    I have been there. Actually, I purchased a carboy, auto siphon and Golden Ale brew kit from them. Nice place.

    First and second brew

    Yeah, I'm not sure if it matters much.... but when I transferred to the secondary, I left a good 2 inches of beer above the sediment and did the same when racking from secondary to bottling bucket. Maybe I left all the yeast in the carboys????? Hopefully kegging turns out better.....I slowly...

    First and second brew

    No offense taken. After all, it seems my terminology was correct. Yeah, sanitation was obviously an issue. I now know how important it is. The bottles sat at about 74 degrees....some are still sitting there and aren't carbonated. 30psi....I'm just looking for something that will be...

    Thanks I thought "rack" meant to transfer to anything..ie rack (transfer) to keg. I am completely new to this and have been lurking the kegging forum quite a bit. It seems that there are many members that follow the 30 psi for 60 hours. I'll report back when I'm done and pull the tap...

    Iordz - What do you recommend for a quick(er) carb? It seems the consensus on this board is 30psi for 60 hours or serving psi for weeks. I would really like to serve this brew this weekend.

    Yes. We used 5oz of Dextrose and prepared as directed. I bought Grolsh style bottles that I suspect weren't air tight enough. The 12 oz bottles have a little more carb but they obviously weren't sanitized well.

    Thanks for the welcome McKBrew...I am by no means discouraged it was fun and turned out somewhat drinkable. I just racked my second attempt in a 5 gallon corney and posted this: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=401959 in the beginner beer brewing forum.

    First and second brew

    I made this first extract brew with friends while watching a Redsox game and only a very basic knowledge of the brewing process. Basically we talked to the owner of a local brew shop for about 45 minutes, bought a kit, read the instruction manual that was supplied with the brew kit and recipe...

    Hi - Been lurking for a couple months.... I jumped in head first with a basic kit, secondary glass carboy and a few other small upgrades a few months ago. My first brew was a Golden Ale with a few mishaps. I'll get into that a bit later.
