    To keg or not to keg that is the qestion.

    I am finishing up a brew and I want a keg but I also want some bottles. If I bottle with the keg will I still need to wait for the best taste or is the wait after bottling simply for co2?

    5 days in and no activity from airlock.

    Crap I got them fermenting in the same place. Looks like I might need to figure out a temperature controlled box or wait for cooler weather to do the pilsner again. I will post on this thread and give you guys the verdict on this beer.

    Ok so it is normal for the gas release to stop/slow to a crawl so early?

    The temp is in the mid 60s and I am fermenting one in a glass Carboy and the other in a food grade bucket that came with a starter kit. The fermentation was crazy the first few days but now seems to have dropped off to nothing.

    I know I have posted a similar question but I am thoroughly confused at this point. No co2 coming from air lock. One 5 gallon jug of pilsner and one jug of dunkel. Should I move either of them to a new Carboy for clarity?

    How do i know when my beer os done fermenting?

    Thanks guys. I have a hydrometer so I will check it like that. Will leaving the yeast to clean up after themselves help make my beer more clear?

    How do i know when my beer os done fermenting?

    I am brewing my fist batch of beer and I am not sure how to tell of the fermentation is done or is finishing up. I don't want to take the instructions at face value because they say 1 week which seems a little short.

    Plug Popped out of Carboy

    Ok great. My dad says my home brew will taste like crap... Really want to make something a little decent.

    Plug Popped out of Carboy

    So I shouldn't bottle it up after a week or two? I did two batches of different stuff. I think I can manage to keep my hands off of it for a little while. Just need to find a better place to store it.

    Do you think thee fermentation has stopped? Little to no bubbling from air lock this morning.

    Plug Popped out of Carboy

    First brew there was a lot of foam spewing out to the air lock but everything looked ok. The next morning the air lock had clogged and popped the plug which was left over night. Day 3 not much bubbling coming from airlock. Did I mess it up?
