That should work yes.

Could be the temperature in your basement is on the colder side and the bottles just need longer to carbonate? Typically I give 2-3 weeks before opening a bottle to make sure it ready.

Green Goatee Brewing - I've fooled around a bit with different looking fonts of a G with a beard made of hops, but haven't settled on anything I'm thrilled with. Was thinking maybe Black, white, green, possibly gray? Also a tough looking dog with a green beard could be cool. Have fun with...

Correct, your gravity will be higher post boil due to boil off. Hang in there, brew days don't always go exactly as planned, but you always learn something and get better for it. Congrats on your first brew!

Christmas gift from my wife, purchased from Northern Brewer since they were running a promo that with $120 purchase you got an additional recipe kit free

Good advice, I'll have to look how much is in there, but subtleties can go a long way, and be more pleasant than a blast of spices. Maybe use 1/2 packet and see what we get.

I've got a packet of pumpkin spice left over from a box of random stuff given to my brew buddy by a friend who no longer brews. We are looking to toss that into either a porter or stout kit. Anyone with experience on this recomend one over the other? Thanks J.

Depending when it is I may be interrested, however having 4 young kids my schedule is pretty tough sometimes. Brew on Buckeyes!

I made my first starter with my most recent brew, couldn't believe how easy it was. I picked up a 1 gallon carboy at a local wine shop for about $5 and swirled it frequently. I will probably purchase a stir plate eventually, but for now I will continue the swirl method as there are other...

I've been using the SP10 with no complaints. Yes it can be loud, but I don't personally find that to be a problem. I'm still able to have conversation with my brewing buddies without trouble. Nice burner for the money, heated up nicely even in the winter time.

Thanks guys. I like the idea of the side by side to get a feel for each.

Planning a Belgian Dubbel for my next brew day and wondered if anyone has used both of these strains, and could recommend one over the other. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks

Wow, I guess my brew day adventure from the past weekend was a piece of cake having read some of your stories. Started with a boil over in the driveway, then took the finished wort inside to chill in the kitchen. Well apparently before leaving the room for a few minutes. I failed to secure...

I recently use Wyeast 1728 in a brown ale and it turned out a great beer.

I like using an immersion chiller while the kettle sits in an ice bath. The combination chills quite effectively.

Thanks for the response! From checking out the Briess website it appears their Munich malt is a 50-50 blend, so that would put the Munich at 25% if I used that and the light dme. Would you still want to mainly use milder hops?

So my brew buddy recently got a couple ingredient from a friend that no longer brews beer, one of which is a Pumpkin Spice Ale. Seeing as its getting to be spring time, we are thinking of not using the spices, and making this kit into a Pale Ale. There is 3.3# light dme, and 3# munich lme in...
