I started with champagne yeast, then went to an ale yeast a week later. Sorry I cannot be more specific, I am in chile and the yeasts were not numbered as far as I could tell.
The beer smelled and tasted fine, I had about 1.5 pints left over after bottling so I just drank that..it was very...
Ok I just bottled the stuff, tried to keep most of that crap out of the bottling bucket, but some may have gotten in. I tasted it and it tastes great. What should I watch out for from here on out? Also I stupidly used 2 different types of yeast for fermenting, champagne and ale yeast (added at...

I live in Chile now and since Malt Extract is hard to find here, I need to change to all grain. To save space I would love to go with the BIAB style, but upon scouring a ton of hardware stores and talking to contractors and the like I have discovered that paint strainer bags are simply not in...
Wonderful! Thank you! I will take it slow and steady. Thanks for the tip about bending towards the middle of the pipe, I probably would have gone for where it connects to the cooling element. Thanks!!
