Mine only took a little under 4 weeks to get down to the 1.000 level before I racked it into a secondary. It fermented the first week in the 75-78ish range and at the end of the first week when fermentation had slowed, I added the extra sugar and it kicked back up for about another week. The...

Well, after about 3 weeks in primary, I popped the lid and took a sample. I guess I had to see it to believe it, I stared at my hydrometer for a few seconds, pulled it out, made sure it was clean, and spun it around. Each time the result was the same 1.000. I even double checked with my...

I have to agree, I've placed a few orders with them myself and they've always been extremely fast with deliveries. Granted I'm only one state over from them, but the fact that they get the order together and sitting on my doorstep the next day is impressive for me.

Yeah, I usually do the blow off tube right at the start, but since I started this late after work, it was a bit late by the time I finished and I just shoved an airlock on it. I'll be swapping it out when I get home to be safe if it last that long, but I've got it in a spare 7.8g bucket I had...

Brewed this up last night, also my first partial mash so it was a good learning experience. Only change I made (mainly because I wasn't paying attention) was I dumped a whole ounce of Saaz for the 10 minute addition, woops. For my first partial, I was pretty happy, my OG was close, but a little...

Most I've spent is about $17 for a 4 pack of St. Bernardus Tripel which was well worth it and I'd do it again if my local store would ever restock them. They have kind of a rotating inventory, so it's good in that I get to try new stuff every week, but bad when I find one I really like and they...

This will probably be my next brew. I had the pleasure of trying St. Bernardus Tripel this weekend which really turned me on to the style. From what I've read, that beer has a pretty fast turn around for the style, which is another thing that made this recipe stand out to me.

Very nice. Sign me up!

Thanks for the replies, My original intention was to give it two weeks before bottling, so since it taste good, and if the gravity stays the same this Saturday, its off to the bottles and time to make a new batch. I know I could get better beer if I let it sit longer, but being my first, I'm...

First off, I want to say this site has been a huge help. I've lurked here for years until things finally line up and I was able to order my starter gear and the amount of information I've gotten has been invaluable. I brewed my first batch 11 days ago, and made a few mistakes, (to many brews...
