An empty container of LME weighs 1.34 oz.
Started fermenting a few hours after pitching. Rehydration must've been spot on. Glass carboy is in the corner of the living room with two wet t-shirts covering it.
Bottling day: 04/29. 1.5 oz of corn sugar with 1 cup boiling water. Makes 1.7 volumes.
Last bottle: 07/22. Taste test with Newcastle.
Appearance: Commercial is much clearer and much lighter. To be expected. My head is larger at first but dissipates quickly. Looks like similar levels of carbonation based on bubbles. Mine is an opaque brown, almost black. Newcastle is a nice copper red. Newcastle wins out here.
Aroma: Mine is nutty and caramelly, but only slightly so. Probably smelled stronger with fresher bottles. Medium notes of bread. Newcastle aroma is much harder to detect. Slightly nutty not much else.
Taste: Mine is rather carbonated upon entry. Newcastle's is immediately smoother. Not necessarily a better thing. Mine has caramel and roasted attributes. Newcastle's finish is more "boozy", mine is slightly more bitter, less boozy.
Mouthfeel: Mine has a fuller body, Newcastle is thin by comparison. Hard to find any other differences. Both dont leave a terribly strong after taste. Both are pleasant.
Overall: Maybe biased, but I prefer mine. The fuller body lends itself to a fuller, more robust taste. If I made it again, maybe I'll try upping the chocolate and/or black malt in order to bring out more flavours. |

Notes: The recipe sheet lists gold malt syrup, but that isn't on this site, not sure if light is much different.
At any rate, I got this extract kit to celebrate Men's Health Month, grew out my mustache, and part of the money I paid for the kit was donated for men's health research...Will try to get this on started in a couple of days. Cheers!
Once brewed, I will update these notes.

Notes: Friday 9/22/2017
Steeped the two varieties of grains and the roasted barley (4.2oz of each) for 30 minutes
Flame out part way through - no thermometer so i turned the flame on and off so as not to scorch
Removed grain
Added
1oz Cascade 7.1 AA
1oz East Kent Golding 5.6 AA
Set timer for 30min
About 7.5min to go – added 1oz East Kent Golding 5.6 AA
In a side pot – transferred some wort and dissolved 1lb DME and 0.5 lb sugar.
At end of timer, flame off and transferred side pot to main pot, removed hops, began cold crash.
I added two packs of dry Safale US-05 right into the fermenter - no rehydration.
The wort (pre-yeast) tasted amazing. Pretty sweet but thats to be expected at this point in the process. Has a good strong coffee taste to it.
Tuesday 9/26/2017 - Didn't notice much of any fermentation happening so I took a gravity reading and to my surprise, it was down to a little over 1.030 from a start of 1.090! It still tasted pretty sweet and I feel like the coffee taste has diminished somewhat.
There seemed to be stuff collecting at the bottom - not sure if it was dead yeast or what but I decided to stir things up a bit - literally. Then I re-hydrated about half a packet of Safale US-05 and poured that into the fermenter. Let's see what happens.

Notes: If you like a nice pepper beer with an extra kick (but not over powering), this might be right up your ally!
A day or two before Secondary Fermentation, Roast habanero peppers over open flame until a nice char is present or bake in oven at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Cover roasted peppers with vodka or Bourbon in a sealed container and soak for at least 24 hours. (this will sanitize the peppers).
Add peppers to carboy or secondary fermentor and rack in beer.
Add in vodka or Bourbon for extra kick if desired. It will raise the avb another .5% or so.(Otherwise save the booze for some kick-ass bloody mary's!)
Also, instead of adding peppers to the secondary fermentor. You can add the peppers directly to individual bottles during bottling day. This gives a very unique flavor as well!
Experiment and enjoy |

Notes: Bring 1 gallon filtered or bottled water to boil
Add 1 lb DME and stir until dissolved and foam is gone
Add hops
Boil 20 minutes total, adding LME in last 2 minutes - turn up heat while adding LME to maintain boiling temperature and stir well to avoid scorching.
Turn off heat after 20 minute boil and cool with 1.625 gallons (6.5 quarts) of chilled filtered or bottled water (in LBK).
Continue cooling in fridge until wort temp is 65-67 degrees.
Pitch 1 Packet S-04 yeast.
Ferment 1 week maintaining ambient temperature of 65 degrees.
Check gravity on day 6 and day 7 to ensure FG is reached.
If fermentation is done and yeast is clearing at 1 week, either place in fridge to cold crash overnight or leave 2-3 more days to compact yeast.
Carefully transfer to bottling bucket and prime with preferred method.
Maintain 72+ degree temperature for bottles during carb and within one week they should be fully carbed.
