you are getting into homebrewing because you are getting the 3rd kit
...err, as it turns out, I wasn't the only person who was thinking about getting a kit to you ... you are getting hooked up by tctenten!
there's just so much love ...
D3monic said:wait huh? I'm not sure I know what's going on here but I think I like it
i was planning to send you the 3rd kit when i send JHP's ... but tctenten PM'd me because he was separately thinking about sending you a kit like i'd sent him one ...
so you are getting hooked up by tctenten, whom i hooked up, and i'm hooking up Chris still ...
also, i'm giving him your addy ...
I have been waiting for an opportunity to pay forward what Grant did for me. He completely set me up for my first brew. So PM your addy and your next inline to "Ask Grant" and hopefully work your way up to "Ask Wheebz"D3monic said:wait huh? I'm not sure I know what's going on here but I think I like it
Well I greatly appreciate it guys. I already got hops going in the back yard. I'll make sure to harvest it next year. Maybe I should set up another trellis or string lines in the backyard away from where the stupid dogs can get at it.
my wife going to go nuts once she figures out I may have another hobby... lol.

Someone has to keep growing the peppers though, I've been planning on counting on all of you guy's for fresh pods next year, LOL ...
I'm usually good for a hobby for 2 years.... i'll spend thousands on a hobby before bouncing and selling it off for a few bucks.
last big hobby was poison dart frogs. I had a LOT invested in it... more than the reef tanks. some of the frogs in my collection where $250-$500 each I had some beautiful vivariums though. Just allergies couldn't take all the fungus and ect.

it's even more fun, now you can have her get you a keg =)
who doesn't want a keg from their mother in law? #winning
Checked on the oatmeal stout when I got home and we have some krausen on top. Absolutely no action in the blowoff tube but it certainly looks like the yeast are working.
An early thanks to all of the service men and women for Veteran's Day tomorrow. What they have done and continue to do is appreciated by most.
I am fortunate enough to have the day off and I am pretty sure that I am going to brew the Summer Wheat kit that I have.
On my last brew, this past saturday, I used half a packet of US-05. I sealed up the packet and put it back in the fridge, is it ok to use the remaining 1/2 packet?

I defer to the others who might have done that, but I have not (and probably would not just because wasting the time spent brewing over a couple of dollars would be a tragic mistake in my realm) ...
That's all I needed….and I agree. Will use new unless someone else has positive past experience with doing something similar.
That will leave me with one more kit, the Chocolate Maple Porter. Should I just grab some more US-05 or is there a better yeast for a porter?
First batch will have been in bottles for two weeks this saturday and I am really looking forward to my first real glass of chilled homebrew. My second batch and the beer I brew tomorrow should be ready to drink in early december. I will most likely brew the last kit this weekend and that should be ready just prior to the holidays. That will fill up all of my gallon containers and probably leave me with enough beer to get me through January…as long as it is drinkable
.
Then I plan to try and do a 2 or 3 gallon batch early next year. Not sure if I will ever get up to a 5 gallon brew for a few reasons. Just more crap I have to store, and it may just be more beer than I need.

Yummy, I love wheats and IPAs. I hit the local liquor store today hoping to snag some 3 floyds but they was all out. They said it is usually sold out within a few hours of delivery. Some time this winter (probably after xmas) I'll be sure to send you and grant a few bottles from them to try. Their wheat beer Gumball head and the IPA Zombie dust are really good.
