This week I decided to throw together a batch of brew on my own. I ordered the Autumn Amber Ale from Midwest Supplies and brewed some up. OG = 1.045 (right on target). I opened up the primary (I don't endorse it) and boy was it looking good! I can't wait to transfer to the secondary next week!
Update: I just spoke with Bryan and he took a hydrometer reading of his Irish Red Ale today and its at roughly 1.020. Almost down to his FG, but not quite. This is a good sign. He was pretty worried that he wasn't getting much action in the primary. He plans to transfer to his secondary in a few days.
In other news, I took some pictures of the steps involved in making a yeast starter when I brewed my Autumn Amber. I will be posting these later this week with step by step instructions. Hopefully this is useful to someone out there.

Irish ale is smelling real good and almost ready for the transfer. Get those Autumn ale pics up!
I am in the middle of my Autumn Amber, and it is my first homebrew. Not sure if I am being patient enough. I left it 6 days in the primary, and was wondering how long I should leave it in the secondary? Thanks for the tip.
