Whoops...I thought it was LA Calf sorry.

Try this California HomeBrew club. http://www.maltosefalcons.com/other/ They can probably help you find a local source that isn't across the country like Midwest and Northern.

No one in this thread has said anything about the 1-2-3 rule as a guide line. One week in the primary, two weeks in the secondary, and three weeks in the bottle.

I buy my kits at Midwest mainly because they are close to home. I think they have fresh product and have very clear instructions. The staff there is also helpful if you have any questions. I just brewed one of their kits last night.

I moved it back to the cool area. I'll let it do it's thing. Did I mess it up by moving it into the warmer area? or will it be OK? Thanks for the help!

I have my first batch of Octoberfest Lager in the primary. This is a brew kit from Midwest. I brewed it 12 days ago and have had it in a 52 deg area. It has been bubbling the whole time. On the 10th day I moved it to a 65 deg. area for a diacetyl rest and it has been there 2 days. It is still...

With the boiling bags you can tie it off so it doesn't touch the bottom. I'm not to sure about using a panty hose for a boiling bag. I think I would opt for cheese cloth before that.

I'm sold on the nylon boiling bags from Midwest. They really hold back the small particules. They cost $4.75 but you can use them over and over. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdByID.aspx?ProdID=4684

Welcome bud! Hopefully you will get as much as I have from this forum. I see that you don't have any responses about your screen name.

Thanks Brewt001 and Cregar. I think it would be interesting to brew a small batch.

Been there! I was looking for more details I guess.

Does anyone have a recipe for Midas Touch Golden Elixir brewed 9000 years ago. I'm very curious about this brew.

I Googled home brewing!

It doesn't sound like has started to ferment yet. I'm a new brewer myself but mine started bubbling like crazy within 24 hours. I have learned that the temp of the wort must be lower than 80 deg. before you pitch it and should be kept warm enough to make the yeast ferment.

From what I hear I should just let it hang! Thanks

I guess that maybe it doesn't matter then. Thanks homebrewer 99

Is it OK to squeeze the liquid out of the hop bag after the boil? The two batches that I boiled I just took it out and just let it drain. Am I losing anything?

The first batch we brewed we used a freezer bag full of water placed in a bread pan to contain it before we put it in the freezer. We probably should have boiled the water first but it worked great in our 2 gallon boil. Yesterday we cooled our second batch of wort by filling the sink with snow...

I can't wait that long for a cold one!
