I'm thinking about racking the beer into the second fermenter and running it through pine or spruce like a randalizer. Thanks for the input!

Has anyone added pine needles into the fermenter to make a Christmas ale extra Christmassy?

Anybody? Do I start with a brown ale then add spices?

I need just a basic recipe for a Christmas ale. Any ideas?

I think its necessay to drink beer while you brew if you want it to come out good.

+1 on the wine thief

I agree. There is no such thing as too much hop aroma.

Home depot sells buckets for 5$ you could use that to make a new one

Hey I was thinking about making a belgian style amber ale. Using a high lovibond crystal malt and belgian style yeast. Im basically looking to make a beer that tastes like bananas and caramel. Any suggestions?

Congrats brewmaster! Keep up the good work :)

Close enough lol

I also made a chocolate milk stout a while back and it had a good flavor but a dry/ bitter aftertaste that wasnt very pleasant. I was thinking diacetly or because I bottled waaaaaay to early. Any thoughts?

....22 in one sitting. Im glad your still alive :) I dont like guinness here but I went to the brewery in dublin and it was completely different. 100 times better than what we have

Good work. Now I will be expecting to see one of your beers in my mailbox pretty soon? Lol

Rogue from portland. Voodoo doughnut maple bacon ale is pretty experimental

You can get away with transferring to a secondary after 3-4 days sometimes but its definitely not ideal. I would leave in primary for 7-10days depending on the beer

You can boil on a stovetop and add water and its not a problem at all (i do it all the time) but if I had a choice I would use a propane burner. Keep in mind with an outdoor propane burner your brewing days can be limited by the weather (unless you have a tent)

To make things easier I would just go with a stainless steel pot instead of aluminum. Also dont clean your beer equipment with soap

It wasnt supposed to be snarky. I was actually more impressed that its your 1st brew and your going for a slightly more ambitious style of beer. I still dont have the necessay equipment to lager. Good luck

9 weeks is really unnecessary. Most people shoot for 6
