Brewed my second batch today. With my first batch I used a meat thermometer and it would not read the wort below about 80 degrees. I went to LHBS and picked up a proper thermometer and still it did not read below 80 degrees, even after an ice bath and sitting in my house (~74) for about 1.5...

I was going to brew today with a bucket as my carboy is full. Only problem is my airlock broke the other day when I was trying to get the blowoff tube off of it. Right now on my carboy I have a piece of foil until I can get a real airlock but I was wondering what I could do with the bucket...

My order for my homebrew kit fell through so I was wondering if I can gather all the equipment needed from general stores like home depot and such. I do not have a homebrew store near me so that is out of the question and I really do not want to order online. I figure on getting my...

Hello everyone, I want to start home brewing but I am feeling a little overwhelmed with all the equipment kits out there. I was looking at the Mr. Beer kits but I am someone who tends to get hooked on hobbies and would probably want to immediately upgrade. I guess my main question is what is...
