Sounds Excellent. Thanks. I'm big on Porters and Stouts, so this will do fine.

Assistant Manager at a Supermarket. In charge of Soda and Beer.

Ditto. I wrap my Carboy with a towel and a navy snuggie, since I don't use the damn thing. Keeps light out, and the temp steady. I never see the yeast at work. I have to settle for air lock bubbles, and thats good enough for me.

My recent partial-mash brew called for 1/2lb of Chocolate Malt and 1/2lb of Roasted Barley. Since NorthernBrewer only sold single lb bags, I have a half of each left over. Anyone know of any good partial-mash recipes that call for these particular grains?

I've seen Mead in Elder Scrolls games, going back to Morrowind and Arena. Also other fantasy RPGs such as Fable. It's good to see the drink of choice hasn't changed. I want to brew a good Mead for my friends, we always call for a stein of Mead at the bar atleast once a night and think its...

Don't fear the foam, Rack onto it. No worries. Research yeast starters for future brews. Sanitize, sanitize, sanitize. Be patient, don't rush to bottling because you're eager to drink the brew. And when in doubt, wait it out. If it has an off taste prior to primary or secondary fermentation...

As the title asks, has anyone ever used bourbon in the airlock? I Didn't have any vodka, but I did have a bottle of bourbon. So I used a bit of it. Will it cause my brew any harm if it seeps in?

Addiction indeed. I can't tell you how many times I've gone over brewing terminology and procedure. It's enough to drive one mad! I've got a cop friend that works the linden projects at night. Says its rough turf now. Glad you got out. My gf is in SI. She's as interested in brewing as I am. I...

Greetings from Brooklyn, NY. Total newbie here, with two brews under his belt. I have been reading up and researching so much while I've been lurking through these forums. I've decided it was time I jump out of the shadows and make contributions. lol I've done extract, and am interested in one...

You took too much, man. You took too much.

Excellent thread. I only have two extract brews under my belt, but I may try this out soon since I received 5lbs of grains in my NorthernBrewer delivery that I didn't order. :-x Not sure what grain yields what characteristic, but I'll figure it out eventually.

Available in Brooklyn, ny. Had some last week.

This thread has given me all the confidence to start brewing my second batch. My first was a colossal failure, A coopers kit where I had no idea about sanitizing, pitching temps, etc. I just cooked it up and topped it off with tap water, and let it sit. Tasted like Cider. Now some 10 months...

I was first starting to research homebrewing and almost everyone I spoke to said to sign up here. It was the best thing I've ever done.

I was recently in Tampa, and was looking for a local brew to try out. What I got was "Florida Ave." This abortion had to be the worst excuse for a brew I've ever tasted. No carbonation, thin and watery, no traces of any type of ingredients, with a subtle hint of copper. At first I thought it...

Anything that starts with "Bud."

A store near me has $2 Sierra Nevada PA bombers. Best cheap beer IMO.
