Western Jersey here. May as well be in PA... except apparently I prefer to pay higher taxes.:cross:

Great news! Truly better experience than he could have with the TV or Video games. It teaches him patience and attention to detail, and in the end he will have something to be proud of... good for the both of you!

2.25 cups of sugar is approximately 1 lb (for granulated). Great site here :mug:

Is there any advantage/disadvantage to green bottles vs. brown ones? Have any of you used clear bottles before? I have a stash of St. Pauli girl bottles I stole from a buddies house (his taste in beer is questionable, sorry John) and was just wondering if bottling in green will pose any...

Yeah, I would open one at 2 weeks and see where you are at... If it is not fully carbonated, at least you get to try one! I like to open one at one week just for kicks. I usually get a little pop, but mainly a flat beer. It is basically an excuse for me to try one.

I second that...

I have a couple at home... I will have to get back to you after work tonight... I guess I should be working now. Any particular brand you are looking for?

Yeah, I know what RDWHAHB means... I also know what EAC means. :cross: Just messin with ya...

I had Krasean come throught the airlock last night. I am not sure how long it was happening. What sort of negative effects can I expect from the brew?

I put together a Belgian Dubbel last Friday and it has been bubbling away like crazy up until yeasterday. It slowed significantly, which seems about right as the fourth day is usually peak yeast population, but I just wanted to know if I should send it over to the secondary today or wait until...

Thanks.........

Are the labels most of you make made and printed at home? If so, what size label is it and what kind of paper/printer? I want to make my own... seems like a lot of fun.

Talk about have your cake and eat it too...

Thanks all, for the advice and links. I truly appreciate it. I have to say I have learned a lot already on this forum. Everyone has been very nice and friendly.

You will when you read the thread. I was laughing out loud, and I am at work!

Here is the recipe: 6lb Light LME 30 min boil 2.75lb Light DME 60 min boil 1lb Candy Sug. .30 Belgian Aromatic 30min@150 .30 German Vienna 30min@150 1.75oz Mount Hood Hops 60min boil 1 oz Cascade hope 10min boil 1tsp Ground Coriander

I would definitely like to know the conversion. Here are the hop additions: 1.75oz Mount Hood - 60 mins 1 0z Cascade - 10 mins

I found a recipe I would like to try, but the boil volume is 6 gal. I do not have a pot to boil 6 gal. and prefer not to, so is it a big deal if I do a 3 gal boil instead and add the needed extra water to the primary?

thanks everyone! I feel much better. I guess I had a little day after anxiety. This is only my third brew and my first time using DME so I was a little concerned. It is fermenting away today at a high pace.

So, I did a Belgian Dubbel last night and it wasn't clear on when to add the DME. The kit came with priming sugar as well so I assume that is for bottling. There was LME and DME in the kit, so I added the DME at the same time as the LME. I hope I didn't screw it up... I hope the DME wasn't...
