Bottled this brew two nights ago. It attenuated well down to 1.013, which is excellent. My interior closet stayed a nice 66-68 for the duration. Smell was superb, and 2 gallons were bottled with 1 oz of strawberry extract (~half the recommended amount/volume, because I heard it was really...

I swish a gallon of starsan around in the carboy before I fill it with fermented goodness, but you do make a good point, and I may give it a try. In addition, yesterday afternoon I rinsed out the carboy with starsan and lots of hot water, and then added about a gallon of cold, filtered water...

I sanitize it the same way I do my HDPE buckets. Using properly mixed starsan. Tubing might be a good thing to replace, as it is being siphoned twice instead of once.

I've been using store-bought spring water and occasionally brita filtered tap (when I don't buy enough). Brews done concurrently with the above-listed ones that were not in the Bubbler tasted great.

I can't wait till I can accomplish #4. Crappy apartment + nosey toddler make for a sticky situation in that regard. Cheers! 1 & 3 are priceless.

So last summer I bought a 5 gallon Northern Brewer Bubbler so I could start doing some secondary fermentations on more complex brews. I've been brewing about 2 years and ~15/18 brews under my belt, some good, some bad, none ugly...until I tried doing secondaries with the Bubbler. I have made...

I want to see how this turns out. Looks simple and tasty

Brewed this tonight and achieved 60% efficiency, which equates to 4.5 gallons of 1.054 wort. Not bad for a first try. If I had a second kettle it would probably go better, as I would be able to dunk the grain bag into the sparge water, rather than just pouring the water over the grain bag with...

Replying to this so I can find it later to try with my mini fridge :) Sent from my Nexus 4 using Home Brew mobile app

You should be ok. Has the fruit been in the fermenter the whole time? If so, then there might be problems, but I've never done a beer that way, so I'm not the right person to answer that. Sorry. Good luck!:D

Bueller?

Bear with me for formatting. This is my first post, though I've been brewing hybrid extract for about two years, and searching this site for my needs for about ~18 months. I thought I would share a recipe, get some feedback, and maybe ask a question or three from our more experienced brewers...
