That's a great idea.

I tried my IPA after a week of bottle conditioning. For just a week, it's quite drinkable. I got a "Not bad" from my sister. It still needs to clear a bit. We'll see what a few weeks will do.

That's a great deal. Best of luck with the brewing.

Clawhammer. But that might be out of your preferred price range.

Northern Brewer bought them out. Northern Brewer was acquired from InBev by a holding company named Black Street.

An Amber Ale that I thought was a Cream Ale. My notes say it was an Amber Ale. I failed to record the fermentables. Rookie mistake. 4.5 abv. It's closer to an amber ale in color.

You brew an all-grain 1.065 OG with 4 gallons to the fermenter in a 5-gallon pot? No extract at all? If so, you da man.

I second Wilser Bags. He'll custom make one to your kettle dimensions. I went with BIAB also, but back to extract during the heat of the summer. I wanted to brew indoors. My gas range in the house can hardly boil 2 gallons, so it's partial boils for me. You'll need a grain mill, a bigger kettle...

What about steeping in distilled water? Any issue with that?

I like hops, in balanced amounts. I'm not a fan of overly bitter beers. It's like eating ghost peppers daily. What's the point? I really like malty beers. Seems like IPAs are the craze nowadays. Good thing we homebrewers can whip up a batch of what we like to drink. I mainly added the hops to...

I was using distilled water for the brew. My thought process was that the extract would provide the minerals needed for the partial mash. I know I wasn't really mashing as I had no base malt in there. That was my reasoning. Straight into the kettle. My thought process is I get better...

The SG will be stabilized in a day or so. Kveik is a beast. This one will likely need to bottle condition for a few weeks at least. Maybe more. My sister is coming down for my son's graduation in 10 days. I was hoping for a drinkable beer. I do have two of my Scottish Strong Ales from last year...

I did a PLETO American Pale Ale on Saturday. First time ever doing late extract additions. 2-gallon boil of half the extract, seeped the grains in the extract held at 153 ish for 45ish minutes. Boiled for 60 min then at flameout added the other half of the extract and let it sit for 30 minutes...

I bought this beer off of the name and it being local. It's a strange taste. The taste and mouth feel suggest a dark beer. PB and Marshmallow makes for a strange brew. This is the last one of the six pack. We don't waste beer over here. When I was dating my current wife, her cat took to me the...

Good to know. I didn't check their numbers on a calculator. I'm going to do that moving forward. This batch will be a few less beers with greater ABV. A win and a loss. Haha. The Kveik is bubbling on along.

Yesterday 5 gallon American Pale Ale 2357.7+5=2362.7

I'm in.

I came back after a 5 year divorce induced break. Started off with 2.5-3 gallon all grain batches. I wanted something I could brew in the kitchen. Well I tend to brew high ABV beers and even with the smaller volume, my stove had a hard time getting a good boil. I ended up outside, which isn't...

An all grain Cream Ale from last summer. Not too light in color, but might tasty. 4.5% ABV This was my third comeback brew. And last since last year. I will change that over the weekend.
