Pretty much, yea. If you're looking to get into it, NB has an awesome sale right now where you can get an extract kit, starter kit, and kettle. Father's Day sale I do believe.

Stick with extract for awhile. Refine your process and smaller things, such as fermentation temps and such. Once you're consistantly making good extract brew, invest in some good AG equipment and learn that part. Also, if you're looking for a good recipe book, then I recommend Zainashef's...

Rack to secondary before lagering. A temp controller on your fridge may help quite a bit later on down the road, if its a possibility.

You should be good bottling it. Secondary may help clear everything up a bit but you could just cold crash it, rack it to secondary to bottle, and then let it condition.

I've got some space issues at the moment. For temp control during fermentation, I put my carboys in a deep freeze with a TC on it to control the temperature. Would there be much of an effect on the flavor of the beer if I move them out of the Freezer into a closet (ambient temps but still a bit...

I brew because it is my passion. Sharing my brew and hearing People's thoughts on it is my favorite aspect. Also, the gf loves it.

Fantastic information Trigger. Thanks for the info. I had planned on fermenting this in my Deepfreeze that I use for temp control, but I may just let this sit in my closet because it's a bit warmer. Great information to have.

Alright guys, it's Saison time. Those of you who have done it, what're your tips for this particular style? Mainly I'm talking recommended yeasts and fermentation yeasts. I'm brewing from Brewer's Best Belgian Saison kit this weekend. Any tips on adding something to make it better?

Anybody know anything about this sort of thing?

Two things I had planned on doing: After primary fermentation has slowed down a bit, I planned on adding 2 lbs of Honey to the fermentation to add a light flavor to the beer. Then I planned on racking to secondary (something...

How are you measuring temperature? The thermostat for your house or a fermometer on the actual carboy? Since fermentation is exothermic, the temperature of the beer is ~5 degrees higher than the ambient temperature of the room.

Find out if he does all-grain or extract, and then buy the ingredients for a delicious brew.
