So this is actually happening for me too, right now. I brewed this Oktoberfest recipe 2 weeks ago. I accidentally smacked the Wyeast 3068 instead of the recommended. It spent 24 hours at 68 deg and exploded from my 6.5 gal carboy. Then I dropped it to 48 for a day and it exploded again. It's...

If that last buyer falls through for the chiller, how much to ship to 53228?

Sooo I'm still a noob and have a question about calculating the estimated FG for a batch. I buy my extract kits from Northern Brewer but none of the recipes state a target FG. My first few batches have been real low FG (around 1.010) so I figured that was good enough. My last batch stopped at...

I'm still new to brew but I know adding oxygen after fermentation has begun is not good for the beer. Could you post some pics of this homemade kit? I'm just curious to see the setup...

Thanks for the affirmation. The recipe called for 2/3C corn sugar or 5/8C table sugar. I had 1/3C corn sugar left so I used 5/16C table sugar to finish it. I dissolved them together in the water and it's cooling as I type. I wasn't sure if the sugars worked in different ways and would do...

Please help, quick!! I'm about to bottle a batch of surly cynic and just realized I only have half the amount of corn sugar needed. Can I just sub half the amount of table sugar recommended to make up for it? Or should I just use all table sugar? LHBS is closed and I have no other alternatives...

Thanks for all the input guys. It seems to be fermenting pretty aggressively. When I got home from work that day, it already had a thick Krausen forming. Two days later now and its still going strong. P.S. I love IPA too and this one is very promising!!! I can't wait!!! Guess its a good...

So I brewed Northern Brewer's 115th Dream Hopbursted IPA Extract Kit last night for my 5th batch and had a couple questions related to the process. Here's the recipe for reference. 1.) I forgot to add the 2 lbs Corn sugar as a late addition (0 min). I put the airlock on the primary around 2am...

Just wanted to say hi to all my newfound, fellow homebrewers out there! I'm Erick from Milwaukee; got a basic starter kit from the LHBS as a Christmas gift and haven't looked back! My first batch was a Cooper's Euro Lager extract kit. It came out good, except for the fact that I didn't...

Count me in!!
