Thanks for the recipe bro... Imma see if I can make it on the third or forth batch...13lbs of extract!!!! holy shit..... this beer is gonna put me to sleep.

Dude, my very first brew day was yesterday... I pitched the yeast and aerated around 8pm last night.......woke up this morning at 9am to a bubbling airlock... I was worried that I didnt aerate it enough.....but I guess i did. YAY!!!!!

so far so good.

ohhhh man I love Imperial Stout..... whats the ABV on your stout recipe?.... do you go all grain or extract?

if you have a good recipe for Imperial Stout hook me up.... I love stouts!

Awesome man.....thanks for the help...
I just got my kit shipped in today....waiting for my recipe kits to come in from austinhomebrew.com....... gonna make a Honey Wheat Ale and American amber ale for my first couple batches. cant wait till i got a few batches under my belt so I can try the double chocolate stout!
Hopefully I can have my Brewday this weekend.

so I have a quick question for you....
when should you rack a beer into the secondary fermenter.... I know its not required, but It came with my kit so id like to use it.... plus Id rather have a clearer beer than a big yeast cake at the bottom of every bottle. Ive read the 1-2-3 rule which is 1 wk primary-2wks secondary- 3 weeks bottle. But then other people say to rack into secondary after the bubbles have slowed to 1-3 bubbles per minute... Im pretty confused, since youve beeen brewing for quite a while I would like to know your advice on racking. When do you do it for your beer?
