Ok, Brew day went ok but made a few mistakes. Still had a OG of 1.74. Pitched with two vials of 001 yeast. Kept in primary for close to three weeks and put into secondary. Added the dry hops for about 7 days. When I went to bottle I saw large white clumps floating in beer and by the hop...

Last question sorry. Did you boil the first hop addition by itself for thirty min before adding the extract Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

And just a few other questions. Did you steep the grains in the full 7 gallons or not. Also did you add all the extract at the 60 min mark. Hop bags or no? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Did you do a full or partial boil?

I let it ferment in the primary for a good two weeks and put into secondary again for a good two and half weeks. It feremented strong too and almost needed a blowoff tube for it. Like I said I made some mistakes so I'm not shocked..just hoped that with the double batch of yeast it would have...

Well I gave this a try from NB kit. Not my best brew day. Ran out of propane with about 10 min left in the boil after I just added more extract in at the 15 min mark. Kept it covered to try to keep heat in. Then added water first to the fermenter which I never do and then realized I started...

Was wondering if anyone else has done a full boil for this. If so did you still add extract late into the boil or all at the 60min mark..any help would be appreciated. Looking to boil this tomorrow.

I have a gift card on amazon..so this is what I can afford. Also I usually pour my wort into a funnel and use a strainer to help catch some of the hop sludge into the primary. Will the ball valve help inthis. CP

Looking at getting an 8 gallon kettle for more full boils. Is 8 gallon large enough for a full extract boil. Also this kettle comes with thermometer and ball valve. What size tubing for ball valve and do I need a false bottom for the kettle? cp

Here is my newest based on a Rye IPA that is in the secondary now.

Will two smackpacks of Denny's favorite be ok. I ordered two with the extract kit as I don't have a yeast starter. NB said it would be good to do that..just checking here as well. Can't wait to give this a try..

Denny, I really want to order the extract from Northern Brewer for this as it looks really good. Question is I don't have a yeast starter so will the SmackPack still be enough for this if I follow the directions..or two smack packs would be better.. JJ

Here is my new one for a black ipa that I just brewed

Thanks for the compliment on the label

ThAnk you very much.

Just brewed this the other night and is bubbling away right now. Looks good and I can't wait to stick these labels on it and give it a try.

Wow this fermented quick..is that common for this. I used 1056 and it was a full smack pack. Started bubbling about two hours later, had to put in a blowoff tube and little over 24 hours and still bubbling..

I just brewed this yesterday using the extract recipe. Had to substitue one hop due my LHBS not having it. Used Wyeast Golden Ale and it was fermenting just a few hours after putting in the yeast. Had to put a blow off tube on this morning. Going away so this will be sitting in the primary...

You can get a free version of photoshop cs2 legally through adobe. Just google it.

I was wondering if you could let me know what your boil size was as well. I am looking to do this real soon and didn't know if you did a full boil or smaller. JJ
