Ok I can rest a bit easier now, thank you for the thought out replys! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Home Brew mobile app

I just got done brewing an IPA, it's only my second batch and my first time using wyeast. Everything was all good until I went to top off my fermenter with water to get it to 5 gal. I use bottled spring water and should have bought 6 gal but only had 5, after boil evaporation I was more than...

Cool, thanks guys!

From what I have read I think I am ok but just wanted some re-assurance...I did my first brew about 15 days ago and have gotten normal fermentation since then based on my research, but am still getting a bubble about once every 40 seconds or so, temp is reading about 63/64 F. This seem ok?

Thanks guys, just finished my brew, all went well, pretty excited and hoping it turns out good!

Hey all I'm about to brew my first batch and had a question about aerating the wort. When pouring it back and forth from the fermenter and brew pot, my fermenter will be sanitized obviously, but I am using a 9 gallon stainless pot, I realize the walls of the pot where the boil takes place will...

Hey guys, I bought a beginners setup from Midwest about a year ago and am finally about ready to start my first brew hopefully this week. I hadn't opened the extract kit (autumn amber ale) until a few days ago and noticed it said to refrigerate yeast on arrival and it has an expiration date of...

Some of these questions I won't know until I get going with it, but I am starting with extract kits and probably 5 gallon batches. I do feel like once I get going I will be doing this a while, I still have a lot of homework to do (got "how to brew" about a week ago and plan on reading that cover...

Cool, that is the burner I have been looking at too. Looks like you've made a lot of progress in a year! Hope to be in the same spot next year, thanks!

I have just about everything but a brew kettle and a burner to get me going. I've been scouring Homebrew Finds but can't seem to pull the trigger on anything. I'm looking at probably a stainless, here's a couple i'm thinking about recently...
