Thanks I really appreciate it. No harm done on the pot by the looks of it. I guess I'll just continue this boil of just water as the propane canister is almost empty, then soak it in some 5-star to be safe.

Got a sticky period button?

I about to use a 5 gallon pot to boil some wort, I cleaned with soap, scrubbed it with steel wool and there still seems to be some mildew stains on the pot? What the hell? I'm currently in the process of boiling 4 gallons to see if scrubbing after that will help. Any ideas as to how to get them...

It's not that bad really! I just felt it tasted similar to Budweiser. It's beer, it has alcohol, it's new, and again it's beer. Try it

Not sure if it's an infection? Smells great though! Any ideas?

Thats what I was thinking. I was mainly concerned about how fast my fermenting slowed down. After 24 hours it was vigorous for about 24 more hours. Then quickly went from a bubble every 12 seconds to a bubble every 15. Ive read that a hydrometer reading will tell its done or one bubble a minute...

I brewed beer late on the 9th going into the morning of the 10th. After about 24 hours my airlock looked like this. And also I'm not quite sure why the sanitized water in the airlock turned brown, I'm not to worried about it. Now 3ish days later its bubbling around once every 15 seconds. Am...

So folks, I can dump my wort into the fermenting bucket and then add my ice/cold tab water and be good?
