Bottled mine today after 2 weeks in primary and 16 days in secondary. I used normal table sugar and got to thinking, has anyone used brown sugar for bottling?? Thought that sounded pretty good, and I'd like to try it! But MAN did that little "tea" smell heavenly. I cannot wait to try it.

Brewed this yesterday. 'Twas my first AG batch, so I got to use all new equipment. Everything went very smoothly and this smelled absolutely amazing. Can't wait to try it!

Here they are!

I plan on cracking one later. I'll add a few pics!

To elaborate on the carb levels, I have been pouring into a Sam Adams glass and it fills a head about 1.5 inches on the top with a decent pour. Not quite pouring like a nitro milk stout from left hand, but not being terribly easy with it lol.

I bottled it with 5.1 oz of table sugar. I believe the date was the 16 of October. I had two tonight. Kinda have to pour it a little hard, but I love it. Next time ill use 4/5 of the candi because it's ever so slightly sweet. Additionally I'd up the cinnamon very slightly as well, maybe 20%...

Just cracked my first bottle after being bottled for 5 days. Not TOTALLY carbed. But I needed it for a football tailgate tomorrow morning and it's definitely ready. Turned out phenomenal. With the ease of making it, I can for sure say it will be brewed again very soon. Also extremely drinkable...

I bottled it yesterday before work. This weekend is when I need it ready so I can tell ya then. Saturday to be specific. When I bottled though it seemed well balanced, though possibly over bitter compared to the malt. I love a hoppy beer though. On a side note: I didn't follow the hop...

I just put the dme in at 15. Worked perfectly fine for me. Boiled 3 gal, topped up to 5. After topping up I was right on with the OG

Bottling this tomorrow. Took a gravity reading earlier and dang it's good

Tried it today. And it taste a lot like thirsty dogs 12 dogs of Christmas. A different sort of sweet to it though. I'm assuming from the candi sugar and thirsty dog uses honey. Either way can't wait to bottle and carb, because this thing is GOOD.

Thank you both, I appreciate it.

I've got a recipe that turned out PHENOMENAL and called for 6.6 pounds light LME 1 pound light DME I'm not too concerned for the color I guess, just want the taste to be close and I can't quite understand this conversion stuff. can anyone help convert this to grain weight and what...

Consider that idea stolen lol

Oh and when I checked the gravity I was 1.014 and my FG is supposed to be 1.012. My OG was 1.056 which according to brewtoad is what I wanted

HEy guys I have a Porter I made the other week and it's been fermenting for 10 days. I racked it to a glass carboy yesterday after fermentation apparently stopped for 2 days. Well it's been bubbling pretty good since then at about 1 bubble every 5 seconds or so. Someone I trust suggested...

I love it. Those would be cool Christmas gifts

What hop additions d??

Browning gold hunter 3" and hopefully a dead turkey.

Ello guys. Bored as all get out hunting this morning. But beats doing anything else
