I'll just use my wort chiller from now on. I was being lazy and trying to make a slightly less mess in the kitchen today. My dumb ass decided to clean it before I brewed.

Stupid idea. Pulled the wort chiller out after 5 mins of it just heating my freezer up.

Has anyone ever chilled there wort in a empty freezer?

I went to home depot and they had everything i needed(tubing, pipe, hose claps, and attachment for sink) . Super easy to make. Only needed my hands and screw driver for the clamps.

And it started, she is fermenting slower than last but she is going.

Thanks, my last one started going crazy by 12 hours so I was worried on this one. I'll give it some time.

I brewed yesterday and finished at 7 pm. It's now 7 am and nothing is happening inside the carboy. I used white labs yeast that was best by march 10. Should I be worried or re-pitch some other yeast? My temp was at 68-70 last night and I am trying to warm it a few degrees right now. It's a wheat...

If you haven't sold the carboys by the 20th I will be interested in buying them when I'm in town.

Well today was my first time brewing by myself. Left the grains in until the water boiled so we shall see what happens. Thought I would give it a shot and keep it anyways.
