hehe...well we did brew it together..might as well eh? I am in Midwood...sort of central Brooklyn i'd say.

well me and my gf of 5 years broke it off unfortunately right after we brewed our first beer together. times are tough and i need to get my **** straight together...but this isnt the right forum for that :) her birthday just passed and i decided to make her a little gift, since she didnt get...

au contraire, was very carbed ! i was surprised...you can tell from the little CO2 bubbles..

After 3 weeks in primary fermentation and 1 week in a bottle, and a TON of newbie mistakes that you can find in the beginners forum. Here is mine, the recipe was Northern Brewer Saison. It smells like a saison and taste almost like a blonde. Will let it sit in bottles for another 2 weeks.

you should see him when he sniffs alcohol...hits him like a ton of bricks :drunk:

heheh I know...like i said to my friend...at least i'll have a *true* farmhouse ale..hehehe :ban:

I love you guys !! Thanks so much for convincing me to keep bottling it. I just tried a bottle...and well..it tasted delicious.. a bit light in body, but it carbed up real nice...even after just 1 week. smells like a saison, but taste more like a blonde. here are a few pics.

i just want to make sure it doesn't taste infected. I've tasted the hydro samples, so I know what its suppose to taste like when its green. I am also doing this because i want to taste it every week for 3 weeks to see how it progresses, so I know for myself how beer works. but thanks for...

next time smoke your pot after you're done brewing ;) but seriously, don't feel bad..I've done some stupid **** too that in hindsight could've been avoided. just cool your wort in the kettle you boiled it in and then transfer it to your fermenter.

well..today is exactly 1 week from bottling. I put a bottle in the fridge last night and will come to drinking it later tonight. The bottles look very VERY hazy and it looks like condensation inside where the air space is.. hopefully its not infected....wish me luck.

alright..when I get home i'll measure my space and let you know...62w is pretty wide man..shucks

wow...200$ i would take this in a heartbeat, but its ****ing huge and I live in an apt...DAMMIT !!! edit: can you give me the width of this monster?

is there a way to favorite this thread?

thanks for all the explanations and support guys. I did continue to bottle and i bottled 37 bottles...we'll see how they turn out

thanks for that, that's a really interesting piece of information.

I brewed a Saison. Its a very light beer (naturally Saison's are light). OG 1.040 - FG 1.006 and not strong on the hop side, especially since I did a partial-boil and topped off with too much water (i think). This was my first brew and just another addition to the list of newbie mistakes...

i didnt wait..when you pour the beer it pushes the bubbles out and they usually pop when they come out...just shake the majority of star san out of the bottle and then fill... at least thats how i did it...(but i also spilled 3 week old tap water into my brew (i should just add that to my...

just so you know you're not alone :drunk:

I didnt strain it as well. The bugs don't worry me, its the nasty stale tap water that is giving me the creepers.

Well as a newb myself and going through my first brew I could probably answer most of your questions..through noob eyes :) 1. Probably should start with a partial-boil. It's easier to control 2.5gal rather than 5gal especially since it wont even fit in your kettle (considering the boil-overs...
