Sure it wasn't a brown ale?

Well I added the sugar water after I had racked about 2 inches into the bottling bucket. I assumed the continued racking was gonna mix the sugar for me in there, that may be my problem. I have opened most of the bottles by now but started drinking them after about 2 weeks. I haven't noticed...

I'm trying to figure out if I did something wrong. I brewed the Morebeer American Ale as my first brew 9 weeks ago today. Fermented for 2 weeks at 65deg with WLP001 yeast. It had an OG of 1.046 and FG of 1.010. I used 4 oz of corn sugar as my bottling sugar for about 4.5 gallons. I bottle...

I used WLP001 (white labs California ale yeast) without a starter, which according to what I have read is not enough yeast. I didn't even shake the vial before adding it to the fermenter as it says I am supposed to do. I pretty much did everything wrong on this brew and it still turned out...

I did 3 weeks total in the primary before bottling, and dry hopped the last week. My OG was low (1.069, supposed to be 1.076-80), but it might have had to do with how I took the reading. I used the wine thief to take the sample from the boil kettle instead the fermenter. I was thinking the wort...

I have 2 Morebeer IPA recipes. Rogue's I2PA 12lbs LME 1oz Magnum 60min 1oz Cascade 30min 1oz Willamette 15min 1oz Amarillo S05 or WLP001 Drake's IPA 9lbs. LME .5lb Light DME 1.25lbs Crystal 15L 1lb Crystal 40L 1oz Cascade 70min 1oz Cascade 55min .5oz Magnum 0min 1oz...

I did the Rogue I2PA as my first ever homebrew and am just enjoying them now. I think it's really good but it could be a little hoppier. But that's probably has to do more with my technique than with the kit. I tied the the hop bags tight around the hops as opposed to tying the bags at the top...

Dump your Stone bottles in a double strength solution of star san for a day, the paint comes right off. I use steel wool on them after they have soaked but it's not really even necessary, they would come off with a sponge.

I agree the Firestone labels are tough, but ever try and get one of these off? Biggest pain in the ass ever.

Go to the city beer store. It's a weird little spot that's like a retail beer store but you can drink there. Huge selection of micros and imports, as well as a handful of craft brews on tap. Cool spot. http://www.citybeerstore.com/

Morebeer has a catalog, I'm looking at one right now.

I like the method of using the large nylon bag in the bottling bucket. I might have to go out to lowes and by a paint strainer.

I've read a lot of people seem to throw the pellet hops right into the carboy, but I'm not sure if I need to strain the wort when racking into my bottling bucket. If I do need to strain the wort, what is the best way?

Thanks for the replies, not positive what my OG was off the top of my head, it's written down at home. I remember it was less that what it was supposed to be. I think the expected OG was like 1.075-1.080 and I had like 1.067 at 75deg which I think means like 1.069 corrected. I like the idea of...

yeah mine fermented, I had about an inch of krausen but it wasn't blowing out the top of the carboy or anything. good luck with your as well.

I brewed my first 2 batches the weekend before last, the American Ale and Rogue I2PA from MoreBeer. They gave me a vial of white labs California yeast for each batch. Since I started reading this forum I've heard you need to use starters for liquid yeast with high gravity beers. I'm worried...
