........11 oz Fuggles...

Yeah, I thought it looked like it was coming along just fine. Out of curiosity, when do you guys do your first tastes usually? Obviously its not ready, but I dont' want to mess with the process, so when I can try it, what do I use and how do I do it safely?

Hey guys, Since this is my first brew I wanted to take a picture of it after a week and make sure that it is looking like it is on track and not infected (I'm 99% sure it's not infected as of this exact moment) OG: 1.065 Current Gravity: 1.019 Let me know what you think!

I learn from others so I will wait, till then it is Sweetwater IPA

Awesome thanks man

Well, I am using a recipe in stead of a kit at least...some kudos?

Yeah, then added lme and hops accordingly, guess it makes sense if I had lme then it was an extract brew

Sweet, we'll have to trade a beer some time

Ahh, see, that's why I asked the difference, never know till you ask right?

Hey, I'm in grovetown and I haven't found a brew store in Augusta, I use brewmasters warehouse in ATL Also, they have one day shipping for 6.99

Ok, thanks

Haha, ill get on that homer

Cool, so my first brew was an all grain brew, hope it turns out well, smells great so far

Between all grain, partial mash, and extract brewing? (Simply put)

I'm noticing John! And ill try that next time, it makes sense to use the test tube

Awesome, man I love this forum, thanks all for the fast responses and great info. I'll try not to be too annoying

Note, also since this is my first brew, will the foam on the wort from fermentation settle out by the time I need to check my final gravity?

Roger, thanks man

Sounds good, and yes I'm dry hopping, so it sounds like I should use a secondary then. How often should I check with my hydrometer? My og was 1.065 and out of impatience I checked at 2 days for fun, and it was 1.035, so its doing work, so now I just wait 10 more days and rack to secondary?

I'm making an American pale ale, and the recipe says wait 2 weeks in primary, 2 weeks in secondary, then bottle and wait to weeks to drink... Does this sound right?
