Home Brewing Biography: I've always had a passion for beer and one of my best friends let me taste one that he and his dad had done. That was it for me. It was a delicious Belgian Blonde, and I realized that this couldn't be that hard. I did the research and purchased the necessary equipment to get going.

I started with a 5 gallon bucket from true brew for my initial fermenter. I have a 5 gallon plastic carboy to use as a secondary fermenter, but will be adding to that. My first beer was a pumpkin spice porter.

or does yeast not do that
Posted in thread: Worst Brew Day Ever!!!! on 10-08-2011 at 09:57 PM
Im not an expert, but I would assume the yeast is going to multiply inside your beer so you end
up with enough, just a slower start than usual

I have done some more reading and decided to rack the mead from my bottling bucket, which
doubles as my primary fermenter, into a carboy, due to wanting my bottling bucket back before
the mead is done...
