ryepa in secondary, 1st inki brown

Racked rypea to secondary so i can boil the home recipe brown ale tomorrow morning or late tonight. should bottle ryepa in 2 weeksish (8/12). gravity was about 1.015. so far the most behaving brew

brewing my version of big river brown with amber DME instead of the LME. had to measure grains by volume since no scale (6T hopefully equals 2oz). munton's cheap yeast, used DME in starter for first time, hopefuly good.

midwest ryepa, brown ale first taste

yikes! waited a long time to do ryepa. followed midwest recipe pretty closely. 1.045 before yeast. Will bottle on 8/12 maybe. gonna do the primary-only for 3 weeks. i added whirlfloc at 10 minutes, we'll see whether that make a difference.

brown ale turned out good. tried a bottle after 8 days, just fine.

brown ale bottling day

bottled the brown ale after 3 weeks in primary. gravity was still just below 02. we'll see how it turns out. sample tasted good, but i could taste the priming sugar. next boil soon.
