    sporr → Pennsylvania Beer Enthusiasts: this red ale I brewed just keeps getting better and better. I racked my summer ale into the secondary the other night. That looked and smelled great. Hope it is as good as my first brew.

    sporr → Pennsylvania Beer Enthusiasts: I started a Summer Ale the other day. Added some extra honey to it just for a little kick. This is only my second time brewing and the differences between that first brew and this second one are just huge.

    sporr → Pennsylvania Beer Enthusiasts: Couldn't take it another minute. I had to take a peek inside my primary to see what it looked like. There is a crust over the the top of it and it smells like when my wife makes bread. So according to a buddy of mine that has been doing this for a little ...  more

    sporr My Honey Summer Ale has turned out quite nice. Right now I have a apricot wheat in the secondary. I'm thinking about racking that one into another carboy at the 2 week mark for another week. Try and get it to clear up as much as I can before bottle time.

    sporr So far so good. Probably going to move this brew into the secondary fermenter towards the end of the week. Then I'm probably just going to go ahead and start another batch right away.

    sporr I am excited to try it out. I'm going to go the keg route. I would like to get one or 2 of the small 3 gallon kegs. But wow are they expensive. I can get a 5 gallon keg for less than half of one of those small ones.

    sporr I'm doing a Irish Red Ale. It's from a Brewers Best Kit I got a while back at Mr. Steve's. I had to get a new pack of yeast but other than that so far so good.

    sporr I have my first batch of beer brewing. Still waiting for the bubbler to really kick in. My buddy in VA told me not to worry that it is kind of slow. He said that happens sometimes. I'll give it another full day before I start to worry.

    sporr → KenRygh: Got the kit out of the basment yesterday. Looks like I still need to get a brew kettle and some lids. The Irish Red I have should still be good to use. Everything in the kit is either vaccum packed or canned. Question is the yeast, not sure if it's any go...  more

    sporr Hopefully this wek I'm going to brew my first batch of beer. Going to go the keg route, maybe the small kegs so I can bottle some and keg some from the same batch.
