- Have a few friends that home brew and enjoy the process with them. Unfortunately I do not live close to them anymore, so decided to go at it on my own as well. Basic setup right now to get into it. Fermenting and bottling buckets and a 7.5 gallon kettle.

Looks good after only 1 1/2 weeks. Let it sit another 1 1/2 weeks, only way to see if there is
a difference is to let it sit a bit longer. I will say all of mine have been substantially
better the lon...Posted in thread: GT Keezer on 06-18-2013 at 12:45 PM
Thanks. That means a lot considering some of the keezers that are on here. Here's a next to
last pic hopefully, then the next will be with all of the goodies attached.Posted in thread: GT Keezer on 06-14-2013 at 11:52 AM

belt making it ...Posted in thread: A few questions on secondary temps? on 06-06-2013 at 03:00 AM
You can let it rise to 70 or so if you want. The most important temp phase is over. You don't

just fine.Posted in thread: A few questions on secondary temps? on 06-05-2013 at 11:03 PM
You can raise it a bit. It'll kick up the energy of the yeast a little bit to help them finish
off the byproducts.Posted in thread: 72 Hours, no visible fermentation on 06-05-2013 at 04:57 PM
Fermentation can be very fast and then slowly finish off. 1.000 sounds a little low, but
certainly not unheard of. I assume you mean the package was not sanitized before you pitched?

Those will be much more likely to rust over time and leach things into your wort you likely do
