I would like a code, thank you.

Welcome From Federal Way!

Nice, Just in time :rockin:

Funny you should say that. Today I walked by a batch that I have not had the time to bottle and I looked at it and there was some movement on the airlock. Mine is not continual, but I was surprised after this long for any activity.

Funny, I was just coming up with something similar as I wanted the water to be cooler then tap to decrease cooling times, as well as recycle the water and minimize my water waste. Since my wort chiller is set to use a garden hose, I thought to get a sump pump and drop into ice water, then have...

Yes, I see. I have not drank every import on the planet. I was generalizing. It was something that was brought to my attention when I was first gathering bottles. I think a more appropriate way to say it then is to look at the bottles your getting and notice the neck difference so it will...

I pour mine into a cold glass. My preference. If there is some left in the bottle, i place it in the fridge and return to it when I hear it calling me. I still bottle 12's just not 40 of them. I have 32's as well.

1. Make sure the rubber stopper is dry when you put it on, as well as the lip of the carboy. I know this because I currently have a stopper floating in my beer as well. your not alone. I personally am going to get a larger stopper, if I can ever get this one out.

now you just have to modify your drinking habits. funny how when I found this out I made sure any beer I purchased had the correct bottle to recycle.:rockin:

this is what I did, I got a pot, and an outdoor burner for 50.00. perfect.

I think the pot that works for you is the way to go. Get one that you can expand on. If you want to do all grain, your going to need a large pot. Personally, I got a 7.5 gallon pot and I am happy with it. 300 dollar pot? not to confusing, no way for me at least until maybe I actually need...

I use it on mine. Just don't soak it overnight. If you do, re season the pot.

Whats your ultimate plan? Extract, All Grain? think ahead, save money

pitch below 80. till then, keep refreshing with cool water. Drive to the store, get some ice. Stop worrying. Why your there, go to the kitchen isle, get a thermometer. sanitize it and use it.

Get bottles that need a bottle cap remover to open. Do not buy import beers because they have a different lip. Go to the store and look at a Corona bottle vs a Pyramid ale bottle. the thick necked ones fit the capper's. I buy 22's as this is less work then capping 12's and I am never, ever...
