A Pictoral how to brew an extract kit.

[skitter]

If I remember correctly I did 3 weeks in the fermenter, 3 weeks in bottles and a few days in the fridge.

Thanks!

Great video and pictorial.

I have been only waiting 14 days to drink by homebrew wheat spice ales, and have been getting off-flavors. Bitter and carbonic acid tastes. Watching you wait for over 30 days to condition is making me think that I was just not waiting long enough.

I'm going to wait a full month this time and see what happens.

I have a question. Is brewing with lme any different then brewing with dme?

Nope...Just need to be more careful when you pour in the LME to make sure it mixes well and doesn't turn to 'caramel' at the bottom of the kettle..Stir it like crazy!

What he said. Also LME can go bad quicker than DME, but this is only a problem if you're dealing with seriously old LME. I preferred DME slightly when I used to brew extract, but I would go with whatever is easier for you or cheaper.
