I don't think sanitation is the problem I was very careful in that step.

Give some time, it will continue to mellow until you can't believe it's the same beer. |

Depending on the yeast, that is probably on the upper end of the spectrum but still probably okay. You also have to realize that when the yeast is fermenting it can be 5-10 degree warmer than the ambient room temperature. I still think it is just on the young side.

It's been a couple of years since I brewed and need to get back into it. The local home brew shop is gone now and I'm looking to pickup an extract kit. Anyone have a preference for ordering online? I've looked at quite a few sites but don't have any experience with them.
This one looks promising as far as prices and selection. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/

Some other good ones I have and do used: http://www.midwestsupplies.com/homeb...gredients.html http://www.brewmasterswarehouse.com/ Use code BBBYO for 10% if you use the Brewbuilder. http://www.northernbrewer.com/ Just updated their site and have been some bugs lately, but I think it has been corrected.

Good to know. Thanks! I used Star-Sans, it came with the kit I bought. I'm in the market for a wort-chiller and a few other things. I am sure I'm ALREADY addicted to it. |

As far a wort chillers go 25inch will be fine for 5 gallon batches, but 50 is always better, haha. I would also recommend getting one with some kind of garden hose fittings for the ends of the copper or putting them on yourself. With mine right now, the hoses are just attached with clamps and I have issues with it leaking because of the temperarture changes during the cool down. Just a suggestion. |

He will work on getting his own kegerator later. We get all his supplies here at a local brew business (Bader Brew Supplies). It is just down the road from my house here in Vancouver, Wa.
