i did a 2 1/2 gallon boil with 9lbs of extract about 4 oz of continuous hops, 4oz of secondary dry hops and bottled for about a month so far and tastes amazing! My wort was toxic sludge green and now pours a beautiful amber hue. great recipe. I will be making again fo sho!

sounds to me like it just gets better and better as I read on. How would you do this in extract?

I just brewed the extract recipe today on my stove top. I live in Vegas so its way to hot out to consider brewing out doors right now. My question is I started with a 2.5 gallon boil but lost about a good .5 gallon due to evaporation so the end result was a delicious smelling green wort! Even...

^^^Well I just learned something. This threads already paying off!!!

This is just a simple learning thread intended for quick tips one may not have thought of. I currently have 15 gallons under my belt and have 5 gallons of blueberry cinnamon wit happily fermenting in the bathroom. Now I know not to dry hop without a cheese cloth bag (Pale Ale that is...

good to know because there was a crap load of em. I ended up leaving about a cup and a 1/2 of wort and sediment at the bottom of the kettle. there was a few pieces of glass and a lot of those little balls. im pretty confident after the secondary and the bottling bucket it will be ok.

exactly my circumstances right now. I cursed that thermometer out real good!!!

It is a red one. its actually less than a 1/4 inch. more like a 1/8 or less. I gently skimmed the bottom but could find no glass only small bits of the little black balls. charcoal maybe? Im guessing if I whirlpool the crap out of it and rack to secondary and rack to bottling bucket at the...

FML about half way through the boil I found my therm floating sideways. weird thought I. So I picked it up to look at it and noticed about a 1/4 inch on the bottom has broke off. Im guessing there is no salvaging this one then right?

Yeesh you want to talk about to expensive and overrated look at how Russian river is selling pliny the younger. I've never had it and probably wont for all those shenanigans but geez give me a break.

made my first batch on the 5th of this month. made a hef kit from homebrewerycom. I did a full 5 gallon boil with DME. my humble home stove top couldnt do a full on raging boil so i did the best i could. tonight i popped open the first bomber. one week after bottling and the bomber was only half...

i forgot... I highly reccomend you get off strip for a taste of local brews like big dogs or chicagos but if you absolutely can not get off the strip Pour 24 at NYNY really tries hard to put together a decent selection. keep in mind they have the strong arm of bud controlling some of the taps...

i live in vegas and trust me dude sin city brewing co is not worth checking out. sahara hotel - theres a little dinky ass bar right by the nascar cafe that tries to get some decent stuff on tap at good prices. Big Dogs- this joint is my hangout. make sure you go to the one on Rancho and...

do they bottle it? and where can i find the bottles and/ or brewery? thanks

dogfish head has some good beers. there IPA line is especially good. however i find they have just as many bad beers that are overrated and not worth the price tag. Raison and ImmortALE come to mind. they are worth trying once in a while but for IPAs my money is going to good ol Stone ruination...

only done one batch so far but it was slightly stoopid, expendables, dirty heads and sublime. went realy smooth and most important FUN.

sounds good, thanks for the responses. i'll probably just pick up an extra carboy then so as not to keep my only one occupied for a length of time.

didnt find a sticky and a search returned no results can i use certain beer brewing products like the auto siphon, hydrometer and bottler or does everything really need to be changed out? i understand the fermenters and the carboys but for something that the final product is passing through...
