    Last straw

    Could be the temperature in your basement is on the colder side and the bottles just need longer to carbonate? Typically I give 2-3 weeks before opening a bottle to make sure it ready.

    Free Logos or Beer Labels

    Green Goatee Brewing - I've fooled around a bit with different looking fonts of a G with a beard made of hops, but haven't settled on anything I'm thrilled with. Was thinking maybe Black, white, green, possibly gray? Also a tough looking dog with a green beard could be cool. Have fun with...

    First brew day! It's finally here

    Correct, your gravity will be higher post boil due to boil off. Hang in there, brew days don't always go exactly as planned, but you always learn something and get better for it. Congrats on your first brew!

    I've been using the SP10 with no complaints. Yes it can be loud, but I don't personally find that to be a problem. I'm still able to have conversation with my brewing buddies without trouble. Nice burner for the money, heated up nicely even in the winter time.
