I noticed that, I was actually asking for the extract version or how to convert it to extract

Can someone help me with the extract version of this for this? Pilsen extract? And 2lb of specialty grains for the munich wheat DME? or would I want to do a wheat extract?

If your water is as bad as claim, then you have nowhere to go but up...right? Try buying some water at one of those water stores or get some from a friends house with a reverse osmosis unit and see if you notice a difference.

Depending on the gravity, wait at least 1-3 weeks. Let it carbonate and condition a little. You only get about 2 cases enjoy them when they are at their best

Steam Ales usually use San Francisco Lager (the White Labs yeast name for it). It's a strain that works great between 60 and 66 degrees I am making one right now in my bathtub :)

I would just set the beer aside for a few months. With an abv that high, the yeast have to work a lot harder and it's often takes MONTHS for the beers to completely carbonate.

I feel the same way except I lke "How to Brew" by John Palmer. I think it's the easiest most straightforward book. I re-read it before each brew session

4oz = 3/4 of a cup

I am lagering for the first time too Say my average ale in done in 3-5 days, should I figure 5-7 for a CA Common style( I am using San Francisco Lager yeast)

The Munich yeast is going to want to ferment below 55 degrees.

Fermentation temps are the differences between ale and lager yeasts. Lager yeast will also make a beer taste more clean and crisp where ale yeasts will make the beer taste sweeter and more fruity. A Steam ale? I thought a steam beer was a California Common that uses a higher temp...

Thank you both So be sure to use hops bags.... anything else?

I am sure I have to use more than pellet, but how much more? Any do I do anything else differently?

plastic buckets are way way easier to clean

you are better off getting 6 or 7 red party cups, sanitizing them, and freezing boiled water (covered by Saran wrap) do this the day before After you take them out of the freezer they will make a cracking sound when they are ready to be taken out from the plastic cup. 6 or 7 chunks of this...
