Mine should be at my house waiting for me! The hardest thing will be deciding where to put these. You would think after a couple of months waiting I would have that dialed in.... nope.

More Beer sent my here it comes email! Anyone else get their new hops to plant?

I have an update... Beer only came down to 1.018 so I went ahead and bottled it on Christmas. Holy cow this IS a do over beer for me. Best beer I've made so far. Nice malt forward flavor with a nice hop balance on the end so it doesn't come across as too sweet. Thank all for your...

I had to do my last batch with the lid partially on.... not to keep the evap under control but to keep junk from dripping back into my wort. My house exhaust was not strong enough to handle the boil off and my vent began dripping like rain. I'm about to try that beer this weekend.

Holy Cow!, This cider is REALLY nice! I still have 7 bottles that I'm hangin on to for another year or so. The current feedback is: Wow, you made this... do you have any more?

I just brought a fermonster inside and put a Christmas hat on it. It woke right back up.

Tried a couple of these last night.... I am pretty happy with it and am looking forward to making another batch when it warms up a little.

Thank you all for your feedback! I brought this inside and I'm seeing airlock activity again. I have little spots of bubbles all over the surface. In a couple more days I will take another hydrometer reading and decide what to do.

Morning I used wind so ale yeast. OG was spot on for my extract kit. If it is finished... Gonna be sweeter than I like... I think I will bring it inside. This is my second full size batch. I think Santa is getting me a big 10gal cooler to mash in :mug:

I made a batch of Carabu Slobber about a month ago. It went in while it was still warm out. It began fermenting right away... vigorously. Then it got cold out and I caught my fermentation chamber down to about 58. It has had yeast floating as a thin layer on the top with a tiny amount...

I bottled this beer last Thursday. I learned another lesson.... clean a few extra bottles. I ran about 3 bombers short :mad: I asked my wife to take some pics... I have yet to get them uploaded from the text message she sent them to me with. Beer tastes good... nice n malty w/ a...

My limit seems to be about 4 gal with the pot I have. I have to spin the pot to keep the boil rolling nice. I have to bit the bullet and get another gas bottle filled and break these burners out!

This poor beer is back down to 60-62 degrees. I started up a carabu slobber and it is soo warm I had to crank down the temp control to 58.

This batch went into secondary this weekend. It started in my bottling bucket... or I would not have moved this one. I ended up buying a 7 gal fermonster so going forward I can go without a secondary. My current SG is 1.008 and I got a little more CO2 action once I moved it. It was a...
