I'm just not happy with the way it tastes pretty much...my second brew was a Dead Ringer IPA and I made sure I did everything I needed to do. I followed every direction and sanitized everything completely and did secondary fermentation. I don't have a freezer for ferm temp control but the ferm...

Thanks for all the tips

Got a boil...added all the DME and some of the LME...now waiting for a boil again to start the hop additions and the rest of the LME...

FWIW, I can hopefully get some temp control tomorrow at the earliest (I have a temp controller, all I need is the freezer). I already rehydrated two packs of dry yeast, and have two more, along with wyeast yeast nurtient). I'm just panicking right now because I can't get a good boil.

So, I've been waiting to start brewing for awhile now..like 3 months. Until today, I've gotten everything I need to start (Currently waiting on a chest freezer via sketchy craiglist). Unfortunately, I drank a little too much tonight and was inspired to start now (via drunk partner who is now...

One last question. Since the temperature in the bucket will be higher than the actual temperature of the freezer what temperature should I set the temp controller at?

I'll be on the look out for a 9 or more cf freezer. Which digital temp controller do you recommend? I plan on fermenting with the chest freezer outside in a shed which can get pretty hot because I don't have enough room in the house.

I'm interested in getting a chest freezer for fermenting ales in the summer. I've looked around here but was wondering if anyone could lead me into the right size chest freezer to look for (looking to fit 2 6.5 gallon buckets in there at the same time). And I'm also having trouble deciding...

Thanks...the article looks very helpful and I'm going to follow everyone's advice and start with a more basic, easy recipe.

Good ideas. I guess I should wait until I have an idea of what I'm doing, rather than try a clone that doesn't turn out well. I think I'll try a Nut Brown or American Brown kit from Austin Homebrew.

I am new to homebrewing and have been reading How to Brew. I can't get started until another few months and am going to read a couple more books, since I can't get started on any hands-on learning yet. I am planning on doing a Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale clone recipe that I found on here...
