Thanks Rev!! Made a Bookmark to it. Have a nice day! Oh, GO PATS!! LOL

My first batch is carbonating at 60F in the basement due to space limitations upstairs. It seems to be working fine. It is producing a good head and also fine bubbles rising from bottom of glass. Question: With this cooler temp how will the recommended times to age in bottle be affected...

Thanks!

Any input on this one?? Was also checking this out.

Tasted my first batch yesterday, A True Brew Pale Ale kit. Tastes alot like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale but not as bitter. I was impressed as I am sure you will be. Enjoy! Cheers! :mug:

I cracked open the first bottle of my first batch (5 days in bottles) while brewing my second batch!! I followed the kit directions to a T and sanitized/sanitized!! Had many concerns about how the first batch would taste. It tastes great even this early!! Go for the 2nd batch!! As many have...

Well so far real good! Building the pipeline! Even though my first batch (True Brew Pale Ale) has been in bottles only 5 days decided to break one open anyway!. Had to have a homebrew while brewing, right? WOW am I impressed!! If it tastes this good now I can just imagine how good it will be in...

Yes!! Bought the next kit on Friday. Another True Brew kit "Continental Light" Will probably brew it tonight. Like you said, "Start a pipeline" Cheers!!

Looks Nice! I will be pouring a glass next week at the 1 week mark. (Very first batch also) Bottles at 60-62F in the basement. Carbonation seems to be developing fine. I brewed a True Brew Pale Ale kit. Enjoy! Cheers!!

This is a True Brew Pale Ale kit. First 2 weeks in fermenter at room temp and last 2 weeks in 60F basement. Bottled and left in basement 60-62F. Was concerned that this might be a bit cool for carbonation to start so after 4 days I just had to check. Slowly opened the bottle and there was a...

Great Advice!!! Better get that next kit ordered.....

Thanks BrewBoy! Directions state to let it condition for up to 4 weeks after bottling. Boy this waiting is not the addictive part of the hobby is it!!

Well, after 4 weeks I decided to prime/bottle. Here is a short list of things that I have wondered about. 1) The odor from the fermenter was the same as when I cooked it. 2) There were many "Floaties" which looked like yeast. 3) Kit was a True Brew All Malt Pale Ale. Still quite cloudy...

Thanks Rev!! Great info, should have spent more time "Searching" and less time worrying!

I guess being new at this , I would define "ruined" as foul smell/taste. Flavor being far from what it is supposed to be.

The instuctions say "Ale Yeast" Packet has been thrown out. Basement is at 60F so did not want to use oil to heat the area. Put fermenter on top of fridge. Did I ruin the batch?? (Temp too high?) Hope not! Thanks!

Ingredient Kit- All Malt Pale Ale by True Brew Temp around 70F *Pitched the yeast Friday night around 10 PM. *Sat morning 6 ish the airlock was very active 1-2 "Burps" per second. *Sat afternoon-evening all activity stopped. *Checked again Sun morning still no activity. Opened fermenter...

Thanks for the reply! Yes I will use kits as a stepping stone as you said. Get procedures down pat etc. Years ago I had a chance to try some Bass Ale. Very good! Did some Geneology work and found that on my Dad's side my ancestors (Berry) came from England! Sure would like to visit some day...

:ban: Finished up late last night. Did get a few comments about the odor....Oh well. It is a True Brew All Malt Pale Ale. Had a "few" Sierra Nevada Pale Ales while brewing! Checked on the activity the AM and airlock was burping every second so quite active so far. Did not do SG tests! Next...

:) For my first post I will join in here!! I was given 2 of these Tuff Tanks shortly after deciding to Home Brew. Not sure of the capacity yet. Hopefully 6 gal or more. Bought a True Brew Pale Ale ingredient kit and will give it a whirl. Will let you know how these work out. A weak...
