What do you mean when u say .5L Step 2 .75L?

What if I used a 64 ounce growler as my flask? How would that work?

Lame, that's silly they would send me something that small, when most people make 5 gallon bathes

This is my first yeast starter, I bought the kit from northern brewer, so I'm making a 5 gallon batch of 1.075 OG. It says to use 650 ml of water with 1/2 cup of DME, what I was wondering is, will this be the right amount for a 5 Gallon batch? Thanks

Ok thanks, And all do some searching before I do the starter

So I'm doing a black IPA kit and it says to use a yeast starter. I bought the starter kit with the beaker thing, now do I use my whole Wyeast packet in it or do I save some of the Wyeast to put in the whole wort once it's cooled? Thanks in advance, and the extract kit is from northern brewer.

has anyone noticed when not using a bag for pellets a bunch of stuff in the beer when it comes to racking day?

ok thanks guys, so it seems like the pellets are the only thing that might need to be bagged. Im leaning towards no bag with the pellets... I have whole hops and pellets.....

this is my first brew that needs dry hops added to the second fermenter. Do i need to put the hop pellets or whole hops in a cheese cloth bag or anything like that, or can I just toss it in and not worry about it?

yeah its not an all grain kit, i read it somewhere.. so i should be good to go?

this would be my second brew, i have just a starter kit and dont really know much about this stuff yet... I was wanting to make a brew that was an IPA or just more than the amber ale I made. I saw this local kit and was wondering if my starter kit would work or if I need anything extra for hops...

ugh, OK IM discouraged. So can i just pour it back into the carboy on week 2 or 3 with the spiget or do i need to siphon it back in? Because i do NOT want to prime each individual bottle.

ok, what do you mean by prime each bottle?

OK i understand, I may have made it confusing... but i have my brew in a "bottling bucket right now, fermenting. I was just worried that if I left it in the original fermentor I would have a lot more "junk" floating in it when I used the spigit to put the beer in the bottles...

My second bucket would be my carboy and it does NOT have a spigot, would you suggest using that to bottle right away after 3 weeks? or should i go to my carboy to loose some of the Trub then syphon? cause thats the only way i have to get the beer out of the carboy.

hmmm with all this new info and the equipment I have, Im going to just wait 3 weeks with my primary and then put it into the glass carboy with the prime sugar, then bottle. Does that sound like a good plan? please tell me other wise!!!

OK forgive me.. you said gets the beer off the trub. what is trub? and correct me if im wrong but you DID transfer the beer to another bucket, then directly put it into the bottles? why did you take that extra step and, not just go straight to the bottles? trub is just the stuff at the bottem??

ok i will take this to heart! thanks :ban:
