Lots of great information in this thread! Hope when I get home from work everything's okay with my beer! As far as where the fermentor is stored, it's is currently in a closet on the interior of the house and should maintain a somewhat consistent temps, however we have had some crazy temp...

don't have any..

Well, went to check the fermentation today again, would you believe it? Same thing, no water in airlock...Filled here back up and hoping for the best. Weird though as soon as 5 minutes later, a lot of activity in the airlock and is already missing about half its water i just added? And for...

Why vodka?

100% sure BrewNC

There was a touch, as in not enough for the airlock do it's job.

So, I just brewed my 3rd batch of beer, where it has been in the primary for 2 days, this morning when I checked on it it had a very active and healthy fermentation. Just now I checked it and the airlock barely had any water in it at all! I was really confused and made up some sanitizer and...

I did add water after the boil, I'm worried maybe the bubbles from the aeration process might have thrown me off... So the beer will still be drinkable?

Okay guys so I just bottled my first batch of brew last weekend, I'm pretty worried though after reading some information on these forums. I brewed a Hop Cult IPA from Midwest, when it was done in the secondary I noticed when I racked it to my bottling bucket I only had a little over 3...

I responded "I'm looking for the 90-Minute IPA from Dogfish" He found it for me and I said thanks and he...

I'm drinking a 90-Minute IPA from Dogfish, I know its nothing crazy but I LOVE IT! haha:D

I did remove it from the burner to add the extract, I guess I returned it before it was fully dissolved! :( Oh well, sounds like if there's any effect it won't ruin the batch! Thanks for the help! BTW, it wasn't that hard to clean, it was nearly nothing at all!(Hope that's a good sign!" I...

So last night I started my first extract brewing experiance. At the point where I transferred the wort into the primary to pitch the yeast, I noticed a light brown ring in the bottom of my brew kettle, clearly the size of the burner that was previously below it. It didn't look burnt or...

There is defiantly some chemistry sparking there. And who knows about the SS runes, it's the zombie apocalypse! Maybe he found it that way lol

I've been posting around the beginners forum over the last week an just figured it was my time to post an intro. I just ordered my starter kit so my brewing experiance is nil, however eager to learn and get started. Thanks to the forum I feel I'm getting off on the right foot! I'm currently...
