Thanks for reassuring me :mug: I may have a bottle or two that are oxidized then due to being the lasr of the batch and may have gotten some air in them.Oh well two are better then 48 :rockin: Sean

Ive noticed on my last batch that there was foam in the bottle as i was bottlling.Couldnt the foam push out the oxygen? Damn I hope my beer isnt ruined.Can anyone here reccommend a better type of botlling wand that wont make the beer bubble? Sean

My first kit was a BB IPA kit and it came out very drinkable for me and my buddies.However, I think I did overboil the hops cause I couldnt notice any bitterness to it and there wasnt any hop notes either.It was more of a lighter colored amber ale.Still great for first time kits though.I think...

Ok I went out and bought a 8in. metal strainer and I got my first mini mash kit today.All the grain wont fit in the strainer at once.Should I just divide my sprage water in half and sparge both bags one at a time? Please Help Sean
