First time brewer, long time drinker...

Hello All,

My wife gave me a NorthernBrewers GC for xmas. I used it to purchase a deluxe kit with the Caribou Slobber extract. It is currently fermenting. I will be going whole grain soon.


Thanks

Joe

I haven't tried that kit, but I've heard it's good. Welcome.

Welcome from MN and welcome to the hobby!

Welcome! I just received the NB deluxe kit last week. I ended up running a Irish Stout extract kit since the Caribou Slobber kit was missing the DME.

Hope your fermentation is going well!

The next morning it was going good. Had a vigorous fermentation for 24 hours. It has since slowed considerably. I will be purchasing hydrometer soon.

You'd think "deluxe" kit they'd include the $15 hydrometer. I'd have rather had that the thermometer. haha

Did you rehydrate your dry yeast or did you pitch it dry for the caribou slobber? Thinking I'll rehydrate mine this weekend when I brew it.

Welcome to the forum (Angels suck). Hope the beer turns out great!

I rehydrated it per the Danstar Windsor directions.

Been brewing for about 5 years. Started with a red ale extract kit and got hooked. Brewed in the stove top then out in the garage. Got tired of dragging my equipment around so took a break to build a electric brewing system and am getting to the end. Hope to brewing in another month or two. Glad to see all the Michigan folks on here. I am in Battle Creek.
