Transferred the batch to the secondary yesterday. I'm a little concerned, the wort looks very murky, almost like muddy water. Anyone ever have a batch turn out like this. I'm a week out from brew day. Do you think it will clear up over time? I plan to leave it in the secondary at least another...

Bought an all grain kit online about 3 weeks ago. Shipping took forever so I contacted the company. They said its possible that the package had been lost so they said they would send a replacement kit. A couple of days ago I got a package and then I got another tonight (score!). Anyway, I only...

Thanks for the info guys! I decided to get the all stainless steel clamps from brew hardware. Since I had to buy a 10 pack, I'll have a few extra in case anyone else needs any. Will be glad to help out a fellow brewer.

Thanks. Hopefully things will work out. I guess I'm just being overly paranoid since this is my first batch. Appreciate the information.

Thanks for the advice guys. I will say one thing that has concerned me about this batch has been the lack of active activity coming from my airlock. Honestly, i didn't see any activity within the first 48 hrs. At first II thought I didn't have a tight seal around the lid, however I pressed...

I've been fermenting my first batch for about a week now. I was gonna take a reading with my hydrometer and possibly move it into a secondary fermenter. However, today I broke my hydrometer before I could get a reading. Turns out my local homebrew store is sold out of hygrometers, so I ordered...
