Hey All, After being away for a long time, I'm back to play. Ordered up Northern Brewer's new brewer kit thingy w/ the Amber, and am tossing in 1 tsp cayenne, 1/2 tsp ea ground black pepper and chipotle powder @ 55min. Wish me luck for my Chipotle Pepper Amber (extract) batch!

Union: Thanks so much! You always give great help! Jeep: I'm either doing a partial boil larger batch or full boil smaller (probably the latter)

Hi All! As the title states, I am wondering if I understand BIAB correctly, so I will list out the steps as I understand them, let me know if I'm correct, missing something, or other :) Thanks everyone! 1.) Heat up ~1.25qts / lb of grain to a temp that, once grains are added, hits 152-155...

It's been 11 days since I brewed this up, and I just took a gravity reading. Inside, it looks like it still has krausen on top, kinda like a marshmallow crust consistency, gravity reading is 1.030, OG was 1.054. Stuck fermentation?

Thanks for the awesome thread! Very informative! New brewer here, so I still manage to have a couple questions >< PM and Extract + specialty grains seem very similar to me, am I missing something? When I brew with specialty, i put my grains in a bag and hold temp @ 155 for 30-45 minutes, then...

Hi Everyone, Fairly new extract + steeping grains stovetop brewer here (6 batches). I have a fear I may be brewing wrong! Or at least incorrectly (because at the end of the day [fermentation + bottling period], I still have beer). Here's how I brew: 1.) Heat up ~2.75 gallons to 155, put...

Thanks Justin! I'm super excited about it! From what I understand, the Irish Moss helps clear the beer.

Hi all! Love this thread, and am eager to try my hand at the shorter brew time. I am planning a 3gallon boil size, 5 gallon batch, 30 minute brew time. What do you guys think of this? Did I try to put too much in one recipe? Ingredients: ------------ Amt Name...

Thanks for the response! I didn't know Amber LME had crystal in it >< Should have figured :D

Hi everyone! I am fairly new to brewing, I only have about 5 batches under my belt. So far, I have used recipes from my LHBS, and one I found online. My last brew I modified the scotch ale recipe from my LHBS a little, and I'm eagerly awaiting bottling (gravity samples tasted excellent!)...
