Is this kit ok?
It's an "American Amber" kit. Made by "Brewers Best". Kit and recipe kit
LoL!! Well I'm gonna go ahead and brew it and hope it turn out all right. Next brew on the list is the "American Light.". I hear that one is really great
Well you're gonna have to add at least some of the extract at the beginning, for hop utilization.
LoL!!! Excuse the language but, hell yes! Ur probably right. Gonna love every horrible taste of my first brew. And, u said it best.. Cause I brewed it LoL
That is true, but the brewers best kits have steeping grains that help.
That's the spirit man! Jump in and have fun. Read on your other post about subbing yeast that your kit came with Nottingham. That's a good all around dry yeast, so you'll be fine with that. You may be suprised how well your first batch turns out. I was. If you can be patient try to leave your ber in the fermentor 3 weeks before bottting and another 2-3 weeks in the bottle before drinking. Tough to resist, but it'll be better if you don't rush it.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out
bullinachinashop said:First of all, if you're going to re-hydrate the yeast, you should do so in an sanitary enviroment with sanitized water. The yeast should only re-hydrate in water and for about 30 minutes. If it will be longer than that then you should give the yeast a small amout of wort, not sugar. You also only need about 2 ounces of water.
You can do this by starting with a sanitized coffee cup filled about 1/3 of the way with tap water. Then put it into a microwave and bring it to a boil. pull it out and cover it with some saran wrap or foil and let it rest untill it comes down in temp to about 100 degrees. then it's ready to sprikle in the dry yeast. This should happen about 30 minutes before you're ready to pitch into your wort. If you rehydrate and it takes longer getting ready to pitch, simply take a teaspoon of the wort and add it to the offee cup. It's really that simple.
