Took a gravity reading tonight and its spot on(1.016). I guess it was just a fast fermentation!

AC-if I open my primary bucket to take a reading, wont that let too much air in?.This is a fairly new bucket I'm using, Im not saying it isnt possible, but Im fairly sure the co2 isnt leaking anywhere else and it was bubbling pretty fiercly the first 2 days.The OG was 1.050....

I made a Brewers Best Robust Porter kit on friday night.Come Sunday morning it had stopped "bubbling" out of the airlock.Is this common? All the other kits I have made had fermented over a 4-6 day period. I did not take a gravity reading yet, but will. I was just wondering if it could be done...

"Ironbound"...the latest from overkill is an incredible cd!

OVERKILL.....most under rated thrash/speed metal band to date.

Dfc..... I spent my entire youth at bogarts and Sudsys. If I recall...sick of it all opened for agnostic front. Were u from cincy?

It was bogarts...... Sudsys is closed down.

I use one.....for months I couldnt get used to it...would wake me up often. Til one day I just couldnt sleep without it. If my SA went away I may still need to use it just because it has become so routine.

Zep....I read your thread prior to posting mine. My next question is should I let it carbonate at room temps or should I go right to the refridge for a month or so to carbonate? If I do refridgerate would that be considered lagering since the yeast has already worked?

Whiskey was just the fierst word to pop in my head.....more of a sweet alcoholy taste is more descript. Thanx for all the replies!!!

Hey all, first post!! Here are my questions. I recently brewed my second batch of beer.It was a Brewers Best German Oktoberfest from a kit. The fermentables were 6.6 lb of Munich LME and 1 ib. of Amber DME. The instructions said it should be fermented at lager temps but would ferment fine as...
