Brewing: Octoberfest Kit

July 14, 2008 07:27 by Jay McNeely

I started brewing a batch of Oktoberfest on Saturday.  It is looking good so far.  I was excited to use a few toys I picked up to make brewing easier.  Like an autosiphon...  Guess it helps to have the right sized tubing to use the toys you want to!  In a month I will start my next beer, prob a wheat beer for the end of summer... which in florida is around thanksgiving.  My next batch will not be a kit at all, but I will buy all of the ingredients piece meal for this one!

Just finished the Bottling process

January 21, 2008 05:55 by Jay McNeely
Good news, yesterday I just finished bottling my first batch of beer.  I got a kit for Red Ale, easy to follow instructions.  I let my house get cold one of the days that it was fermenting, and I think my yeast had issues because of this.  The Alcohol percentage will be low because of this.  I hope that the sugar I added to the bottles to create carbination will still work.  Overall the beer smelled and looked like red ale after a week of fermentation.  In 2 weeks I will take a bottle out and give it a try.
