Did this exact same thing two nights ago, except that I was drinking a Graff and then Vanilla Caramel Cream Ale. Makes taxes a little better, plus I saw that my refund is gonna allow me to buy some more equipment. Holler.

I'm bottling two today, actually. This thread has not inspired me...

There is nothing that's not entirely awesome about that thing. We of the non-engineering world salute you, my friend.

That was the most knowledgeable post by a first time brewer I've ever read on these forums. Also, that was the most stream-of-consciousness post I've read on these forums. Congrats on both accounts as well as your new beer. :)

Yo, So I've been wanting to move to AG with a few batches now under my belt. At this time, my equipment is two 5 gallon pots and a 3 gallon pot. I read DB's Stovetop thread a few times and also looked at his multiple pot boil that he did for his RIS. My questions, I guess, are whether...

Just bottled 5 of Vanilla Caramel Cream Ale. 5798 + 5 = 5803

Having never tasted the Savanna, the way you described it fits perfectly with Graff. It is certainly clean and has an apple taste. It is fairly dry, but more reminiscent of beer than Apfelwein seems to be. The worst that happens is that you get Graff and are a bit off from Savanna. You will...

As if working on this paper isn't bad enough, looking through this thread just makes me realize how much I want a dog but can't have one due to living in an apartment... Thanks y'all.

#35 Receiving conflicting instructions about proper methodology for citations in the biggest assignment of the year, which leads to... #36 Working on the biggest assignment of the year past midnight, which wouldn't be too bad, but I'd much rather be watching a movie and drinking one of my...

Someone with more experience may correct me, because I don't have a multi-regulator setup; that being said, I gather that people put multiple regulators because some styles call for different serving PSIs. That way, they can serve a Cream Ale with higher carbonation than, say, an IPA. And they...

I know it's been said before, but this stuff is amazing. I essentially followed the basic recipe using store brand juice. It's only been bottled about a week at this point, but it's pretty well-carbed and already has some apple flavor. If the common wisdom is true and more apple flavor will...

I like the graphics. It took me a few seconds to realize that "Red Stag Ale" was written there, and the title sorta blends in, too. Maybe make the text a bit more prevalent? Add a drop shadow or something of that nature to make it pop a bit more.

Thanks for the feedback. Here's the updated attempt, using a horseshoe style and older revolvers.

Hey guys, This is the first attempt I've made at making a label. This is the black and white version. As I'm not very creative, any input would be more than welcome.

5122 + 5 of Graff and 5 of Caramel Cream Ale = 5132

Hoegaarden for me. I couldn't believe beer could have that much flavor.

Right, when I said adding to primary, I meant waiting for fermentation to finish and then adding the fruit, without transferring beer into the secondary. Sounds like there's no real reason to use the secondary then? Just wait until fermentation's over?

So, I've been racking my brain and trying to see if I could figure this out and also didn't see any threads specifically about it. Racking onto fruit in a secondary seems to be the standard, but I don't see why not just put the fruit into the primary. Is there any reason for the standard...

Just kidding! I wanted to say how amazing these forums are. I have my first batch in the fermenter right now bubbling happily away and it would have taken me a lot longer and caused me much more stress without these forums. Keep up the good work.
