lord_casek Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hydro- That looks like he has a good setup. From the carboy to the bottle tree, your boy must be into the hobby a little further than myself. What kind of beer were you bottling? Casek- The porter you described sounds dope and a little easier to make. Did you buy a pre-packaged kit, or was this another "family" recipe? Daily- Something doesn't sound right with your homie brewing in only 7 days. He would have to have some commercial equipment to brew that fast, but I could be wrong. What kind of beer did he brew? it was a kit. well, a can. iron hammer porter. something hammer...whatever. it's bubbling. i'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HydrogenPeroxide Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hydro- That looks like he has a good setup. From the carboy to the bottle tree, your boy must be into the hobby a little further than myself. What kind of beer were you bottling? Year, he's been making beer for a few years and this was the first time he skipped the pre packaged stuff and did 75% of it from scratch. He knows a brewmaster so the yeast wasn't packaged, it was from one of the batches at the brewery. Its a honey lager, i think. I was totally along for the ride on this batch, i cant remember He made a jalapeno beer last time and goddamn, that was one of the best beers ive ever had. We're cracking the new batch tomorrow, i'll report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what your hearing about with light beer is when talking about lagers….Pilsners and other light lagers. This is mainly because these style of beers need to be fermented at specific temperatures and a few other specifics and there is not a whole lot of play in the temp range, if they ferment/lager outside of these ranges you get a completely different beer one usually with many off flavors and then people making up stories that their hard. If you have the proper equipment a light lager really is no different than making an ale. In your case you should have no problems since you are making an ale. They are very forgiving and can ferment at all different temp ranges, each will have its own outcome in the end but anywhere from 60-75 degrees and your fine, As always watch sanitation.

ClueTwo Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Ok, so I bottled my beer last night ad now the hard part. I've got four friends that all bought the same kit, different brews, and we're having a beer off on Super Bowl Sunday. I need a name. The beer is a German Oktoberfest, but the name can be whatever the hell I want obviously. Gimme some ideas people.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stout is no harder than the process described throughout the thread, just different ingredients. One of my buddies is making an Irish Stout (similar to Guinness). He used the exact same kit, with different ingredients and maybe some minor adjustments to the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who drives the armored truck at work makes his own wine and hard cider, you boys ever get into that? Anyone know the difficulty level of making a stout? stout and porters are the easiest to make... its all the same process but those specific beers are so dark and full flavored that its easier to mask any imperfections within the beer. for instance if you were making a wheat beer as i am and you didnt let it ferment in the right temperature like i did it comes out with an off taste because its a much lighter flavored beer.

vanfullofretards Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 This is a stupid question but, is that shit carbonated? If so (which im guessing it is) hows that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClueTwo Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 You can either force carbonation or do it the natural way. Mine was done with natural carbonation. Basically, it's sugar added to the final batch prior to bottling that causes a chemical reaction creating pressure inside the bottle.

That's whats up. This may become my new favorite thread when I get a kit. I'm officially convinced. Dark beers are my favorite, and it's definitely time I make my own.
