i did try to send the wife out for it. she almost went.. lol. What i did was this... i picked up the 1lb of DME today, boiled it in about a quart or so of water for 10 minutes or so. (had my first boilover in the house in the process..lol) it was all good tho... i cooled it and dumped it...

Bought a blue moon clone extract kit at a local place.. Just steepes the grains and realised they left out 1 lb of dme. I have 1lb of the 2.... Called the place they said i can pick up the other 1lb and add it at a later time. Any suggestions on how to go about this? Just now starting the 60...

I agree there! definetly was nice to have one of those after grass cutting. was very easy to make for my first go around.

I'm not sure. its a 5 gallon pepsi keg, with a regulator and 5lb co2 tank i just got filled. found it on craigslist. it was in good shape. the guy i got it from kinda walked me through some things and went over it which was nice, plus i saw some good youtube vids, i wasn't gonna try to force...

Chicken quarters this weekend! they were so good.

I dry hopped the zombie dirt IPA last week, its been 1 week. i just did as the instructions said. it looks pretty cloudy, with hop particles throughout.. and of course the stuff floating up top. Northern brewer suggested give it a twirl or whatever to get things to settle.. it kinda did. but...

Pizza on the akorn grill today. First time. Turned out good

I'm thinking i'm gonna get a kegging system. which one of these would be worth it? quite a price difference, the one from morebeer.com had plenty of good reviews...

thanks for all the input. I ended up bottling the block party amber ale at the 2 week mark as the instructions recommended. Not to much worried about it. me and the wife bottled 48 beers from the 5 gallons and there was about 6 oz left we sampled and it seems like its going in the right...

thanks for the information. so what do i do if i didn't rinse out my bottles before i threw them in a box? I figured i'd deal with that later.. so now i know. but i have about 30 beer bottles like that.. i'll be rinsing them out real good and draining going forward. any tips on the cleaning...

I got the brew. share. enjoy kit for 100 from northern brewer, i have block party amber ale 5 gallons in the fermenter right now, its bubbling pretty good in the airlock. I put the recommended tablespoon of water in the airlock. is this ok? i hear of people using vodka or star san? looking...
